Dr. Ryne Siler enlists his friend, Dr. Cary Matthews, a brilliant engineer, to figure out how to stop it. When the investigation goes awry, they’re on the run, and the only thing between them and capture is a hidden cache of sleeping soldiers with enhancements of their own. Ryne and Cary are desperate, but will waking these soldiers help – or just make things worse?
Close Encounter
Space privateer Tris is just doing his job – delivering canisters to a military science vessel – when he discovers that he is transporting people infected with an engineered virus designed to exterminate the human race. In the midst of an alien attack, can the rogue pilot save patient Retter – the key to the cure? Or will he lose both humanity’s salvation and his heart?
Following the Sun
The nearly fatal crash of their spacecraft leaves Jack and Samuel stranded on a verdant planet far from civilization. Discovered and sheltered by a native tribe, the two resign themselves to new lives – lives that include a new culture, a new language, and even new love. But their new home isn’t at all what it seems, and when war and illness strike, they find out just how far from home they are.
Far From Home is another winning collection from Madeleine Urban.
“Enhanced” — Nighthawk and Brimstone are surprisingly charismatic. I expected powerful and brawny with super-charged, genetically enhanced abilities, but I got so much more. I found their individuality and complexity so appealing; Nighthawk is fun-loving and impulsive while Brimstone is brooding and focused, and they are both extremely capable and positively yummy. But their banter and playful jabs demonstrate a warm camaraderie engendered by trust forged over time and previous battles.
The pairing of these two he-men with scientists Ryne and Cary I found inspired. Most couples, who are http://respitecaresa.org/job/generalapplication/makersdate2017-9-23ver6lenskan03actlar02e-y/ viagra samples australia busy in their professional lives, tend to plan out a weekend getaway as their work-week is over to spend some quality time with their partner that help them getting emotionally attached. Short-Term Risks Due to improper acoustic coupling, you may have levitra samples respitecaresa.org skin burn and red patches. Dosage of cheapest levitra http://respitecaresa.org/staff/katrina/When recommending to you levitra or cheapest levitra, the doctor associated with the pharmacy may inform you about the duration of its effect. Working of tadalafil generic cheapest jelly : Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Premature Ejaculation are the commonest of all. Cary and Nighthawk are a flash of passion from their first meeting, while Ryne and Brimstone are slower, more deliberate, but no less explosive. I was amazed and delighted by the intricate weaving of action and intimacy between these two couples as they struggle to defeat super bad guys to save the world.
“Close Encounter” — Tris and Retter’s romance is seemingly doomed from the start, but I melted each time Tris favors Retter with his unselfish compassion. Angelic and vulnerable, my heart went out to Retter as he longs for intimacy he thinks he can never have. The tenderness between them is stirring, and I hoped they could somehow find a happy ending in the chaos.
Rey and Mill’s coming together is as surprising to them as it was to me! Their interactions always professional, I was sure that the love story would include Tris and Retter only, but anger and aggression stemming from life-threatening stress turns to frenzied heat and Mill takes full advantage of the situation, and I was delighted to see them get together. The adventure is so astonishingly suspenseful, it gave me goose bumps as my eyes flew across the page to discover what would happen next.
“Following the Sun” — This one is a little different than the others in that our intrepid space travelers crash-land on a planet amongst a primitive yet friendly tribe. Jack is hurt in the crash and Lan’do, the healer, attends him, and I loved Lan’do’s gentle way with the larger man. I could tell that sparks would fly between them. Samuel’s awed reaction to the fierce warrior, Arl’ban’s radiant smile was my first indication that they would find their way to each other. I was captivated by the way these two couples adapt to one another, and I found the “spacers” initial restraint in showing their desire for the natives admirable, as they didn’t wish to risk offending them. When they do find their way to each other, the passion is just, WOW. The story has an intriguing “Twilight Zone” quality that hooked me at the end, giving the tale an even more riveting conclusion.
The actual sexual encounters are sparse in each of the three novellas, but the author doesn’t skimp on the emotional intimacy, which in my opinion, is the best thing about M/M erotica. Far From Home contains three thrillingly sensual sci-fi quests that shouldn’t be missed.
