I have not read much MM lit, so I found much of this startling. In practice, I mean. Specific kinks, I'd heard about over the years, but never described in a love scene. No real judgement, just off-putting. But, hey, there's such a wiiiide spectrum of what that means that varies from person to person.
The love this father and son shared was so well-written. There's a Brit saying, "Nowt as queer as folk" which simply means: people are people, they're peculiar, you can only shrug, you can't shove them into neat categories. And here, Matt professes to be in love with his father, Carl. Is it a coincidence that they look almost exactly alike? Maybe. Does it help that the son was an adult when he admitted this? Yea. And that the father wept afraid that he would lose his son if he turned him away. And I kinda feel that if the son ever wanted to stop that the dad would have been fine. Bottom line, Carl loved his son and would share that any way his son was comfortable with. Max had a loving, magnetic energy. And his dad would do anything for him. That said, they definitely were in a loving, sexual relationship. And over the years, they'd grown completely comfortable in expressing that.
Entering into their lives is gay journalist, Carter, sent to write a story about this odd pair. Of course, he's freaked out and judgmental. Well, just wait to see what happens. I will say that he's a kinky, little fucker.
I saw this was a BR on a Ménage group and ever curious I had to take a peek. And two hours later I'm crying my eyes out at the Epilogue. Was it perfectly written? No. Was I freaked out that they called each other Dad and Son at times? Um, yea. But, I definitely believed that their love was real and would last forever.
The main thing I take away from this is that I'm totally Team Matt. He is the star around which everything revolves. He's pure, loving, loyal and funny. He's simply magnetic. And if he casts his eyes upon you, you're toast. Really fucking, lucky toast, that is....more

Too short! Such an interesting story idea crammed into just under 60 pages. A group of young carni types traveling the country setting up and breaking down Fear Asylum a haunted house: reputed to be THE scariest one of all. The day to day operations handed down from father to son, Johnny Cairo. He's used to the life and having people come and go, and his best friend's younger brother Brandon is someone he notices but keeps at arm's length until one night when Brandon crawls into his bed.
I'm a newbie dabbler in MM and this was a perfect read for me. The sex was hot. But it could have been hotter, filled with more passion and desperation. The scenes felt a bit rushed. As was the story, unfortunately. There was so much more to explore about this nomadic lifestyle and the roles of the inhabitants, who they were and where they came from. Then there was the running of the haunted house, the break down and set up and the actual scarefest, knowing that fine line between scaring and terrorizing.
I was left thinking maybe this could be expanded into a longer story or maybe even become a romantic series. As for Johnny and Brandon's tale? Well, you'll just have to read this moody, romance for yourself.

A 3:1 ratio is a BIT much, don't ya' think? Still, it wasn't a long book, so I felt compelled to check it out. I mean I sort of HAD to, no? It was my duty to as a Romance reader, if you really think about it. *wink*
Now, as for the book. It was your basic roommate love story, between three guys and a girl, no less. The girl's fantasy is to "make ménage" with them, but she's in love with one in particular. I don't think it spoils the book too much to say that everyone has a good time and I was left feeling a a bit envious. :D...more

Professor/student stories are kinda hot and kinda freak me out. There's a delicate balance. And this one just tipped a bit on the freak out side. I know if I received those stalkerish notes at work I would be jumping out of my skin! They were hardly a turn on. So, this story just didn't do it for me....more

Super short and super sweet M/M tale. Two Brit coworkers, Matt, tanned and fresh-faced from the West Country, and Nick, urban to the bone, are attracted to one another but neither have made any moves, until Matt invites Nick to go camping for a weekend. Any more than that and you won't need to read this.
My star rating isn't a reflection on the story, it's just so short it's hard to rate it on the same scale as a full novel. But I definitely recommend it! It's very sexy and funny....more
