Black Heart Down by S.J. Frost

Title: Black Heart Down (Conquest #5)
Author: S. J. Frost
Publisher: MLR Press
Pages: 300
Characters: Kyler Christenson, Robbie Russo
POV: 3rd person
Setting: Chicago/U.S.
Sub-Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Rating: 4
Kisses: 4.5

Blurb:

For Robbie Russo, only one man has ever owned his heart, Kyler Christenson. The years at each other’s sides never diminished his love for him, but with the rise to fame in their rock band, Black Heart Down, more than a few challenges hindered their relationship. Now, he’s reached a crossroads, either he’ll have all of Kyler, or he’ll walk away from everything they’ve built together.

Kyler may be fearless on stage, but if there’s one thing to send his heart crashing down, it’s losing Robbie. When Robbie delivers his ultimatum, Kyler’s willing to do what it takes for things to work. But change doesn’t happen quickly, and when he makes a terrible mistake, all their history together might not be enough to save their future.

Review:

Those sexy men of rock ‘n roll are back in action, but this time around it’s the men from the group Black Heart Down who take center stage and steal the spotlight in this, the fifth book in S.J. Frost’s Conquest series, a series that began with the introduction of Evan Arden and Jesse Alexander, the über-power couple of the music industry, as Conquest rose to fame and Evan and Jesse rode their bond straight to the altar.

When it comes to success, the group Black Heart Down has always played a secondary role to Conquest, a fact that ignites BHD front man Kyler Christenson’s ire as much as his dislike of Evan does. Band guitarist Robbie Russo’s relationship with Kyler has always been a source of question and curiosity, a push-me/pull-you, do they/don’t they, back-and-forth puzzle over whether the men share more than just a close friendship. Well, their bond is revealed in Black Heart Down, and it is definitely not one without its fair share of complications.

Kyler has done a very good job of cultivating his public image as a bad boy, paparazzi magnet, and it’s that public persona that is the very source of the private conflict between Kyler and Robbie, as their relationship behind closed doors entirely contradicts that which Kyler projects to the world. The two men love each other deeply, and have since high school, but they’ve fallen into a pattern of mistakes and missteps that keep them from being able to truly commit to each other. Kyler is a flirt and a player whose past has left him terrified to acknowledge his sexuality, both to himself and to the world. The consequences of Kyler’s public behavior are complicated by Robbie’s tendency to run away from their problems rather than to stand and face them, leaving a wake of unresolved issues behind. But their habit of breaking up and making up has finally run its course, when Kyler makes one mistake too many, and Robbie turns away from him and their relationship for the final time, leaving both Kyler and Black Heart Down behind.

Going on the road with Conquest, Robbie turns to Jesse, who is reliably there to dispense his sage wisdom and advice on all things related to love, as he and Evan set the standard to which all the other men want to aspire. During his separation from Kyler, Robbie and Kyler each learn some harsh truths about themselves and about their culpability in the failure of their romance. The question is whether or not their love is enough to pull them through, as well as what compromises each is willing to make for the other in order to bring them to a place where they can move forward and put the past to rest.

With her trademark blend of humor and romance, S.J. Frost writes a story that will sneak up on you, sighing and smiling one moment, then suddenly bringing a lump to your throat the next, with the sweet sentimentality of the loving words her characters are always inclined to express. These men are poets and musicians, after all, and they tend to speak and sing from the heart.

These books, in spite of the conflicts within their pages, are always guaranteed to leave a smile on the face of the reader; in the end. Black Hawk Down is no different. And it has lain the foundation for what I’m hoping will be the next book in the series—perhaps one that will find Brad and Remmy doing a little lovin’, touchin’, and squeezin’.

Dead of Night by Victor J. Banis

Title: Dead of Night
Author: Victor J Banis
Publisher: MLR Press
Pages: 217
POV: 3rd person
Sub-Genre: Paranormal/Horror
Book Cover Rating: 4
Kisses: 4

Blurb:

“Doctor,” he said before he said anything else, “I am haunted. By ghosts.”

His parents are brutally murdered in a Manson-like intrusion and Calvin narrowly escapes the same fate. He spends time in an expensive private mental hospital, but when he returns home, he senses the presence of evil in the shadowy old mansion. Someone seems to follow him along the halls, and whispers just beyond his hearing.Gradually the terror escalates. A hand shakes him awake at night, just as it did on that fatal night. Cringing in his bed, he hears his father being murdered all over again, and then his mother. But is the mansion haunted-or is it Calvin?

Review:

Dead of Night is one of those gripping stories, not so much in the scary/horror sense but more on the type that has it’s reader feeling pain for the character that really never had a chance from the start, type. So you know things aren’t going to go well for him because they just can’t.

Calvin was very young when his parents were murdered in their mansion one dark night. He never really recovers from the horrors of that night, and he spent several years in a very secluded very expensive mental hospital to overcome the shock of that night. Being the second son of the wealthy businessman should have come with perks, should have come with a tad bit more freedom, should have come with happiness, but poor Calvin had none of that. His older brother left home as soon as he could due to their father’s distaste for his bed partners. The brother was gay, and Calvin? I’m not so sure, I’m not sure he even knew of his sexuality. The story wasn’t about romance, or sex, though his older brother was gay, that wasn’t the main focus here.

Calvin and his unstable mind is the focus. He’s released from the hospital deamed cured and is met by the cold housekeeper who really gives two shits about the poor kid. She’s as rude as rude can get and I for one, disliked her. His older brother refuses to stay at the mansion, so Calvin is on his own and when night falls, he relives the horrors of that one fateful night of his parents death. Over and over he feels his father’s presence and his mothers bloodcurdling screams, so much so that he finally admits that he’s either losing it again or the mansion has ghosts.

There is no happily ever after, no sex, no romance, but there is a lot of heartfelt pain and as I sit here writing this review, I find myself wondering where Calvin is now.

Cover Art by Caroline Stevens

Title: Cover Art
Author: Caroline Stevens
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Characters: Ryan Michaels, Nick Driscoll
Pages: 36
Setting: Contemporary
Sub-Genre: Romance
POV: 3rd person
Kisses: 3.5

Blurb:

Shy erotic romance writer Ryan Michaels bases all his hero-characters on Nick Driscoll, the model who graces the covers of his books. After meeting Nick in person at a publisher get-together, Ryan is smitten but convinced that Nick would never be interested in him. Fantasy suddenly meets reality when Nick asks Ryan out for coffee. Can Ryan believe something that feels like a scene from one of his books is really happening to him?

Review:

This is a short story with a sexy cover model, a shy nerdy erotic romance writer, and a fantasy that comes to life. Ryan writes erotic romance, he’s shy, he’s a klutz, and he has a crush on the man who does the modeling for the cover of his books. In fact it’s so intense that all of his leading men just happen to be about the man he sees once a month at get togethers. He admires from afar and even tries to hide himself due to his shyness.

Nick is the handsome hot as hell cover model who is also a construction worker, and it just so happens he has a crush on the nerdy writer. So, he takes the chance and asks the man on a date to a nearby coffee shop.

One thing leads to another and they end up at Ryan’s place, and after one passionate kiss, they end up in bed.

The story is mostly sex, lots and lots of it in the short 30 odd pages. It’s done very well, though. Very well. The story didn’t offer a lot of plot, so if you’re looking for a quickie and nothing deep, this is a great read for you.

Fool’s Oath (Fool’s Odyssey #2) by Chris Quinton

Title: Fool’s Oath (Fool’s Odyssey #2)
Author: Chris Quinton
Publisher: Manifold Press
Pages: 180
Characters: Xavi Escudero, Andreas Rousakis
POV: 3rd person
Setting: Barcelona, Spain
Sub-Genre: Paranormal Romance
Cover Rating: 3
Kisses: 5

Blurb:

A rush of over-confidence on Xavi’s part and his friend dies bloodily. Xavi is forced to face the reality of his own nature and the depth of his relationship with Andreas. And then there’s the gold hidden in the walled-up crypt of the church…

Review:

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

Newly made vampire Xavier Escudero learns that lesson the hard way in Chris Quinton’s Fool’s Oath, the terrific sequel to last year’s equally wonderful Fool’s Errand, which introduced readers to Andreas Rousakis, a United States warden, and Xavier, a sometimes hustler and opportunistic Catalan, and an all around bad boy, but in an oh-so-delicious kind of way.

In a rather impulsive decision, Xavi chose to infect himself with the vampire virus, the very virus carried by his lover Andreas; the decision made as Andreas lay wounded and bleeding after a shootout during a murder case in which Xavi himself was deeply involved. Though Xavi’s infecting himself was done purposefully, his transition was not an easy one, made all the more difficult by the silver in Andreas’ blood from the bullet that nearly destroyed him; nor is Xavi’s adjustment to his newfound powers and hungers without its share of problems. As Xavi comes to find out, his vampire nature cannot be met with the arrogance, impulsivity, and over-confidence with which he’s used to leading his life.

The powerful and enigmatic Andreas is being used in a political game of ownership over his loyalties, and the US government has no qualms over attempting to use Xavi to bait the trap that would lure Andreas away from Spain, but the vampire is far too savvy a player to fall for anything so overt. Leaving Xavi behind, Andreas is forced to return to the US, with little more to hold on to than Xavi’s word that he will not place himself in temptation’s way while Andreas is gone.

Xavi’s oaths, however, hold a certain amount of flexibility in the man’s mind. When a reckless decision, an act of greed and lust for gold, tests him to the very limits of his strength, Andreas isn’t there to rescue him, and it takes every ounce of willpower Xavi possesses to fight the bloodlust that would demand his immediate destruction.

Fool’s Oath is Xavi’s story, entirely. Though Andreas is and will always be the force to be reckoned with, especially in Xavi’s life, Xavi owns this installment in the series, as the reader is treated to those glimpses behind the walls that he protects himself within—his egotism, his aggressive sensuality and narcissism, and his hair-trigger temperament, in which he hides his true feelings—they all seem to crumble under the weight of Andreas’ control and command over the man who would adamantly refuse to submit to any other. Xavi’s natural inclination toward self-preservation, learned as a street rat, is overshadowed by his love and physical need for Andreas. Theirs is a complex relationship, bound by blood, a relationship that is built upon control and the need to be controlled, of belonging to each other in a very feral way, a way that promises to be consummated in the future—the very near future, I hope.

Chris Quinton’s writing is spare, yet gives the reader exactly enough detail and description to allow for the building of a relationship with these characters and to become lost in the landscapes of a world set in the not-so-distant future.

One thing is certain: I’m a fool for the Fool’s Odyssey series.

Gotta Love Those Bad Boys

What is it about a bad boy?
Michele L Montgomery

There’s just something about a bad boy that sets something off inside me that I can’t explain in a few words. I’m not talking about “bad boys” who commit crimes such as murder, theft, rape, and the like. I’m talking about Bad Boys who can make you lose all thought, that can make you week kneed and breathless with just a look. The sort who use their voice to command the simplest of requests or the most demanding ones—they get me every time. The one’s who push the limits and don’t follow the norm as described by the general public of today’s society or that of yesterday’s. The one’s who dare you to tell them they are bad.

He can be that bad boy lawyer who comes within inches of over stepping the legal lines to prove his client innocent or guilty. He can be that bad boy doctor who refuses to settle on a diagnosis because it “seems” to fit his patient’s aliments and he has a full slate and a full social life. He can even be the taxi driver who pushes his luck to get his client to their destination without getting tickets on the way. Or, he can be the Dom in a relationship and this is where I’ll drive this particular short.

To me a Dom in a relationship is the “Bad Boy,” who pushes the limits on his partner. Never an easy person to read by any means. He’ll play on the edge with your emotions, your physical and sometimes mental limits. A bad boy who takes pleasure from your discomfort and sometimes pain. It fills his needs as well as your own. Why is it so fascinating to me that simple commands from a well-rounded Dom makes me quiver? Is it his eyes? The way he uses his voice? The way he expects obedience without question? What is it about that bad boy that just makes me pause and catch my breath? Honestly, if the guy says: “Drop your pants…(he is holding a flogger of some sort in his hand and gently hitting his thigh with it, warning you of what’s coming) face the wall and get on your knees…” My own excitement level goes UP. There have been times I’ve had to place the book down to catch my breath.

Now, none of that placing the book down catch the breath happens when I read a contemporary novel that is on the bestseller list in the New York Times. Nope, it only happens when I grab up a hot M/M book with a strong Alpha male and a sweet non-alpha male. Picture a Dom Vampire, with a submissive human. Talk about Bad Boy! Or, take two hot Vampires, both Dom’s trying to make their love work, something like, Mychael Black’s “Dark Needs.”

Or let’s switch over to a Het story and think Johanna Lindsey and her Alpha bad boys. For years I glued my eyes to her books, falling for all of her “bad boys,” the ones who kidnapped the women who would eventually fall in love with them. I loved the part of the kidnappings, the seduction of the “innocent” virgin, but quickly grew bored with the innocent and the damsel in distress plot. I needed more; I needed something else and didn’t find it until I switched over to the MM Genre. And boy-oh-boy did I find treasures. I believe I spent a small fortune buying the stories up.

When I stepped into the M/M world first as a writer, then stepping it up to become a reviewer as well, I could not get enough of the BDSM titles read fast enough. It is well known it’s what I read/ review for the site and if we receive a request for a review I take them like a tiny goblin in the night and savor them until I am able to get to them. I like my bad boys on the darker side of life, same as I write. It’s not to say I don’t enjoy a sweet love story by any means, but if we have a bad boy linked in it, you can bet I’m loving him a tiny bit more.

There’s a mystery behind the bad boy’s eyes, be they black, blue, gray, purple, or green, there’s just something that you can’t read about them no matter how hard you look. You hear or read the words of command and for a moment you can get lost in that because in “real” life you’re nothing like the characters. Maybe in real life you’re the stronger one in your relationship and just for a little while you can get lost in the world of fiction bad boys. They’re safe to admire from there. In real life I could not give up control the way the characters do so well in fiction stories to the bad boys. It’s nice to dream though.

I love the mystery, allure, and the complexity of a bad boy. Someone who takes the initiative to show his partner another way of life without breaking the law and ending up in jail. Someone who can comfortably take control not only for himself but also for his partner with complete surety in his actions. Someone who can love with his whole being and still be that bad boy.

In BDSM stories, the limits are always pushed and to me a Bad Boy does just that: pushes the limits.

Between Sinners and Saints by Marie Sexton

Title: Between Sinners and Saints
Author: Marie Sexton
Publisher: Amber Allure Press
Pages: 276
Characters: Levi Binder, Jaime Marshall
POV: 3rd person
Setting: Miami/Georgetown, SC
Sub-Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Rating: 4
Kisses: 5

Blurb:

Levi Binder is a Miami bartender who cares about only two things: sex and surfing. Ostracized by his Mormon family for his homosexuality, Levi is determined to live his life his own way, but everything changes when he meets massage therapist Jaime Marshall.

Jaime is used to being alone. Haunted by the horrors of his past, his only friend is his faithful dog, Dolly. He has no idea how to handle somebody as gorgeous and vibrant as Levi.

Complete opposites on the surface, Levi and Jaime both long for something that they can only find together. Through love and the therapeutic power of touch, they’ll find a way to heal each other, and they’ll learn to live as sinners in a family of saints.

Review:

Is there anything quite as divisive and at the same time as unifying as religion? Maybe politics. But it’s not politics that provide for the conflict between Levi Binder and his family in Marie Sexton’s Between Sinners and Saints. Rather, it’s the religious directives of the Binders’ faith that have both divided and united Levi’s family, a difference of ideals that has threatened to isolate him from them—possibly for all eternity.

Love is supposed to be unconditional: Patient and kind, it is not arrogant, nor does it act unbecomingly. Love rejoices in the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. But sometimes it doesn’t work that way. It’s only in the hands of we mortal beings that love can be used to manipulate and to judge, even though our hearts may be in the right place while we’re doing it.

Though they love Levi immensely and have only the best of intentions for him and his immortal soul, it’s the Binder family’s inability to love him unconditionally that proves to be their undoing. The more the Binder’s push Levi to give up his homosexual lifestyle, the more Levi pushes back, working at a gay bar while night after night, he makes anonymous hook-ups in the back room, knowing those are the very things he can use to hurt them as much as they’ve hurt him by not accepting him for who he is. The more they try to gather him back into the family fold, asking him to repent and deny his sexuality, the more they push him away in a repetitive cycle of anger and pain.

But where love has the power to hurt, it also has the power to heal. It has the power to heal even those who didn’t know they needed healing to begin with. It has the power to heal those who are broken by the lasting damage of a past that has left its share of visible and invisible scars. But while Jaime Marshall may be broken, he is not damaged beyond all hope.

A nagging muscle injury leaves Levi in need of a massage therapist, which places him directly into the very capable and elusive hands of Jaime Marshall, a man whose fear and anxiety manifests itself in regimented behaviors and his inability to tolerate being touched. How does a man who cannot stand to be touched by anyone, ever, endure touching others for a living? Control—something that had been stolen from him as a child, something that eludes him in his nightmares. It’s his unconquerable and often overwhelming fear that threatens to steal his control on a daily basis. And it’s that fear that creates an irrevocable bond between the two men, as Levi fulfills a need in Jaime, the way Jaime fulfills a need in Levi; the need to connect and to belong to someone else. Jaime’s pain and fear become Levi’s pain and fear, a burden he willingly accepts in an effort to ease Jaime’s affliction.

Trust, friendship, family—those are all things Jaime has been lacking in his life, the very things he wants and needs, the very things Levi can provide for him, but first Levi must prove himself to be trustworthy. It’s a long and arduous journey, as the two men travel together through the building of a friendship that will cement a lifelong bond. Through the power of touch, something that Jaime has only been able to give but never to accept, Levi gives Jaime a safe place to fall, gives him a family, and gives him unconditional support and love.

Faith and love cannot remain at odds if a family is to survive. It’s a hard-fought conflict for the Binder’s, and one that love, with all its influence, overcomes in the end.

Between Sinners and Saints is, simply put, a brilliant and beautiful story of recovery and redemption. It’s a story that explores the eternal conflict between spiritual beliefs and the temptations and trials of the secular world, without ever crossing the line into sermonizing.

How can love between two consenting adults, the sort of love that is entirely pure and unselfish, patient and kind, possibly be considered sinful? It’s a theme that is conveyed through a group of characters who are each genuinely portrayed with real personalities and emotions.

It is a question that shouldn’t need to be addressed at all. But if it’s going to be, it should always be addressed this well.

Marie Sexton Serves Us A Little Cheesetastic, With A Side Of Craptacular. Oh, And She Has A New Book Release Too!

One of the greatest things about writing is learning about my characters, because they rarely go the direction I intend. My latest release, Between Sinners and Saints, is a perfect example. When I started this book, I had in my head that my shy massage therapist Jaime Marshall was a bookworm, but I wasn’t very far into the story before I realized it simply didn’t fit. Jaime is haunted by events of his childhood. He struggles each day to stay just one step ahead of the fears and nightmares that plague him. I couldn’t see him wanting to curl up with any book that might bring those terrors closer rather than helping keep them at bay. When, early in Between Sinners and Saints, he woke in the night, gasping for breath, trying to get away from the memories in his head, he didn’t retreat into a book as I had planned. Instead, he padded downstairs with his dog Dolly at his heels. He turned on the TV. And he watched….

Something.

But what? What exactly would Jaime want to watch? I had to know, because somehow, that information was a key to who he was. What would he choose?

Something not too sappy. Something not too deep. Something that would keep his attention enough to distract him, and yet allow him to fall back asleep too. After a little bit of thought, I realized he’d watch the one thing guaranteed to be on at any hour of the night: a low-budget monster movie on SyFy, where the horror is too absurd to be scary, and the acting too bad to warrant tears.

SyFy has managed to build a name and a reputation for themselves, not to mention a surprising amount of success, on these monster monstrosities. They’ve carved themselves a pop-culture niche with such new classics as Mansquito, Mega-Python vs. Gatoroid, and Mongolian Death Worm. These movies are low on plot and high on imagination. They’re made on budgets of about $30 a piece and apparently filmed on some guy’s iPhone. There’s always a scientist, usually female, in her mid-thirties (she lives), and a slew of young bimbos in bikinis (they don’t). There’s usually a stud-muffin who can’t seem to button his shirt higher than his navel, and a leering bad guy who nobody suspects, despite his evil laugh. The movies are silly. They are predictable. They are gleefully, unapologetically craptastic.

I kind of love them.

Now, I confess, I watch these movies often, yet I don’t ever watch them attentively. After all, I don’t have to. That’s the beauty of them! I can jump in at any time without worrying about having missed a crucial plot point. I can leave the room and come back, and maybe I missed a scantily-clad coed suffering a spectacularly low-budget death, but there’s always another coed lined up to take her place, so it’s okay! I don’t need to see the end, because I know the monster dies and the brainy-but-hot female scientist falls for the can’t-button-my-shirt-up stud-muffin. I’ve turned on Snakehead Terror at least twenty times over the past year, and I don’t actually remember a single second of it. And yet, if it were on again right now, I’d turn it on. I really would.

Wait a minute…

Holy shit! Look at that! It is on!!

Of course, I shouldn’t be surprised. That is, after all, the secret of SyFy’s success: there’s nearly ALWAYS some freak-fest movie to watch. Any day of the week, any time of the day, just turn on SyFy and you’ll be greeted by cheesetastic masterpieces like Caved In: Prehistoric Terror, and Bats: Human Harvest. SyFy movies are more reliable than either UPS or the USPS. They’re like the slippers next to your bed, except without the dog drool. (Okay. I lied. There might be dog drool in Hellhounds.)

So next time you’re flipping through the channels, trying to decide how to kill some time, think about Jaime Marshall in Between Sinners and Saints, and check out SyFy. Keep your mind open and your expectations low. Pour yourself some wine – this is cheese we’re talking about, after all, and it always goes better with wine. (I recommend white over red in this case, because when you burst out laughing and inadvertently spit it across the room, it’s far less likely to stain.) Kick off your shoes. Sit back and relax. Prepare to be blown away by the sheer, unabashed absurdity that only SyFy can deliver. Because seriously, have you ever seen anything as cool as a giant shark jumping out of the ocean to take down a jumbo jet?

I didn’t think so.

For the full cheesetastic glory of SyFy, check out this clip from Mega-Shark vs. Giant Octopus
