(Bad fanfic in book form)

(Delicious and Funny)

(Getting Caught)

(Caught Running)

(High school Daze ~)

I really expected to like this book, but the writing was suprisingly amateurish considering all the rave reviews. It was like reading badfic, especially when the authors referred to the main characters by descriptors other than then their names or a pronoun. For example, on page 43: "The science teacher leaned on the third baseline fence next to Jonathan as the younger man mused over the reasoning..." At this point, it's long established that a)the character's name is Brandon and b)that he is a science teacher. It's so jarring and unnecessary to refer to him as such, and this is usually something you rarely see in a real book. For good reason!

Also, the character POV can change from paragraph to paragraph, and in this case it's quite clunky and confusing. The plot sounded fun, but I couldn't get past the poor writing style and had to give up midway. Glad I got this book from the library and didn't pay for it!
I love the witty banter between Jake and Brandon. There were a couple times I laughed right out loud. And there are really great sweet and steamy scenes too! I really enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it!
Roux, Abigail and Madeleine Urban. "Caught Running", Dreamspinner Press, 2007.

Getting Caught

Amos Lassen

Jake Campbell is the definition of the word "jock" He and Brandon Bartlett are teaching at their old high school ten years after they graduated. They live in separate worlds. Brandon, something of a nerd, is thrown into a coaching job on Jake's baseball team and they find themselves seeing a great deal of each other. Since high school is all about image, the two men have to put aside their differences and become friends. They also discover something much deeper.
The two guys are appealing characters. They have known each other since they went to high school together but they paid each other no attention. Brandon is both a biology teacher and a trained physical therapist and he comes out of his nerd phase. Jake has compassion and he loves his job and is a great teacher and coach. Both men are surprised at how well Brandon coaches and the two become friends and eventually desire each other sexually. The two opposites get alone wonderfully.
The first half of the book deals with the guys getting to know each other better and testing their love for each other. Neither of the guts knew that the other was gay and when they discover this, sparks fly.
There is a great deal of hot sexual chemistry here but it does not happen right away. There is a progression through friendship to love. When the sex does happen, it is very "hot". There is a beautiful passion there.
The story itself is simple. It is simply about two nice guys that fall in love and come to terms as to who they are. It is first of all a romantic story and secondly it is erotica. Everything about the boo is just right.

Jake and Brandon knew of each other in high school, but they weren't friends and they weren't enemies either. After graduation their lives went in different directions. Ten years later, the popular jock Jake Campbell and the school nerd Brandon Bartlett are all grown up and teaching at their old high school. Their interaction with one another although friendly is still limited, Brandon now the science teacher and tutor, Jake the physical education teacher, football and baseball coach still staying within their certain circles of jocks and nerds. Due to a staff shortage, Brandon finds himself invading Jake's world and soon the two men find there are a lot of things the two of them have in common, beginning with the strong attraction they feel for one another.

Jake and Brandon's relationship in Caught Running was fantastic to read about as they went from acquaintances to friends to lovers. These two very strong men in body and in mind held a relationship that was on equal ground, and very respectful and loving. As much as I enjoyed this story and highly recommend it, I do have some faults with it. There were a few technical issues such as statements made and innuendos that were never followed up on that left me wondering why they were referred to or mention in the first place. I find when there are more than one author writing a story the consistency of the story sometimes suffer due to the different visions and direction of the authors. I also have to point out the continuous use of referring to Brandon as `the science teacher' became distracting after a while. These issues are very minor compared to the story as a whole. Caught Running is fantastic, falling in love with Jake and Brandon was so easy. These guys definitely deserve a sequel, they really want one too they told me.

I haven't read anything else from these authors to compare it to but I had a hard time sympathizing with the characters. Style of writing makes it difficult to get into for any length of period.
Ten years after graduation, Jake "the jock" Campbell and Brandon "the nerd" Bartlett are teaching at their old high school and still living in separate worlds. When Brandon is thrown into a coaching job on Jake's baseball team, they find themselves learning more about each other than they'd ever expected. High school is all about image - even for the teachers. Brandon and Jake have to get past their preconceived notions to find the friendship needed to work together.

(Follow up to 'Strings Attached')

(Double Bound by Nick Nolan)

(This Book Kept Me Up All Night)

(Don't miss this great read!)

(Brilliant Piece of Work!)

This is the follow-up novel to 'Strings Attached, Nick Nolan's debut, which I picked up as a holiday read just over 12 months ago and must say thoroughly enjoyed. So I was eager to read the sequel and find out what happened to all his wonderful characters. Unfortunately, therein lies the disappointment.

Nolan has taken the same group of characters from 'Strings Attached' and turned them on their heads - in fact, the central characters of Jeremy and Arthur are practically unrecognisable from the first novel - Jermey is now a super-confident gay youth and whiney, and Arthur - the ultra dignified demi-hero from before - is now faltering and insecure. Carlos (the boyfriend) is relegated to a minor role and Katherine has become 'Alexis' - mistakenly evil but honest.

The plot takes the leads to a far away island where ritual murder and underground dungeons are everywhere. The love story between Jeremy and Carlos which was so beautifully told and developed in the first novel is thrown out the window in favour of a new (completely unrealistic) love affair between Arthur&Jeremy.

The characters are so underdevelopment and described that I, without having read 'Strings Attached', would not have been able to clearly picture any of them so this book cannot be read as a stand-alone.

However, for a gay themed novel there was quite a bit of action (gay characters becoming all 'rough&tumble') and there was some amusing dialogue and funny lines which made me chuckle so I've rated this book higher than I probably should have.

I felt let down that nothing - nothing! - carried over from the first novel and Jeremy's progression from neglected teen to confident man wasn't developed but instead substituted for a tacky new romance.

Apparently there will be a third novel in the series to round-out the characters and tidy things up - I only hope that Nolan goes back and looks again at why 'Strings Attached' was so great and glosses over the unfortunate events&story from 'Double Bound'.
First of all, I'd like to point out that this book is a very easy read, meaning that the story flows smoothly and it maintains always an high pace. The first chapters are also very time consuming, trying to summarize 20 years of Arthur's life in few time. Arthur's past life is not the main focus of the book, but it shaped the man who he is now, and so it's essential to identify the character. Those first chapters allows also a first time reader to take in hand Double Bound without necessarily having read Strings Attached, like me, but then, at the end of the book, you will probably have the wish to read it, like me, since while this is the story of arthur, the other one is the story of Jeremy, the eighteen years old boy who plays an important role in Double Bound. And it would be probably interesting to see how the author manages a coming of age story, while Double Bond is almost a silver romance: Strings Attached was Nick Nolan first book, and it was a coming of age book... maybe the author grows with his writing? Or maybe it's only that Arthur was so compelling in Strings Attached that the author felt the need to give him his own story?

More than the story itself, that you can have summarized from the blurb, and that I would prefer not to develop more, I would like instead to talk about Arthur; the story has a lot of turn of events, and this contributes to the high pace said above. Enough to say that after all the high and down, Arthur's long and bumping life journey will end with him happy in bed with his lover, and I'm not spoiling anything, since the book starts like that, with Arthur satisfied in bed who goes down the memory lane.

Even if Arthur is a former marine, a former FBI agent and now a well-paid dogsbody who essentially has to protect Jeremy, he is not the hero type. All Arthur's grandeur gestures were made out of love or friendship, he has not a sacred fire inside for honor or patriotism. Arthur is a man who loves, and loved, too much, who can think to end his live when he is down, but that in the end never brings on the thought since he is able to love again. He loved Jeremy's father, Jonathan, and due to his betrayal he joined the Marine Corp; Arthur hoped to find in the Marine the family he hadn't and the comfort of being loved that he had with Jonathan. He did well and he opened his heart again, to Danny. But Danny died, that fathal September 11, and Arthur threw away his soldier life to commemorate Danny's love. And now Arthur is ready to love again, but at this point, it is real love, or only the memory of a lost love? or maybe the wish to finally have that family that he always searched and never found? In a case or the other, it's the proof that Arthur is able to love, and that despite all the time he was burned, he is always ready to love again.

Another thing I noticed in the story plot is that, despite being adventurous and fast paced, every events end in a "normal" way; there are not acts out of heroism, most of the time the decisive man is the one you will not expect, and even in the big action of the evil there is almost always a very small reason; and in the end, the novel closes with hope, and in a romantic way (remember Arthur in bed with his lover), but still in a very "pragmatic" way.
Having read " Strings Attached" I decided to Google Nick Nolan one day and discovered "Double Bound" I read the amazing first chapter on line then eagerly awaited receiving my copy.

I didn't realize it at first, but because I had read "Strings Attached"
these characters had become like old friends to me and I was reluctant
to travel on this dangerous journey with them. I feared for them. Wow
characters so real that I feared for them.

Nolan's glorious discriptions of characters and locations have the ability
to make the real world slip away, and put the reader right there with them. Glamour, adventure, hot sex ,intrigue its all there and more.

What I loved most of all, is that the main characters are not stereo-typical, especally Arthur who is almost heartbreakingly self-aware. I loved how he shows that childhood pain can be converted into greater love understanding and acceptance of others.
Having experienced the great pleasure of reading Nolan's first book, "Strings Attached", I eagerly anticipated "Double Bound". In this second offering, Nolan greatly exceeded my expectations and delivered a superb story that is even more lively and complex. It is delightful to see how quickly he has matured into a truly masterful storyteller. Expect to be captivated from the start, taken on a wild ride, and left at the end with a strong sense of satisfaction and much to ponder.
Don't think twice about selecting this book for your next read. I assure you, you will not be disappointed!

I eagerly awaited the return of Jeremy, Carlo and Arthur the day I finished Strings Attached; however, I never expected Nick Nolan to create such a captivating love story with twists behind every page. I read Double Bound over a two day period as I laid by the pool imagining I was in Brazil with Nolan's picturesque depictions of the sandy, white beaches, surrounded by those beautiful men. Even though my skin was getting baked in the sun, I could not put the book down due to Nolan's ability to leave you in suspense at the end of each chapter. I had to keep turning the page to see what was going to happen. I found myself gaining more excitement as I got deeper into the story and hoping the love would develop between the forbidden pair, yet the sorrow I felt for the man left behind. Although labeled as a "gay fiction", I felt myself, a female committed in a heterosexual relationship, able to connect with the characters and to understand what each was feeling, due to Nolan's brilliant writing. I am beginning to think Nolan is a straight woman trapped in a gay man's body.

Double Bound not only fulfills the adventurous side of us all, but also the longing we have for that passionate love story usually only found in the movies. I cannot wait for the day to watch this novel come to life on the big screen.
Named 2008 'Book of the Year' by both ForeWord Magazine and ReaderViews, this adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk is a modern tale of passion, deception, and danger: Because of Katharine Tyler's investment in a Brazilian island resort, she sends her handsome young nephew Jeremy with his lover Carlo to assess its progress. And though hunky ex-Marine Arthur Blauefee serves as their bodyguard, the trio strives against a charming trickster, sensual temptation, a kidnapping, and an unexpected double-cross, where Aunt Katharine plays puppet-master before getting tangled in her own strings. Although DOUBLE BOUND features the central characters from 2006 Book of the Year winner STRINGS ATTACHED, this is Arthur's story: his heartbreaking youth, his precarious days as a gay US Marine, then his treacherous--and deliciously fulfilling--journey to Brazil, where he is challenged to heroism, while agonizing between his conscience, and his blistering desire for the one man he's forbidden to love.

(Very Interesting.)

(The Best Textbook I've Ever Read)

(A wonderful introduction to U.S. Women's History)

(A Biased Book)

I needed this book for a class I'm taking. However, it is still an interesting read. You almost forget sometimes the struggles that women have faced through out history.
I originally purchased this book for a college course; now it sits on my bookshelf, never to be resold. I rarely have enjoyed reading for my classes, but this book not only captures the heart of the female struggles throughout history--it gives examples of the women who lived them.

This book presents the reader with an in-depth analysis of women's traditional roles and their active fight for change while explaining the conditions that determined the feminine experience in different historical periods. But the best benefit of the book was actually learning, and realizing, that the world that my generation (the 20 somethings) was born into is radically different from that of females 50, 40, 30, 20, and even 10 years before us. I realize now that many freedoms I take for granted should be cherished, and more freedoms should be fought for.
I have used various editions of this book for the past four years in teaching a women's history course at a college-preparatory, single-sex independent high school. I have found this to be an incredibly complete anthology and the new edition is even better than the previous ones. My only complaint about the new edition is that the editors -- both renowned historians in the field -- on a few occasions shortened the articles to the point that the context needed to understand them was missing. However, because of the brevity of the articles, it is the perfect anthology for an introductory course.
Rationale for the three star rating: I would give this book a "one." However, I think that women's history buffs would give it a "four" or "five". I read this for a class, and found it dull and very biased (I AM female, in fact, I used to attend a women's college. I am PRO women and their acheivements. However...) Though i don't think it was the intent of the book, I grew to dislike government programs and all this "rah rah" jazz women have done in the last century which often accomplished little. I want to know when people are going to start taking responsibility for their own lives instead of expecting society to change or be chaged for them- in their lifetimes, no less. Many movements were admirable, thank goodness we have the vote today! But every article seems to have a very biased attitude (to the liberal persuasion) and I personally would like to see a more neutral tone. BUT I realize that this is not a concern of many people who read women's history and have a great interest in these articles that are, by nature, slanted one way. This is a good text for those looking to confirm their owm points of view. I PERSONALLY would like to see a more well-rounded approach. But find out for yourselves!
Featuring a mix of primary source documents, articles, and illustrations, Women's America: Refocusing the Past has long been an invaluable resource. Now in its sixth edition, the book has been extensively revised and updated to cover recent events in American women's history. It provides many new selections from leading theorists and historians and restores several readings that were cut from the fifth edition. Successfully classroom-tested, these new essays offer more material on the impact of ethnicity in American culture, the roles that women have played in the creation of male-dominated structures, and the international dimensions of women's lives. The book covers such diverse groups as Christian Indian women in colonial America, African-American women in post-Civil War Atlanta, young Jewish labor organizers in turn-of-the-century New York, new arrivals to San Francisco's Chinatown, Japanese-American women during World War II, and Chicana feminists. The introductory essay has been revised and the bibliography has been updated to take into account the growing body of contemporary literature in the field. Women's America is an essential text for courses in women's history and an ideal supplement for more general survey courses on American history.

Edited by best-selling author Tristan Taormino and selected and introduced by the noted author, playwright, and poet Joan Larkin, this latest edition of America’s most popular lesbian erotica series is smart, sensual, inventive, and breathtaking. From threesomes to gender-bending to shedding one's wholesome image to indulge in more visceral pursuits, the women in these stories reveal all their pleasures in memorable tales that are both sexy and lyrical.

(Great Book)

(No sweet coating)

(Wonderful Insight!!)

(If you want to ignore all the sociological data...)

(Objective, informative, and enlightening.)

This is a great book. It gives a ton of great knowledge and insight. It has questions and answers that can apply to just about anybody.
I found the book honest, direct and respectful of the reader who really just wants the facts from someone who knows what he's talking about, and actually walks the talk. I enjoyed the practical suggestions to family members, based on what he and his family went through.
Mike has the ability to answer questions about this social topic with frankness and clear understanding not only from his point of view from being in that lifestyle, but also from the point of view biblically.
While no one has yet proven where homosexuality comes from (just as no one has proven where heterosexuality comes from) the normal approach for a reference book such as this would be to study the facts and data and THEN form an opinion as did the American Psychological Association when they declassified homosexuality as a disorder back in the 1970's. This is one of those books that is based around a particular conservative religious view and then plays with all the facts in order to prove the authors thesis.

Homosexuality is and always will be a minority orientation but (like being left handed) that doesn't make it in and of itself wrong. This book is motivated by the so called ex-gay movement where men are supposedly "cured" of their nasty little habit by the grace of god. The fact that most relapse back into a gay lifestyle appears to be no matter to the ideologically minded authors of books like this. And neither does the fact that many of these men are nominally bisexuals and simply repress the gay side of their identity in order to be acceptable to themselves (something that most psychologists will accept as an option for some men). On the other hand NO psychologist out there worth his or her salt will sanction this sort of belief that the millions of gay/bisexual people in the world are some sort of cosmic mistake in need of change. Nope.

The book Is it a Choice? Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Gay Men and Lesbians by Eric Marcus was published back in the 1980's and has been available in updated editions ever since, including a Spanish language translation titled¿Se elige? 300 Preguntas y respuestas sobre la homosexualidad. That book is based on facts and does address religious aspects of this issue in an evenhanded way. The fact is that every major religious group with the exception of Islam has significant gay-positive material out there. Love is loveand a gift from god not to be tampered with by sanctimonious, small minded fundamentalists.
I am deeply concerned about this issue, but though I feel strongly about my beliefs, I myself have never struggled with these tendencies; and though I will always condemn the action, I cannot fairly judge those who struggle. I accept the Bible, but I have only recently begun studying it, and I haven't gotten to the "gay" part yet; my belief about homosexual behavior stems from natural law, and is supported and reaffirmed by my Catholic faith.

What Haley's book did for me (well, doing; I haven't finished it yet) is give me informed answers from someone who actually knows what he's talking about. He addresses so many of the questions I have had, and I feel more equiped to approach the issue with more compassion, and appreciation, for those who struggle with homosexual tendencies. Although the Catholic Church itself understands that homosexual tendencies are not always (if ever) the fault of the individual, many members of the Church have yet to be educated, and as a result they often approach the issue with cruelty. Even if you don't agree with Haley's book, he gives those on our side the tools to approach the issue with compassion and understanding, and teaches us that cruelty is never effective, much less Christian behavior.

Moreover, the book, like my views, is a combination of natural law and the Bible, so it is effective even to those who do not accept Christianity.

Another very interesting comment he makes is in regard to the defeminization of women in our society (I highly recommend Wendy Shalit's book "Return to Modesty;" it changed my life). There was a time when I was subconsciously conflicted about the naturalness of sex; the Church teaches us that sex is natural, but society takes that a step further, saying that because it is natural we should give into it more frequently. After reading Shalit's book, I realized that I felt conflicted, not because my faith was constricting my sexuality, but because I was, subconsciously, giving into the modern idea, and that was causing an internal conflict because of its unnaturalness. Haley's reaffirmation of this idea impressed me, and further clarified the reason why a child might develop homosexual tendencies. I truly believe that this defeminization of women has caused the gentleman to all but disapear, respect for the weaknesses and strengths of the opposite sex to diminish, and we are looked down upon for having womanly (and manly) strengths; in an effort to provide an identity for all, our society has taken our identity away from us.

My only critique of this book (and I may change my mind on this after further reading) was his comment regarding how boys are different because they like to play in the dirt, whereas girls don't. Actually, I was constantly dirty as a child.:) However, what he is ultimately getting at is correct, in that, boys and girls are different.

To the individual who addressed concern regarding his advice to "pray that he feels pain," or something to that effect. No one wants to inflict pain on their child, which is why some parents do not address the issue at all. However, pain is part of healing in everyday life. One of the horrors of cancer is that pain is often not felt until it is too late. Parents of children who are born without pain receptors pray for their children to one day feel pain. The liberation of honesty can mute pain for a while, but only temporarily. Having a place where you are accepted, regardless of your behavior, also makes it difficult to face your pain; this is true in all cases, for all types of struggles.

I was pleasently suprised by the usefullness of this book. If you disagree with his beliefs, at least be mindful that he is helping us be more understanding and compassionate in an age of hate.

101 Probing Questions...101 Compassionate and Scriptural Answers

fromFocus on the Family’s Mike Haley

Almost daily we hear news reports that confirm the acceptance of homosexuality in our culture. Homosexuals are adopting children, appearing as characters on television programs, taking vacations catering to an exclusively gay clientele, and even seeking the right to “marry” their partners. But is this acceptance healthy for society?

Few topics can raise so many questions so quickly. And for many readers, those questions hit close to home as they learn of the homosexuality of a loved one or close friend.

Here are the answers to the most often asked questions about homosexuality, fielded by an expert on the subject...and a former homosexual himself.

Revenge

Amos Lassen

Leon Fisher is a trained assassin and as such he has learned to be able to control his emotions. This was not true of his last job--to find who tortured and murder his lover. He was out for revenge but he soon learned that revenge does not always heal a broken heart. He finds the bottle to be a better way to forget the man he loved. However, the more he drank the deeper he fell and he was losing his hold on reality. The organization he worked for felt that it should step in and take care of Leon and they sent him to recuperate in Alaska. While there, Leon met Grim and the two were swept up by sexual attraction. When Leon was in a serious position, Grim took him back to his cabin in the wood so that he could nurse him back to health. The more time the two men spent together, the stronger the attraction between them became. The two each have secrets that they have not told the other about but their need for each other is so great that they had not yet discussed them.
Grim is young, 20 and he reacts strangely. He had met his former lover when he was only 14 and moved to Alaska with him, Like Leon, he is a lost soul and both men's minds are somewhat damaged--they need each other badly.
There is romance in the novel but it is not the kind we usually get. Leon and Grim are similar in that they both suffer from the loss of a loved one. The two are equal to a degree except that Grim is unlike any man that Leon has ever met. He is totally submissive and shy and he appears as if there has been some major upset in his life. He is also physically strong. At first he seems to be uncommunicative but as time progressed he spoke a bit about his life and his own physical and sexual abuse. This is what gave Leon the idea that he wanted to take care of him plus Leon found himself falling in love.
Ally Blue can tell a story and she is able to build realistic characters. The two men in this story seem to be beyond redemption--one an assassin and the other badly bruised seemingly beyond repair. They still manage to rise above their places in life and fall in love. The two men are emotionally moving characters and as we get to know them we find ourselves also falling in love.

After finishing the first few chapters, I wasn't sure I was going to like this book at all. Tortured murder, a hit-style murder, super-secret government agencies - just not my choice of lit. But from the moment Grim is introduced, I was hooked, and the story just kept getting better and better. And I think the final sex scene was one of the hottest ones Ally Blue's written.

Only little thing that bugged me was that after all that Leon and Grim went through together, and with Leon constantly working to raise Grim's self-esteem by telling him to speak up for what he wants, that they would end up living together for a year before tough-guy Leon works up the nerve to say "I love you."
Leon Fisher is an assassin and this was the one kill that his employers hadn't ordered; this was his revenge against the murderer who had brutally butchered his lover, Ted. However, killing the man responsible for Ted's violent death does not ease his pain and anger, instead it leaves him empty and sends him on a downward spiral into alcoholism and depression. His employer gives him an ultimatum: go to their mountain retreat in Alaska or be terminated. He has no choice but to agree.

When he arrives at the retreat it is like a 5 star hotel with great food, staff and most leisure activities he could possibly want but he looks longingly at the forests rather than sample the indoor entertainment. Then one day he decides to explore, with disastrous results. He is attacked by a bear and almost dies before being rescued by a strange young man, Grim. After tending to his injuries Grim takes him to his cabin in the woods which is no more than a one room shack, where he recuperates and gets to know his rescuer.

Grim is totally unexpected and unlike anyone in Leon's experience. He is painfully submissive, shy to an astonishing degree and it was obvious that he had suffered some sort of trauma in the past but he wasn't talking. He is rail thin, fragile and it seems as if a strong wind could blow him over. On the other hand, he is extraordinarily strong physically having lived out in Tongass National Forest in the Alaskan woods for years, practically fending for himself.

Although Grim was uncommunicative at first, gradually Leon was able to glean snippets of his story which gave him a brief glimpse of his life of physical and sexual abuse and made him realize how much he wanted to take care of him. He was also falling in love. But they don't have too much time with each other before their pasts catch up to them and there is nowhere to hide. Their only options appear to be prison or death.

It is no secret that I love Ally Blue's writing and each of her books that I have read brings something new and different to the table but in my opinion the characterizations and incredible world building in Untamed Heart make this her best book yet. This is a story about two men who appear to be beyond redemption - one is an executioner who kills for money and the other is almost damaged beyond repair, yet they rise above their human failings to love each other deeply and unselfishly. Ally's trademark hot sex between her protagonists was ever present and Leon was such an amazing and patient teacher as he tries to make Grim understand it's OK to enjoy sex and ask for what he wants. These two men really tugged at my heartstrings - tough, hard-bitten Leon who becomes whole again by loving Grim and gentle, shy Grim who had a terrible past, had been abandoned or used by just about everyone in his life and now has one sure, safe anchor.

Ms Blue can be depended on to give her readers complex characters in her books but this time I think she outdid herself; I was so emotionally moved by Leon and Grim that they broke my heart. Using the savage and stark terrain of Alaska as the setting for this book is a stroke of genius and gives the story a richness and depth that made it even more impactful. I could feel the cold, crisp air and the natural habitat all around and when Leon and Grim have to kill animals for food it couldn't get more real.

Untamed Heart is deserving of more than 5 stars but that is the highest rating I can give it on amazon. Any fan of Ally Blue who hasn't read this book should get it or they will miss out on what I believe is her best work to date.

This latest from Ally is excellent. Her 2 characters are not your usual M/M romance eroticas stereotypes. Both men are dark characters, with haunted and depressing pasts. This is their love story as they meet under unusual circumstances and find love, solace and salvation in each other's arms.
Leon is not a good guy at all as he is a top assassin without conscience. His is a dark past as he is recruited from young while serving prison term, and trained to be the best killer in his organization, which could be government owned. His life changes the night he comes home and finds his lover eviscerated. He seeks revenge, finds it but is unable to move on.
Grim is the innocent young man with a haunted, equally dark and disturbing past. His is one painful life as he has been abused into submission from a tender age.
Yet their paths cross under very unusual circumstances and there is no turning back for both men as they realize how much they need each other to heal.
The plot is exciting and tense as Leon's powerful organization want them dead. Their escapade is heart stopping. If this has been a regular gay romance, I am sure the ending would have been tragic. But this is M/M romance erotica and I for one am glad it is so. The emotional pull of the story is powerful from page 1. Grim's healing as the story progresses is touching as is Leon's care and love for Grim.
As for the sex, it is just so sexy and hot.
An excellent emotionally driven romance from Ally. If you do not have kindle get this e-book release from the publisher. Not to be missed.
As a trained assassin, Leon Fisher kept his emotions at bay when doing a job, but this last kill was personal for Leon. He wanted revenge against the man who tortured and murdered his lover. He quickly learned that revenge doesn't heal a broken heart, it doesn't stop the nightmares and it doesn't stop memories, but the bottle does - at least temporarily. Leon quickly found himself falling deeper and deeper into the bottle and losing his grip on his life.

His downward spiral incited the organization he worked for to step in and intervene, by sending Leon to Alaska to dry out and recuperate on private government property. The fresh air and the solitude help to clear his mind and while out hiking he encounters Grim, a young man who lives alone in the woods. Grim saves Leon's life and takes him to his tiny cabin deep in the woods to nurse him back to health. The days turn into weeks and Grim and Leon give into the sexual attraction they feel for each other. Leon finds himself wanting more from the mysterious young man and even though they both have secrets from their own pasts they have yet to reveal it doesn't stop them from needing and depending on each other.

Untamed Heart is fantastic! I started this and read the whole thing in one sitting. I've always been an Ally Blue fan and this story solidifies her spot in the top ten with me. I love Leon and Grim. Leon's harsh on the outside, but on the inside he's a very caring man. Grim, wormed his way into my heart from the moment he was introduced in the story. Both of them have very checkered past lives and they have no problem with doing whatever it takes to survive yet there wasn't a coldness about them. They both found a way into my heart- especially Grim. I loved this story. I loved it for the characters, the action, the intrigue and the angst. Ms. Blue did a fantastic job and I joyfully recommend Untamed Heart.

Revenge can't heal a wounded soul. When Leon Fisher finds his lover butchered in their bed, he does what any good assassin would dohe gets revenge. But killing the murderer doesn't make the pain go away. Instead, it sends him on a vicious downward spiral into alcoholism and depression. In a bid to force Leon to sober up and regain his edge, his mysterious employersknown only as "the organization"send him to a private property in the wilds of Alaska. In the lush and remote Tongass National Forest, Leon encounters Grim, a strange but alluring young man who saves Leon's life after a bear attack, then brings him to a cabin in the depths of the woods to recover. Leon doesn't expect to fall in love with this odd, subservient person, yet he can't deny what he comes to feel for Grim. But Grim has a past he doesn't talk about. A past just as dark and ugly as Leon's. And both pasts are about to catch up with them.

(Amazing Book!)

(Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex)

(Wonderful Book)

I bought this book for a class 3 years ago and I still refer back to it. There is a great collection of articles relating to sexuality issues and it is put together very well!
I took Dr. Stombler's Sexuality and Society class at Georgia State University for which this book is the text. It served as an excellent companion to the material she was covering, as well as just an all around great collection of informative and interesting articles. I'd recommend it (as well as the class itself) to anyone wanting to inform, and re-inform in some cases, themselves about sexuality.
I just loved this book! It's a collection of some very great pieces of work. I would recommend this book to anyone. In fact I have recommended it to all of my family and friends who have heard me talk endlessly about it. Those who've read a story or two from it cannot wait until I'm finished to start reading it!
This anthology of over 50 contemporary readings looks at the dual forces of social construction and social control of sexuality. By also including selections from mainstream media among the scholarly literature, such as The New York Times Magazine and trade books, the authors make controversial and complex topics more approachable for students. Features Sources of abridged academic articles include Journal of Sex Research, Sexualities, Men&Masculinities, Journal of Homosexuality, Social Problems, Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Contexts, American Sociological Review, Signs, Deviant Behavior, Sexuality and Disability. Each chapter opens with a "Spotlight on Research" feature, which is an interview with a leading researcher in the field. Special boxes throughout out the text highlight information complementary to the topic, ranging from additional research statistics to Bill Cosby's recollections of an early sexual encounter.

(Good read)

(Excellent lovable romance)

Enjoyed this book as did my partner. The story setting was different and it was nice to see two intelligent women even if the topic was sewage. It was also nice to see a successful corporate executive who has a tough reputation but cares about the environment and the quality of their work.

One part of the story hit really close to home...family expectations of the single daughter. Don't want to give too much away, but there are family concerns which one of the characters must deal with while facing work-related deadlines. So many professionals, especially women, must make these difficult decisions every day...family obligations or work. Guilt, presumed expectations, and actual expectations all play a part in this story.

This is a humorous and fun-to-read romance. No huge drama or tall buildings being leaped by unrealistically unbelievable characters. It's a story about two normal woman who come into each others worlds and end up changing each other and themselves. If you want a nice romance with a good ending, this is a great book that's well edited and very readable.
Civil Engineer Anne Schneider and her business partner, Patrick Ford, are struggling to make their new business enterprise, Clearly Perfect Water Systems, successful. They land a contract for a major project involving tainted wastewater from the Big Tree Paper Plant near the tiny town of Wood Mill, southeast of San Francisco. The job requires Anne to be on site for six months, under the watchful eye Adehm Trent, from the plant's headquarters office in Detroit. Anne takes on the job, despite the fact that it takes her away from her parents in Albuquerque. Her mother's health is failing badly, and her father relies on Anne to help with her care. Confident she can handle both her personal and her professional responsibilities, Anne heads to Wood Mill, ready to prove to Mr. Trent that Clearly Perfect Water Systems is equal to the task at hand. One tiny problem... Mister Trent is really Ms. Trent, and not only that, but she's drop-dead gorgeous, to boot, not to mention a demanding employer. Anne and Adehm find their way to workable relationships, both as colleagues and as something much more satisfying-until Anne's mother's condition deteriorates, forcing Anne to choose between fulfilling her obligations to Adehm and Big Tree and returning to Albuquerque to help her parents. In the aftermath of Anne's choice, Adehm must face old demons that have haunted her for years. Like Anne, she too must decide what really matters in her life. Everything was going so well, but now both Anne and Adehm have to contend with serious derailments of their plans. What will happen to their goals and dreams that were In the Works?

(Ghost hunting with a dash of m/m desire)

(Middlin' Ok But Maybe Not Ready for Prime Time)

(Oddly disappointing....)

(Now, I'm an Ally Blue Fan)

(Oleander House)

The first book in what has become a fantastic series about the Bay City Paranormal Investigators. The book follows Sam in his first investigation with the team, and the beginnings of his relationship with all the members, especially Bo. What I loved about this book is that the investigation is done scientifically rather than entirely on a psychic or spiritual level. Sam and Bo's relationship, if it can be called that in this first book, is understated. There is tension and desire, but no claim of love. When they're together, it is a brutal explosion of desire and lust that in turn causes the evil that lurks in the house to be released.

Ally Blue has done something interesting with this series, and I love that there are ghosts as well as the monsters from another dimension. It certainly added a unique twist that I was not expecting.
I received this download as a freebie from the publisher. It's the first book in a series, it does have a cliffhanger, and it is not, thank god, erotica-- there's some explicit sex but it doesn't overwhelm the book.

I had been talking to a friend about the ghost hunter television shows where people go into a dark, supposedly haunted, place with flashlights and proceed to fake whisper things like "Hear that?", "What's Over There?" Then at some point they all start running. The TV shows are not nearly as scary as The Haunting of Hill House-- and this book isn't scary either though it does have some gore. It doesn't adequately exploit the possibilities of the set up. After all oleander is one of the most poisonous plants in the world.

I started out thinking in dismay I was reading a gay version of a 1984 Silhouette Desire-- New assistant falls for hawt married boss. There's also a witchy stereotypical psychic foisted on them by the owner of Oleander House. But soon even the conflict that was brought by the witchy psychic is dealt with and the only thing going is the sexual identity conflict and some psychic events.

I also had some trouble trying to figure out exactly what position the characters were in while having sexual dreams. I finally gave up on that.

Finally, this was my first experience of a m/m ebook. I've read other books where women have written about gay male relationships, but not ones where the relationship is the central conflict, i.e., genre romances. I think I prefer books like Gina Hale's Wicked Gentlemen to this. However, I am curious enough to try the second in the series if I can get someone to assure me that it resolves the plot threads left hanging at the end of this one-- other than the relationship one-- it's a romance, I know how that will end.

One big plus, the price is right on the downloads for the Kindle from the publisher-- as I stated this one was a freebie for me, but the purchase price is still more than reasonable.
Oddly disappointed is the my best reaction to "Oleander House". There were just too many plot holes and too little character development for a cohesive and compelling story. I felt the book had a bit too much in common with bad horrors movies - house bad, house wants to eat you, house wins because you ignore all logic and reasoning.

The major plot gap/hole I'm referring to with the house is the blind insistence to stay in the house even though everyone knows of the horrible unexplained deaths in the past and the psychics are dreaming of said violence happening to them. Even after seeing evidence of something trying to come through, they have to stay. At that point staying in the house seemed to be a rush past logic to a forced plot device.

As far as the characters go, I never got a sense of what the two "leads" even looked like (other than the too often mentioned braid). There was also no romance to speak of. Ending a book where the two romantic leads agree to possibly pursue a relationship is not a romance. It's a teaser for the next book.

This was the second Ally Blue book, I've read. I thought the first was really enjoyable - getting a good feel for her characters. Now that I've read this one, I know that her ability to keep you interested in the characters, the great character development, the interesting storylines were not just a fluke in the first book. She can do it again. Now, I'm sold as one of her fans. It will be interesting to see how she takes these characters in the sequel that is coming out soon. I'll be first in line to buy the follow-up book.
A nice reasonably believable M/M romance wrapped in fairly well plotted paranormal tale. I really enjoyed the slow angst ridden development of the attraction between the two guys.

When Sam Raintree goes to work for Bay City Paranormal Investigations, he expects his quiet life to change--he doesn't expect to put his life and sanity on the line, or to fall for a man he can never have.

Book One in the Bay City Paranormal Investigation series.

Sam Raintree has never been normal. All his life, he's experienced things he can't explain. Things that have colored his view of the world and of himself. So taking a job as a paranormal investigator seems like a perfect fit. His new co-workers, he figures, don't have to know he's gay.

When Sam arrives at Oleander House, the site of his first assignment with Bay City Paranormal Investigations, nothing is what he expected. The repetitive yet exciting work, the unusual and violent history of the house, the intensely erotic and terrifying dreams which plague his sleep. But the most unexpected thing is Dr. Bo Broussard, the group's leader.

From the moment they meet, Sam is strongly attracted to his intelligent, alluring boss. It doesn't take Sam long to figure out that although Bo has led a heterosexual life, he is very much in the closet, and wants Sam as badly as Sam wants him.

As the investigation of Oleander House progresses and paranormal events in the house escalate, Sam and Bo circle warily around their mutual attraction, until a single night of bloodshed and revelation changes their lives forever.

Warning: this title contains explicit male/male sex, intense violence, and graphic language

(Enjoyable Simple Pleasure)

(Don`t waste your time.)

(Games people play)

(Reconciling sexuality not an easy task.)

(Ambivalence)

This book was consistently recommended to me via my Kindle and given the synopsis, I thought I would enjoy an executive-based gay novel instead of the typical twink at a club type of story. What I didn't know was I began reading a gay version of a Harlequin Romance. This book is not for my straight friends. Potential readers are forewarned - this book is spends more time describing the intimate segments of the main characters relationship than developing a plot. If you are looking for a gay Harlequin Romance, this is for you.

What is unfortunate about this novel is it had the potential to be more than a romance book. Both characters are heavy hitters in their advertising agency and both characters are in the closet. As with any romance novel, of course both are extremely attractive and there is a power struggle. Without giving the plot or ending away, both have commitments to either family or significant others that they are dealing with as they become more attracted to one another. This could have been great - it had all the elements that could relate to readers.

Besides the number of pages spent describing the sexual escapades of the two, where this book fell apart for me is how quickly Steve falls in love with Mark. He declares his love for him after the first date. At that point, the character that Hauser had done such a good job developing totally fell apart for me. He became that obsessive twink instead of the masculine, mature character I had envisioned.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the book at times. It isn't one that you will be raving about to friends but it is one that you may enjoy reading as a simple pleasure and a break from the typical complex novel. As long as you know you are picking up a gay version of a Harlequin ... your expectations will be correctly set and you will enjoy this novel so much more. I'll probably be picking up another one of Hauser's books in the future.
Poorly written. One dimensional characters. Dull predictable sex scenes. Plot holes big enough to drop bowling balls through. Mrs. Hauser`s worst effort to date.
Slow in the beginning but heated up after awhile leading to an emotionally charged ending. Overall fun read.
Following his resignation from the police force (and subsequent end of a relationship with a foxy female attorney), Steve Miller put his social life on "hold" as he competed for a promotion at a prestigious advertising agency. At a "team building retreat" in the New Mexico desert, Steve is teamed with his main competition at the firm, a charismatic and handsome Brit named Marc, and both men are very surprised by the turn of events when a night stranded in the desert turns into the most satisfying sexual experience either has ever had. Neither man had considered himself gay or bisexual, with macho Steve's past dating history and Marc's current engagement to be married. When it happens again (and again), with even more intense feelings, Steve is reconciled to the fact that he is indeed in love with Marc, but Marc - unwilling to confront his family, friends and fiancé - continues with his wedding plans, much to Steve's chagrin. It's a dilemma both men are agonizing over, with family and friends trying to help them make the right decision.

As usual, G. A. Hauser spins a realistic and engaging romantic tale, with just the right amount of erotic content that never gets in the way of the story she is trying to tell. There's a cute wink-wink to her devoted readers, when one of the characters, in trying to reconcile his gay leanings, picks up a gay romance novel called "The Kiss" ... one of hers, of course! My one "nitpick" here is that the title is a bit misleading, as one expects a story based in Washington DC or at least within the financial industry, but that doesn't merit any reduction of the rating, which is five stars out of five.
This book is about ambivalence of several kinds: over the sexuality of the two protagonists (straight or gay), and over their feelings for each other. Steve and Mark have each been the protagonist in two previous works by this author, in each case the guy found a hot lady to fall in love with, so they both (and everyone else) thought they were straight. Steve's relationship with his girlfriend had already devolved into a friendship without sex, but Mark, who lived with a beautiful gay roommate (in love with Mark) with whom he did NOT have sex, was engaged to and close to marrying his fiancee, Sharon. While Steve never had any difficulty resolving sexual orientation once he realized what he felt for Mark, Mark was on the verge of marriage to someone he'd once loved and had lots of ambivalence over what he should do about it in light of his exploding interest in Steve.

The two were competitors for an extremely valuable account for their advertising firm and hated each other instinctively because of the competition. Then they fell head over heels in love with each other and each had, at least early on, to fight strong ambivalence over their competing needs: to win the account (job) or to win the honey (love and steamy sex). More ambivalence.

It's a good book and I recommend it, but I can only give it four stars instead of five because I basically became disgusted with Mark well before the end of the story. I liked Steve and generally believe that he did what he had to do, except I wasn't sure why he went to the wedding after he'd realized he was being played. He was glad he did, but I didn't believe that Mark was brave enough or strong enough to do what he did at the end of the book, even though the author wrote his actions into the plotline. Enjoy; maybe you will have a different reaction to Mark than I did.
Let the games begin... Former Los Angeles Police officer Steve Miller has gone from walking a beat in the City of Angels to joining the rat race as an advertising executive. He knows how cut-throat the industry can be, so when his boss tells him that he's in direct competition with a newcomer from across the pond for a coveted account, he's not surprised...then he meets Mark Richfield.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and fashion-model good looks, Mark is used to getting what he wants. About to be married, Mark has just nailed the job of his dreams. If the determined Brit could just steal the firm's biggest account right out from under Steve Miller, his life would be perfect.

When their boss sends them together to the Arizona desert for a team-building retreat the tension between the two dynamic men escalates until in the heat of the moment their uncontrollable passion leads them to a sexual experience that neither can forget.

Will Mark deny his feelings and follow through with marriage to a women he no longer wants, or will he realize in time that in the game of love, sometimes you have to let go and lose yourself in order to really win.
