(Another solid story from Rhodes)

(Under My Skin)

(My type of M/M romance!)

(UNDER AND OVER)

(Under My Skin 1&2 by M.L. Rhodes)

Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.

Rating: 8/10

PROS:
- Good depiction of a common fantasy: a sexy, tattooed bad boy with a heart of gold.
- Sex scenes that are hot and descriptive (nothing terribly kinky, but not boring) and emotional. (see cons list below also)
- Good writing. Rhodes does an excellent job of maintaining consistency in POV and establishing unique characters by examining their thoughts in detail. She does well getting inside their heads.
- Accurate descriptions of the uncertainty that comes with a new relationship, especially as concerns whether or not the other person likes you as much as you like him.

CONS:
- I don't like sex for the sake of sex, but the speed at which an emotional connection forms wasn't terribly believable for me. Their first sexual encounter is more than just f*ing, but at that point they still barely know each other. They go from simple mutual attraction (and strong fear and dislike on one side) to meaningful sex within a couple of hours after a brief one-on-one conversation in a bar.
- Slightly contrived conflict at the end of the second novella. I didn't feel that the action related to the "bad guy" was necessary; I thought the tension between the two characters trying to figure out their relationship was conflict enough.

Overall comments: A very good read, despite my nitpicky cons comments. Rhodes has established herself as one of my favorites in the genre; I like every book I've read by her.
Labeled "the smart guy" all his life had ironically become a bad stigma to Sebastian Keller. He may be book-smart and business-smart, but when it came to his love life, he made dumb choices and stupidly fell for the wrong guys.

But now he's learned his lesson and he's smart enough to realize that jocks and bad boys could never have an interest in him and falling for them would only lead to humiliation and heartbreak. Bad boys are taboo, especially the tattooed ones and that includes the sexy tattoo artist Dylan Radamacher who just opened his tattoo parlor next to Sebastian's travel bookstore.

Under My Skin is fantastic! It's over a hundred pages, but it read like ten. I was amazed at how quickly I breezed through this book and was so disappointed when I reached the last page, not because of how it ended, but because it was the end. Sebastian is so sweet; he makes you want to kick the butt of all his prior boyfriends who made him feel worthless and used. And Dylan is just as sweet. Sebastian and Dylan have in common the fact that people judge them based on what they see and not who they truly are. In Sebastian's case, he's viewed as being easy to take advantage of and sadly, past boyfriends have taken advantage of his kindness. It took a lot of courage for him to lower his walls and allow Dylan into his life, even if it was only for physical gratification to start with, but past scars caused him to judge Dylan and almost lose what may be the best thing to happen to him. As I stated earlier, I was very disappointed when this book ended, but knowing M. L. Rhodes and her penchant for sequels, I'm hoping Sebastian and Dylan are two guys she would like to visit with again. Under My Skin is a great book and I'm certain readers will enjoy it as much as I did.

Will Marshall and Davy Archer serve aboard a ship in His Majesty's Navy. Will and Davy have been lovers for quite some time and so far they have been lucky to remain together during their ship re-assignments. Word has just come down that they are being transferred yet again under their current captain to help find a saboteur aboard another vessel. Will and Davy have managed to stay above suspicion into their personal lives and appear as good friends only. But in taking on this newest mission, their captain asks them to give off the signals that they are perhaps more than just friends, thereby hoping to draw out the scoundrel. Only all does not go as planned when Davy gets shot and is forced to return to land thus separating the men. With Will on the water and Davy on the land only time will tell if they can manage a distant relationship.

I found Winds of Change to have a very in depth storyline. The characters are very detailed in background and personality. There were spots where I had a tough time following the ship jargon, but overall I understood most of it. Will and Davy's tale is full of misadventure and drama mixed with some stolen lover's moments, and yet some tender moments as well. I believe if you like a historical style M/M story Winds of Change may be for you as it has a good plot, storyline and happy ending.

This may consists of 2 novellas, released months apart, but the story flows seamlessly, the romance heartfelt and sexy as hell. As for her 2 characters, Sebastian and Dylan, they are credible, well developed and very likable. Sebastian is the intelligent and good looking American boy next-door who owes a little bookshop. Far from being confident, Sebastian feels that people are somewhat repulsed by his looks and brains. His failed past relationships affirm that, especially a recently emotionally abusive one which leaves him heartbroken, insecure and unable to trust again.
Dylan is a tattoo artist, operating his growing tattoo/piercing business beside Sebastian's little bookshop. Dylan exudes confidence and sex, a handsome hunk with his tattoos, bike and jeep. However he sucks in his relationships which are confined to sex and never his heart as he is much affected by his mother's unhappy past after being abandoned by his father.
Rhodes has penned a lovely and credible story delving deeply into these 2 vulnerable and sensitive men's feelings as they struggle with their emotional obstacles which they need to overcome before they could trust, love and commit.
The first novella, which has Dylan relentlessly trying to convince a flighty Sebastian his sincerity once he realizes Sebastian is much more than a one-night stand, is more light hearted, their growing romance very sexy.
The plot picks up in the second novella which is even better. Emotionally charged, the verbal exchange between the 2 men in the second novella is stirring and absorbing. The plot turns suspenseful towards the end when one of the men's past catches up with them and as Rhodes has shown in "Always", she really knows how to keep you at the edge of your seat. Highly recommended to all M/M romance fans.
Under My Skin (Books I&II) It is decision time for Sebastian and Dylan. Both are dealing with fears from the past, Sebastian had a painful experience with a bad boy and is still trying to recover from it when he met Dylan. Dylan wants to prove that a bad boy persona does not mean automatic heartbreak, but he must do battle with his own demons before he can entrust his heart to Sebastian. You cannot help but respond to the well written characters that come to life with each sentence. I felt their pain, smiled at their joy and became an enthusiastic voyeur watching their sensual love scenes. This is a fantastic book that should not be missed.
Under My Skin by M.L. Rhodes

Sebastian is an up-tight librarian. He owns a bookstore specialized in travel guide and his average customers are old couple who travel after their retirement. He has a profitable business but he strives to close the month cause fifteen months before his former lover stole all his money and put his business in danger.

So when in the next door shop opens a new tattoo shop, who draws all type of not so encouraging face, and above all he has to suffer the loud music he can clearly listen from his shop, Sebastian can only present his complaints to the owner, Dylan. But the problem is that Dylan is a very sexy man who turns Sebastian.

Sebastian doesn't think himself able to have a right judgement on the man, cause his body is distracted by the other man's body, and so his mind is not called in for the decision. But still he has some proofs that Dylan could be a different man, not like his former lover, and someone to build something beautiful together.

All the story spans only few days in Sebastian and Dylan's life, but it's sweet and romantic, and also pretty sexy. In a so short period, truth be told, the two make more sex than chat, but still the story is more romantic than erotic. I like Dylan better than Sebastian, well I have always had a soft spot for bad guy, but really Dylan is not a bad boy: he has the looks, bike, boots and tattoo, but he is really a simple guy, with a comfortable house and a cat as roommate. All in all he has his life addressed to the right path, and he is ready to move on on a steady relationship to fulfill all the side of his life.

Sebastian instead has some issue to overcome; he regrets to be judge by his looks and not by his real be. He appears like a good guy, a geek, and maybe he is like that, but he was always drawn by the bad boy type, maybe cause deep inside him he desires to be like them. So for some twisting game, Dylan has the looks of a bad boy and instead is a steady guy, while Sebastian has the looks of the All American boy and instead he is still wandering to find his real being.

Under My Skin 2 by M.L. Rhodes

Sebastian and Dylan are lovers since two months, but Sebastian is still unsure. He is not over his past bad experience, who left him with the idea that he is not enough for his man. Dylan is so perfect, handsome and gentle, and Sebastian can't possible imagine why he is so taken by him.

And now Dylan has to go visit his mother and he will be away for ten long days. During this period Sebastian has the time to understand that by now he is in love with Dylan, even if he didn't want to fall in love. But even if Dylan is always tender and caring with him, he never once said he loved him. And then he is still suffering for his former boyfriend's betrayal, and maybe he needs to learn to live alone again before deciding to share his life with another man.

Even if this one is longer than the previous book, the story is more centered on the feelings between Sebastian and Dylan than on the setting. Actually, the social distance between the two, so clear in the previous book since Dylan is the owner of a tattoo shop and Sebastian a bookseller, here is almost non existent, since Dylan's work make no appearance here.

The story is not very long, less than 100 pages but it's good. I like both Sebastian than Dylan's characters. They are quite "normal" guy, with a good thing between them, but with the normal fears of a new couple that it's not just full conscious of its strenght.

From award-winning and best-selling gay-fiction author M.L. Rhodes......Now merged together in one paperback volume, readers can enjoy the first two parts in the sizzling Under My Skin series! In Under My Skin...Sebastian Keller's been called 'the smart guy' most of his life. Though he hasn't always appreciated the label, and it hasn't exactly made him a man magnet, he's put his intelligence to work building his store, Great Escapes Travel Book Shop, to the point it's now the favorite recommendation of travel agents in the St. Louis area. His customers love him for his extensive knowledge and his amiable personality. He doesn't feel very amiable, however, when Rad Tattoos moves in next door to Great Escapes. Its owner, Dylan Radamacher, rubs Sebastian the wrong way from the get-go. The man's insufferable, stubborn, and worse, a bad boy. Everything Sebastian loathes! And yet, much to his annoyance, the teasing sparkle in Dylan's eyes, his hot, inked body, and come-hither voice set Sebastian's libido on fire. Sebastian's been there, done that with the bad-boy type before, though, and almost lost everything because of it. There's no way he's going down that road again. Yet when Dylan sets his sights on Sebastian and is determined to take him for a walk on the wild side, Sebastian knows he's in big trouble. It's going to take all his smarts and a whole lot of willpower to resist the sexy tattoo artist before the man finds a way to burrow deeper under his skin......And the story continues in Under My Skin II......For two months things between Sebastian and Dylan have been sinfully spectacular, and Sebastian hates to rock the boat. But the truth is, in spite of his own commitment issues, he's fallen in love with the sexy tattooist. Dylan, on the other hand, seems determined to avoid the 'L' word at all costs. As their relationship shifts toward the serious side, can the guys overcome their fears and take the steps that will bring them the kind of love that lasts a lifetime? Or will their old baggage come back to haunt them and tear them apart for good?

(His Honour Serves Up Love)

(Excellent)

(Court Appointed)

(Court Appointed by Annmarie McKenna)

His Honor Jackson Benedict needs protection from a stalker who has been sending him suspicious "gifts". The last person he wants as a bodyguard is the man he has always desired from afar but never thought might be interested in him. When Federal Agent Trey London shows up in the Judge's courtroom, the attraction between them is unmistakable. Trey has wanted Jackson for a long time and he makes it clear that he is not going to wait much longer.

Jackson and Trey are so hot for each other after a mind blowing kiss in His Honor's office that they can hardly wait to get out of there to somewhere more private so that they can continue where they left off. On their way from the courthouse there is an attempted kidnapping of the Judge which Trey manages to thwart but he is injured as a result of the incident. In the middle of all the confusion afterward the two men manage to let each other know that their hot romance is just beginning.

The dialogue between Trey and Jackson is really raunchy and funny at times. They can't keep their hands and mouths off each other and the love scenes are so hot they may have needed several fans to cool off. Both men are gorgeous and it's obvious that they are really into each other; the sexual tension between them is tangible.

Court Appointed is part of Samhain's Serving Love series. Ms McKenna has written a very good story and I found most of it to be credible, but toward the end when the stalker is revealed and there is a takedown, in my opinion there were a few unanswered questions which led, unfortunately, to the story coming apart just a bit. Perhaps because the book is so short there was not enough time to develop the story further and come up with a more plausible villain and ending. However, overall the book was a good read and fans of Ms McKenna will love to add it to their collection.

I loved this book. Everything about it was interesting. The characters were likeable and realistic, their attraction to each other sparks flames instantly, and the scenes with the men together were down right hot. McKenna's writing style is smooth and easy to read. You crave prequels and sequels. Highly recommended.
Federal Judge Jackson Benedict is trying a case involving the favorite son of a notorious family, when he begins getting suspicious "gifts" and threatening notes. Despite his objections, Federal Agent Trey London insists he needs protection. Jackson is attracted to Trey, and Trey seems to feel the same, but will Jackson live long enough to do anything about it?

Court Appointed takes the stereotypical "important person needs protection and falls for the bodyguard" story and gives it an interesting twist. Making both parties men changed the dynamic of the story considerably, especially when Jackson thinks Trey is overreacting or treating him like a woman. Sexy, determined Trey and stubborn Jackson are both likeable characters. The love scenes are hot. The suspense angle was well done for the most part, and coincidences and red herrings kept it interesting. Really, the only flaws in this book were Jackson's father, whose over-the-top, controlling behavior seemed a bit much, and the resolution of the stalker angle, which I thought was abrupt. Overall, Court Appointed was a hot and entertaining read, and I give kudos to Annmarie McKenna for turning an old romance cliché into something new.

Jackson is a judge. Old money family and comfy life, he is one of the younger federal judges of the country. And he has a right path for Washington. But there is a problem. Jackson likes men. Believing this could ruin his career he has always kept a low profile, having relationship with men who have maybe more reason than him to hide. And so no one knows about him apart his ex lovers and his father, an homophobic man who has never accepted his son.

But now hiding could be a deadly decision for Jackson, cause he is blackmailing by someone who obviously knows about him. And who has the possibility to enter annoticing in his home. So Jackson has to report to FBI, and the man who replies to his request is Trey, Jackson's wet dream. Jackson knows Trey and has always fantasized about him, but till now he has never tried to discover if the man could be possibly interested in having an affair. Cause a real story is not possible...

But Trey is not interested in an affair, he is interested in all and soon. He makes pretty clear that from that moment on, Jackson's safety, and body, are his own duty and a duty he is very willingly to accomplish. And if being his 24 hours bodyguard means share a bed... it's even better.

Jackson and Trey are really similar, both in looks than in behaviour. They are both strong men, and it's pretty funny the scene where Trey is hurrying to save the judge, and the man knocks down two men without help... if Trey would be less self-conscious, he could have an inferiority complex!

The sex story steals somewhat the scene to the suspence-thriller one. And there are some points of the suspence story which remain unsolved at the end, end which maybe happens a bit to quick... has the author a lenght limit in mind? I was really getting into the story and... puff... it was finished...

Jackson knows he needs protection from a stalker, but the last thing he wants is to want his bodyguard.After receiving several suspicious "gifts," His Honor Jackson Benedict is assigned an agent for protection. He'd be fine with a bodyguard...if he was anyone but the man who enters his courtroom looking hotter than any man has a right to look. Thank God Jackson's robe hides his interest.

Trey London is more than happy that Jackson has practically been handed to him on a silver platter. If his job requires he stay close to one of the country's youngest federal judges, it's no skin off his back. The closer the better, actually.

But someone else is getting closer, too, and when the gifts turn into attacks, Trey is forced to trade his status of new lover for that of protector. He's not about to let anyone come between him and his judge.

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit, nekkid, sometimes robed, m/m judge on bodyguard sex, and graphic language.

(!st Patchett book)

(Magician's Assistant)

(A pleasant story!)

(Patchett's finest)

(Great book to read/listen to this winter)

The Magician's Assistant
This was my first read of a Patchett book and I enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and the story was intriguing.
I loved the book. It was in good condition for the price and it came timely.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a very sweet story. Although the end was left a bit up in the air... though it was pretty obvious where it was going to end. It's kinda nice to hold the happy ending in your own hand. My only complaint was the lack of chapters, but, honestly, that lack worked rather well in this story. I am, however, at a loss as to what to read next... I am glad that I have another one or two of her books though. I mean, it wasn't great, but it WAS good... solid.
Ann Patchett skillfully crafts a novel that evokes deep compassion for all characters, despite their flaws. I have read all of her works, and this is my favorite. The Audio CD version reader brings the novel to life; she is an amazing actress! I recommend the book and audio version without reservation. The Magician's Assistant
If you are looking for a book to read during the long nights this winter, try this one! It really is a wonderful novel about love, loss and the power of possibilities.

I have a the unabridged CD version of this book (10 cds in all). After listening to half of the first CD I thought I had made a mistake, but by the end of that CD I was hooked. When I got to the 9th cd I was a little sad that it would be over. When I finished the 10th CD I went to the computer to see what else I could read by Ann Patchett.

A secretive magician's death becomes the catalyst for his partner's journey of self-discovery in this "enchanting" book (San Francisco Chronicle) "that is something of a magic trick in itself-a 1990s love story with the grace and charm of a nineteenth-century novel" (Newsweek).
The Magician's Assistantsustains author Ann Patchett's proven penchant for crafting colorful characters and marrying the ordinary with the fantastic. When Parsifal, Sabine's husband of more than 20 years and the magician of the title, suddenly dies, she begins to discover how she's glimpsed him only through smoke and mirrors. He has managed to keep hidden the existence of a family in Nebraska--his mother, two sisters, and two nephews. Sabine approaches them hungrily, as if they are a bridge to her beloved husband and a key to the mysteries he left behind.

(Wonderfully Told Story)

(She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders)

(Whoop? Whoop? Whoop?)

(Great Education)

("Can't Not")

This was a fascinating book--by a great storyteller--about a man's transformation from male to female. The parts I loved best were when s/he did a private study of the different reactions s/he got depending on gender. (For example, as a male in search of new car, he was shown the engine. As a female, she was shown the cupholders and charged a thousand dollars more for the car.) When s/he started taking female hormones, s/he became more sensitive about everything, and at one point said "There were a number of times when I wish I had the male shield (of testosterone) standing between me and the harshness of the world."
Ordered this book to learn more about transgenderism. Jennifer Finney Boylan wrote from here personal experiences in a clear, yet entertaining manner giving me insight into this growing phenomenon.
In "She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders", Jennifer Boylan writes:

"I'd arrived at early adolescence having inherited my mother's buoyant optimism."

It's this same optimism that buoys the reader along as Jenny recounts the story of her self discovery, self acceptance and eventual pursuit for wholeness.

I have known some transgendered individuals during the course of my life. I've seen others in television specials, talk shows and movies. Although I have understood the condition intellectually, I have always found the issue somewhat alien and unsettling.

In this remarkable book, Jennifer Boylan discusses the extraordinary circumstances of being transgendered and explains them in entirely ordinary terms. There is no mystery, weirdness or perversion - just a human being on an incredibly difficult, confusing, courageous, and personal journey of discovery.

Boylan's prose is seemingly effortless - her voice hopeful and introspective, even when recounting times of deepest despair. She gives readers a real sense of her inner struggle, and makes us root for her all the way. A touching, thoughtful and funny book from a masterful storyteller.

C.A.Wulff
I picked this book up from the library as a throw out, but it ended up being an education. As a fan of Middlesex, this book gave another view into the transgender world. Really who does not want to know more about all types of alternatives. I love to read more about the more risque part of sex, such as BDSM, but this topic presented itself and really humanized the subject. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to know the real stuggles that a transgendered person goes through on their journey towards "transition".
From his earliest memories as a three-year old, James Finney was never without the awareness that he was "in the wrong body, living the wrong life." As a youngster, a teenager, a college student, a husband deeply in love with his wife and two children, and a professor of English at Colby College in Maine, Boylan countered that unsettling consciousness for several long decades with "an exasperated companion thought, namely, 'Don't be an idiot, You're not a girl. Get over it.'" This deeply human memoir tells how James never "got over it" and how at the age of forty-three he finally had sex reassignment surgery that completed his transgendering to Jennifer.

Boylan says that her journey caused her "an almost inexpressible degree of private grief." She discovered that gender identity was far more complex than sexual attraction, cultural expectations, cross dressing, extended therapy, biology, or even genetics. It was not a choice for a certain lifestyle. She tried mightily to "accept who I wasn't," knowing that transgendering from male to female would "mean only loss and grief" for many people. In that herculean but ultimately futile quest she was aided by having inherited her mother's "boundless optimism." She counted her blessings, and especially the "greatest years of her life" in marriage to Carol and their two children. James knew full well that finally transitioning to a female would cause his beloved Carol untold grief, loss, and a sense of betrayal, and that he would bear his own grief and guilt as a result.

In the end, Boylan describes her transgendering from James to Jennifer as more like an "erosion" or "forced conscription" than a decision. This story is a powerful one because of its transparency. Most people supported her; her sister has never spoken to her since she transitioned. As you would expect, her memoir is partly a plea for understanding, but even that is not compromised by polemical or partisan zeal. James transgendered to Jennifer "because I can't not." After all the explanations and anguish, she concludes, "What I have come to realize is that no matter how much light one attempts to throw on this condition, it remains a mystery" (248). At the end of the book Boylan offers thirteen questions for discussion and eight books for further reading. Her sequel memoir called I'm Looking Through You was published in 2008.

The provocative bestsellerShe’s Not Thereis the winning, utterly surprising story of a person changing genders. By turns hilarious and deeply moving, Jennifer Finney Boylan explores the territory that lies between men and women, examines changing friendships, and rejoices in the redeeming power of family. Told in Boylan’s fresh voice,She’s Not Thereis about a person bearing and finally revealing a complex secret. Through her clear eyes,She’s Not Thereprovides a new window on the confounding process of accepting our true selves.

“Probably no book I’ve read in recent years has made me so question my basic assumptions about both the centrality and the permeability of gender, and made me recognize myself in a situation I’ve never known and have never faced . . . The universality of the astonishingly uncommon: that’s the trick ofShe’s Not There. And with laughs, too. What a good book.” —Anna Quindlen, from the Introduction to the Book-of-the-Month-Club edition.

(Could have been better)

(Steamy, hot, great beach or lazy day read)

(Well written! Kept me interested all the way through.)

(Out of My Mind by M.L. Rhodes)

(Out of My Mind)

It was OK but didn't have time to develop. M.L. Rhodes has with other books and could have done more with this story line.
Well written story about two cops. Gets really good and steamy once these two get a clue and fall for each other. Keeps a good pace going. You won't get bored with this one!
I thoroughly enjoyed "Out of My Mind". The characters are likable and the plot moves along in a realistic way.

After I finished this book, I immediately read M. L. Rhodes' "The Professor's Secret Passion" and found the plots to be quite similar: two men admitting their repressed attraction to each other and having their first sex together; then the older partner freaks out and stops communicating with the younger completely, until he realizes his love for the younger guy is more important than any of the fears that were freaking him out.

M. L. Rhodes does a far superior job in portraying the younger partner's angst at being abandoned in her descriptions of what Nick was going through in "Out of My Mind". If you're trying to chose between the two, I'd recommend "Out of My Mind" over "The Professor's Secret Passion."
Rafferty and Nick are partners. Work partners. Both detective for police in Maine since 4 years. And Rafferty is married; or unless he was married since two months before. He has found his wife in bed with another man and immediately files the divorce. Strange he is not mourning too much over it. It's long that he has stopped to love and desire his wife. And instead he has begun to deside his partner... How could it be possible? He is straight! And so is Nick! Or not? One faithful night abroad with his small boat they remain trapped in a rainstorm and in the little cabin the passion flares. But the morning after Raff is full of fear and doubts, and Nick, who is really gay and with a bad experience behind, doesn't know how to reassure his friend, now lover.

This is a medium long ebook, 100 pages, and it goes smoothly and fast. Raff and Nick are both positive characters, maybe a little too positive. Raff is a good cop, very friendly and calm; he considers himself boring and not attractive. Instead Nick, younger than 6 years, is the classical good and handsome guy, the type every woman wants, and apparently also some man... But Raff, 35 years older, when deals with feeling is like a teenager with his first crush. He wants and then he has fear, he reaches forward and then backs away... And Nick is so comprehensive. Well maybe I'd like a bit more of angry.

Recently divorced cop Rafferty Jones has had some strange thoughts lately. He's been thinking about his partner, Nick Tucker, in a whole new way. When Nick shows up for a planned weekend on his boat, Raff wonders if he made a huge mistake. Can he keep his feelings a secret?

Nick has been in love with Raff for years, but Raff was straight and married. Lately Raff's been acting strangely, and Nick's determined to get to the bottom of it. What will happen when Nick finds out that Raff might not be so off-limits after all?

Out of My Mind is a hot and emotional read. Both Raff and Nick are afraid to show their feelings to each other for fear of ruining their friendship, but once they do, sparks really fly! I could sympathize with the conflicted Raff (even when I wanted to smack him), and his confusion really rang true. Nick was so sweet I just wanted to hug him! As always, ML Rhodes has crafted believable characters and a storyline that kept me interested until the very last page. If you're in the mood for a hot read that has lots of emotion and a sweet, satisfying ending, pick up Out of Mind today!

For four years Rafferty Jones and Nick Tucker have worked side by side as police detectives in their small Maine town. But lately, Rafferty's imagination has been creating fantasies about Nick more specifically, about Nick and him together that have shocked Rafferty. Detailed erotic scenarios a thirty something, set in his ways straight man shouldn't be imagining. He's been struggling to keep them secret, afraid that if Nick discovers the truth it will end their friendship. But with each passing day it's getting harder and harder to pretend Nick is "just" a friend. And harder and harder for Rafferty to come to terms with the possibility he might not be as straight as he's always believed.

Nick's always known he's gay and he's had deep feelings for Rafferty for years. But after a difficult experience at his former police precinct in Boston, he decided when he moved to Maine to keep his sexual orientation under wraps on the job. He wants to be acknowledged at work for what he can do, not who he's doing. And with Rafferty being straight, there's always been a clear cut line that Nick's known he can't cross with his unsuspecting partner and best friend. And yet for the past few months it's become difficult to remember that line. He's not sure why, he just knows that for the first time in four years his heart and his body are urging him to go for what he really wants Rafferty.

When a stormy weekend trip on Rafferty's boat gives birth to an unexpected night of passion, will it be the spark they need to forge a new and deeper relationship? Or will Nick's past and Rafferty's fear drive a wedge between them that will destroy not only their barely-begun love affair, but their partnership and friendship as well?

(Stardust and Imploding Planets)

(The Englor Affair by J.L. Langley)

(Greate Regency Sci-Fi)

(An affair to remember.)

(The Englor Affair)

Prior to getting my Kindle, I never read a romance - gay or straight. I picked up J L Langley's With/Without novels and enjoyed them quite a bit and suddenly I have a guily secret. In the months since then, I've read some poorly written stuff - some of which I couldn't finish. This book is not among that list.

The Englor Affair is an interesting mix of science fiction and Regency nobility. As with her other novels I've read, this was fun as well as well written with enough intrique to keep it interesting.

The only think that stuck out for me is the use of words and phrases like 'Galaxy', 'Imploding Planets' and 'Dust' as expletitives; that was just distracting. I'm sure it was done for flavor but I really could have done without it.

That said, I'm looking forward to her next ebook novel.
Second in the Futuristic Regency series by J.L. Langley, this is the story of Payton, the older brother of Aiden, and second in line to the throne of Regelence. Regelence is a planet where men can marry, more it's more common for the peers to marry a man, and they can also procreate in lab an heir with the genes from both male parents and without the female component.

Payton is a IT geek and Nate, Aiden's husband, asks him to help in decipher a message which probably hides a conspiracy against both Regelence than Englor, the other planet in the Alliance that lives accordingly to the Regency rules. But in Englor those rules are more strictly than in Regelence, and even if same-sex marriage is not against the law, it's highly discouraged. And so Payton, who is a pampered prince nursed to become a beautiful ornament to the arm of a powerful and rich man, finds himself suddenly free to roams Englor's street without a chaperon, even if it appears that his genetically modified interest in other men is not so welcomed.

But not all the men on Englor are the same, and Payton meets Simon, not other than the heir to Englor's throne. Simon is a friendly and very sexy man, one that, as soon as he spots the pretty new officer, can't help to seduce him. Not that Payton resists so much to the advances... it's almost not clear if Simon seduces Payton or if Payton is the "innocent" seducer.

Even if Simon is the supposed Alpha male, he is really too open and young to be a real dominant character; Simon is the perfect scoundrel, very good in the battle field as well as in the bedroom, no matter that, in his case, the chosen bedroom partner is a male and not a maid. And Payton is not the usual virgin maid type of character; true, he is virgin, but he is a lot older than his 19 years old. In a way, Payton is more ready to be a king than Simon; Simon still needs the advice of faithful counselors, but not since he is prudent, I believe since he is still too young. So Payton and Simon make a good match, and together maybe they will manage to not destroy Englor...

As usual in a J.L. Langley's book, there is a lot of funny situations, and Payton is the perfect little firecracker, cute and to be handed with caution. Not sure if Simon is strong enough to handle him. So funny and sex as well, but I have to said that the sex it seemed more... dirty, but in a good way. Sex was always an heavy component in the mix for the previous books by the same author, but in this case it was an orgy of sense, down and dirty; with the balance of the humor, the result is a very involving story.
Until reading My Fair Captain, I hadn't really even thought about the existence of Gay, Regency, Sci-Fi. I had read SwordPoint and the Night Runner series, but they were more fantasy based (you kind of expect sword and horses and carriages there). I must admit my surprise and delight with Ms. Langley's ability to maintain the "Regency" atmosphere through all the bawdyness and technology.

I loved My Fair Captain! And didn't even know there was a sequel. I ordered The Englor Affair, totally independent of the first purchase, because I liked JL Langley as an author.

Enough preamble. This is a rip roaring good book, in and of itself. The universe and characters from My Fair Captain are there. But, the voice is different, and a new story is told. The excitement, adventure, suspense, and eroticism haven't been hurt one iota, though. This is always the concern with sequels; "Will the voice and/or story hold up as well as the first one?"

And, additional applause go out to Ms. Langley for a SUBSTANTIAL e-book. Too many are short stories, that you barely begin reading before they have finished. I can't say enough good things about the author and the book, except I hope there is a sequel to this one as well.
So after months of teasers about Payton and Simon the boys are finally here. If you've not already got this weighty tome of an ebook, best you shift your toot and get it now. It is 295 pages of delicious Sci-Regency Romance that is not to be missed.

One element that I kept coming back to in this book is that it is a regency romance. Payton for all intents and purposes has been as cloistered as a nun. Despite the odd foray without a chaperone, also known as the household computer back on his home planet, he is quite innocent in many ways. All this comes to a bit of an end when he hies off to assist the goodness that is Nate on a dangerous mission on Englor. He is certainly more than capable with his mad tech skills. Geeky and cute!

So, here he is far from his home on Regelence and minus duenna. What's a poor boy to do? Fall into the den of iniquity that is the marine base gym of course! Hoo Ahh? Where he meets Simon of the auburn locks and muscular physique. The dynamic between the two men is electric and Payton is like a kid in a candy shop (50 cent song in my head as I write... grubby, bad man) with all the naked men casually undressing, working out and heavens to Betsy showering. But Payton is made of sturdy stuff and does not disappoint with a swoon. Although, he does do a bit of fleeing later in the chapter. JL Langley is just so incredibly good at building that tension and keeping you turning that page till the wee small hours. I totally have bags under my eyes after her books!

The tension was different from My Fair Captain which was cool. I always worry in a series that I am going to get a carbon copy of the previous book. The voice is different from last time. It is certainly not polite regency romance with nighties on and the lamp low either! It was bawdy, hot and definitely fit the the story and for those more delicate flowers avert your gaze. I was most impressed that the scenes did not feel like she had a list she was ticking off with big free for all at end, it just flowed. This book seemed less about the power dynamic in the relationship and more about having one a rather good time and yet it did not overshadow the mystery and action in the plot.

The world building is tight and I enjoyed the almost steam punk feel I got occasionally. Englor is so very much like regency England but with spaceships. It was also so nice to have small cameos from Nate, Aidan and the rest of the family and I am already rubbing my hands together in anticipation of the next one!

I think this has to be one of my favorite series for cover art. As far as slick marketing goes I think Samhain Publishing and the artist definitely got this right. It is gorgeous and I love the colours. Roll on the paperback version because these two books are going to look gorgeous on my shelf!

I did enjoy this book. Immensely. I think JL Langley is a talented author and she just keeps getting better. I am not sure which I like best in the series either, might have to mull that one over!
I have to commend J. L. Langley on the best book so far! I have read all of her previous books and loved them, but this one made me want the book to never end. J. L.'s story telling is outstanding. She gets you so caught up in the story that you can't put the book down. I read this book in record time. I only wish there was another book in the series. I never read a book twice, but I am going to read this one again. If you like a story that has hot sexy powerful men caught up in intrigue, devious plots, romance and above all Hot Sex, then this is the book for you! Pleas J.L. if you read this, please continue the saga of Regelence and Englor and the hot men of Royal Families!

In hiding who he was, Payton found himselfand the man he would grow to love. After his brother is kidnapped, Prince Payton Townsend masquerades as an Admirals assistant in order to track the culprits through the tangled mysteries of the planet Englor. He finds way more than he bargained for in the form of Marine Colonel Simon Hollister. Simon is no ordinary soldier.

He never expected a dalliance with Payton to blossom into love, or that the organization that taught him to lead would threaten that loveand their lives.

("Go home, give your kids a hug, and don't let a day go by without telling them that you love them.")

(And Still Nothing Is Changed)

(Worhty Read prior to the DVD)

(A Remarkable Theatrical Piece; A Powerful Statement)

The book arrived in less than a week from when I ordered it, and appears to be new though I ordered a "used book"!
About 10 years ago. Matthew Shepard was tortured and killed outside of Laramie, Wyoming. His killers, motivated by greed and hate, tied him to a fence on the lonely prairie, beat him, stole his shoes and wallet, and left him to die.

Shepard was found by a bicyclist the next day, but died shortly after in a hospital. In announcing his death, his parents stated ""Go home, give your kids a hug, and don't let a day go by without telling them that you love them."

Four weeks after the death of Matthew Shepard, nine members of the Tectonic Theater Project traveled to Laramie and started collecting interviews with members of the community. They collected over 200 interviews in a 18 month period. The result? The Laramie Project, a powerful play on hate, tolerance, forgiveness, and religion.

This book is the screenplay. I've seen the play performed twice, once in Honolulu and once in Utah. Reading the screenplay wasn't as powerful as experiencing the performance, but it was powerful nonetheless. You are numbed as you "hear", in their own words, people point fingers, make accusations, and try to find meaning in this event.

"I did hear from Matthew about forty-eight hours before his attack. And he told me that he had joined the gay and lesbian group on campus, and that he said he was enjoying it, you know, he was getting ready for Pride Week and whatnot. I mean, he was totally stoked about school - yeah, he was really happy about being there" (p. 20).

"There is a proclamation that came out on the family. A family is defined as one woman and one man and children. That's a family. That's about as clear as you can state it. There's no sexual deviation in the Mormon Church. No - no leniency. We just think it's out-of-bounds" (p. 25).

"If you had a hundred customers like him it'd be the - the most perfect bar I've ever been in. Okay? And nothing to do with sexual orientation. Um, absolute mannerisms. Manners. Politeness, intelligence" (p. 29).

So now it is 2008, not 1998. What has changed? Could this type of crime still happen today? Would the community respond to this event in the same way?

This 112 page paperback is highly recommended.
I read this book and still have a hard time believing nothing has changed since this killing has taken place. If you say you are not homophobic than read this book and you will find that we all are in one way or another. Maybe not as bad as those involved in the killing but we are all a little. I believe this book and the DVD of the same name should be required reading in all Middle and High Schools.

I bought this to read prior to watching the DVD of the Laramie Project, to compare, and was glad I did. It carry's as much if not more of the drama and weightiness of the subject matter, the killing of Matthew Shepard in 1998.

An easy and quick read, it helped me identify the characters later on the DVD, and though in stage format, doesn;t read like a novel. I finsihed it in one afternoon, and if this horrific incident still concerns you, this is a good way to understand how it affected so many in a sparsly populated "city" in a huge mostly unpopulated state.

Hate knows no boundaries, but how it affected Laramie, is well done with an unusual idea. It took great courage to do this project, and shouold be more widely read, if not required reading, for schools.
Matthew Shepard was about two months short of his twenty-second birth when he was robbed, beaten, tied to a fence post and left to die in a rural area of Wyoming. The man who found him at first thought he was a scarecrow. Rushed to Poudre Valley Hospital at Fort Collins, he died on 12 October 1998--and when Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney were arrested for the crime they resorted to a defense known as "gay panic." Matthew Shepherd had propositioned them, they said, and they were so horrified that they killed him in response.

The gay community and numerous civil rights watchdog groups were outraged by the defense, and as more and more facts came to light it seemed that the crime was somewhat more complicated than Henderson and McKinney wanted the public to know. Witnesses stated that Henderson and McKinney had specifically targeted Shepherd because he was gay. After much legal wrangling, Henderson pled guilty and testified against McKinney, who was convicted; after still more legal wrangling, and at the request of Shepherd's parents, McKinney escaped the death penalty but has no chance of parole.

The case made headlines from end of the United States to the other and prompted numerous calls for Hate Crimes legislation, which had long been stalled both at the state and federal level. And in the midst of the confusion, chaos, and controversy, Moises Kaufman and the members of The Tectonic Theatre Project arrived on the scene, interviewing more than two hundred people about their thoughts and feelings on the case. These were shaped into THE LARAMIE PROJECT, a drama that debuted in 2000 and which has since shocked, impressed, and deeply moved audiences from coast to coast.

Playscripts are not really intended to be read; they are intended to be performed, and there can be a significant difference between how a script and how it plays. This is particularly true of THE LARAMIE PROJECT, which doesn't consist of scenes or acts but of "moments"--bits and pieces of monologue and dialogue and staging that non-play-readers will likely find difficult to envision. When performed, all those bits and pieces become like tiles in a mosaic: they may seem to mean different things individually, but when performed one right after another they become a unified whole.

Perhaps the single most impressive thing about THE LARAMIE PROJECT is its refusal to "take sides." The play presents its characters and their words with commenting in favor of them or against them; you are instead allowed to interpret for yourself. The result is uniquely powerful. Strongly recommended.

GFT, Amazon Reviewer
For a year and a half following the murder of Matthew Shepard, Moises Kaufman and his Tectonic Theater Project-whose previous play, Gross Indecency, was hailed as a work of unsurpassed originality-conducted hundreds of interviews with the citizens of Laramie, Wyoming, to create this portrait of a town struggling with a horrific event.

The savage killing of Shepard, a young gay man, has become a national symbol of the struggle against intolerance. But for the people of Laramie-both the friends of Matthew and those who hated him without knowing him-the tragedy was personal. In a chorus of voices that brings to mind Thornton Wilder's Our Town, The Laramie Project allows those most deeply affected to speak, and the result is a brilliantly moving theatrical creation.

(Classic Fannie Flagg)

(A Novel of the Cast of People in a Small Southern Town)

(Fun Reading)

(Book purchase)

(Enjoyable read)

Fannie Flagg never disappoints me and this book stands as a prime example of her fluid writing style.The story is fascinating, engrossing...
This is a delightful and light-hearted book that deals with serious and deep subject matter.

Evelyn, a middle-aged woman in an oppressive marriage (1950's mentality) befriends Ninny, an older woman in a nursing home. Through her Ninny's encounters and tales, Evelyn finds out who she is and gains a sense of self-respect.

The books chapters deal with the small town of Whistle Stop and the people who live there. It centers on Idgie and Ruth and their son, Stump. Idgie and Ruth are obviously a lesbian couple but this is never overtly stated in the book.

In the deep south, Whistle Stop's tales and people run the gamut from the Ku Klux Klan, atheists, super-religious folks, batterers, black, white, good and bad. The people are are human and though some tales are hard to believe, you hope they are true. Idgie is a real trip!
Our book club suggested reading Fried Green Tomatoes. I read it years ago, saw the movie and thought I don't want to reread this. Wrong thought. The book was great. It is one of those I can read it all in one day. It jumped back from the present to the past. You felt like you were actually there.

It brought up allot of things about the old south with the clan, people's opinions of black people and what allot of people thought about blacks.....as who cares what color they are, they are people just like you and me. It was a good representation of what the TRUE south was really like.

Enjoyed reading the book. Everyone in the book club will be coming to the house on Tuesday where we will not only discuss the book but enjoy the delicious recipes that are in the back. We will then watch the movie and discuss the differences between the book and the movie. Sounds like a fun day,
product received was as advertised, and in great condition. Would buy from this vendor again.
I loved the movie and I loved the book, although in differnt ways. The book has a slew of minor characters that would be too confusing for the movie. If you are a fan of Southern fiction, this book is a must. Even if you're not, check out this title.

* Nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Recording *

Here is a folksy and funny, endearing and affecting, southern-fried tale about two very special friendships - now available in Price-Less!

In a small town near Birmingham sits the Whistle Shop Cafe, a place alive with the hungry, the heartbroken, the righteous and the garrulous. The cafe is owned by sweet, patient Ruth, and by Idgie, irresistibly big-hearted and big-mouthed. Their story is remembered, years later, in the Rose Terrace Nursing Home. As elderly Cleo Threadgoode chats with her visitor - the over-stuffed, overwrought, menopausal Evelyn Couch - she casts a hypnotic narrative spell: honeysuckle vines and custard pies; births, deaths and marriages; sorrow and laughter; an occasional murder - and even the recipe for fried green tomatoes. And as the past reaches into the present, the Whistle Sop Cafe touches the one thing missing from her existence: life.
