Book Review – His Client, by Ava March

Mr Nate Travers, nephew to a viscount and inheritor to a small shipping company, has been visiting Mme Delacroix genteel brothel for five years. Though he’s madly in love with his best friend, Peter Edmonton, he contracts the services of Jasper Reed exclusively during those five years. Nate and Jasper play sexy and wonderful games, using costumes and their own acting abilities to satisfy themselves thoroughly. Jasper, of course, falls completely in love with Nate, although he is never given the luxury of just having one client. Jasper continues to whore himself out at the brothel past his possible retirement date just to continue seeing Nate. On the eve of Peters’ marriage to a young woman, Nate whines and moans about the the pain and unfairness of loving someone who will never love him back. Jasper realizes that Nate will never really be with him, and finally retires to a lovely little cottage in an obscure village. Nate does finally come to his senses though, and all ends well. The sex was hot and well written, Nate and Jasper are pretty wonderful, although I don’t see how this can possibly end well for either of them

Book Review – Dangerous Ground, by Josh Lanyon

Will and Taylor are agents for the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which seems to be a federal agency, and have been work partners for 3 years. They take some time off together to camp and hike in the California foothills about a month after Taylor is shot on the job. Of course, they traipse into a mystery; a crashed plane, a parachuter decomposing in a tree. The 2.3 million in the backpack of the dead man in the parachute harness guarantees the arrival of bad guys. Will and Taylor are well drawn, the dialogue is cool and realistic, with no hokey leering or inconsistencies. The sex scenes were intimate and well written (and hot!). Their relationship develops as they work together to stay alive. I really enjoyed this story, there was just enough plot to keep me reading with no unnecessary flashbacks or info dumps. Well done! This was a free read on ARe, now I’ve got to go buy the rest

Book Review – If It Drives, by L.A. Witt and Aleksandr Voinov

There’s a little gay brothel in London town, the Market Garden, where a guy can get anyone he wants, or needs. James Harcourt is one of the needy ones; he’s a tremendously wealthy yet lonely investment banker who needs to get out of his own head every now and then. He’s been a regular at the Market Garden, as his driver Callum is painfully aware. He’s been crushing on his boss, and one night James can’t find his favorite at the garden, so he turns to Cal. Angst and hot sex ensue, and Cal goes way of his way to be everything James needs. This was a well written book, great story, I squeed at seeing Spencer and Nick again…. just a good read all around, and a great addition to the Market Garden series. I sure can’t wait to see Percy get his own 😉 also, great line – “so this is the Market Garden; Bankers, lawyers, and prostitutes. All the people who screwed other people for a living, converging in one dimly lit place where the booze flowed ”
