Review by Fern

Faewolves, like werewolves, can walk among men. What happens when Kiya White Cloud, a young gay college student in Santa Cruz, wants one of these men enough to risk his heart–and his life? A paranormal m/m erotic romance from Circlet Press, Inc.

Writing a review for the unique and one of a kind, Faewolf, wasn’t easy. There were dark themes that ran deep, and the material wasn’t always easy to read. However, authors D.M. Atkins and Chris Taylor have managed to create something that, even as you long to turn away, you’ll find yourself unable to.

Kiya is an openly gay, and somewhat arrogantly proud, young-man. When you are first introduced to his character, you get a pretty decent look at him on the whole. When he sees something he wants, he’s not afraid to do what it takes to get it. Upon resting eyes on the luscious teacher’s assistant, Brian, he knows he’s found a man he cannot resist. Unfortunately, Brian rebukes his advances, citing it as inappropriate.

Brian is a Faewolf — half fae, half wolf. As his race continues to dwindle, he has left his pack in search of answers. For acute pain, the physical therapist may focus on decreasing pain with passive levitra on line try for more info physical therapy (modalities). Some marriages have broken simply because the man cannot have firm erections. viagra 25 mg http://www.donssite.com/internetbarroom/index.htm Men in UK trust this brand due to its india generic tadalafil excellent results. An allergic tendency to the drug ingredients and a history of recent attack, suffered from angina, liver disease, kidney disorder, thyroid donssite.com discount viagra dysfunction, diabetes or addiction to the alcoholic beverages should be informed at the time of consultation as these conditions are extreme sensitive to tolerate the drug’s impact. Now, he is a lone wolf, which is a sad existence for someone of his nature. When he meets Kiya, his wolven half (which is referred to as Saio) comes to life. Both man and wolf want Kiya, but as a wolf, Saio can be dangerous, and Brian doesn’t wish to place Kiya in harm’s way. When Kiya is attacked by a former lover, neither Saio nor Kiya have a choice. A friendship is formed as well as a bond, and as they become closer.

Although the work is cleanly edited and has portions you can’t put down, I found the voice and outlook of Kiya to be disturbingly childlike-like at times, and got the impression I was reading about a teenager versus an adult. I understood that Kiya is in college, but considering the content involved, I was slightly uncomfortable with his maturity level. A large reason for this is that Faewolf contains explicit sexual scenes and themes (including violence, bestiality, forced sexual situations), including one in which the protagonists are forced to have sex while Brian is in wolf form and they are being filmed. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, and I should warn that if that sort of thing is a turn-off for you, it is something to reflect upon when choosing whether or not the story would be something you might enjoy.

With that said, by tackling the taboo(s) in erotica, and allowing Brian’s/Saio’s nature to be revealed on page versus behind closed doors, the authors also ensure the material is original and uncensored. Faewolf is raw, unabashed, and captures the emotion and depth of the characters portrayed, which means you witness everything. This is not your typical shifter romance, but it is a story that will remain with you after you’ve finished.

Although not suitable for everyone, I would recommend Faewolf to those who like dark, original works. If you like to find material that pushes the envelope, you won’t be disappointed by this story.

Five lesbian fairytales that feature classic stories like “Cinderella” and “The Princess and the Pea” with a queer twist. What are the erotic possibilities of the enchanted princesses and forbidding queens that we learned about as children? Discover the love story between Gretel and the Witch and the intoxicating tale of Cinderella’s seductively severe stepmother. It wasn’t a pea in her mattress that kept the Princess up all night, and the story didn’t end when the Prince found Snow White in the woods. Instead of competing for princes or beauty, the women in these stories are made more powerful by their desire for each other. Includes stories by ADR Forte, Michael M. Jones, Kaysee Renee Robichaud, Clarice Clique and Quatre Grey.

Fairy tales. We all grew up with them, but not these. You want to squirm while reading a tale of fancy, then you need to read Like a Queen.

Now there are some stories that need a second or third interpretation. I applaud these authors for taking stories we all know in directions we might not have guessed. But if the intention is to titillate and to scandalize, then these stories fit the bill. If you want soft and sensual, you might want to look elsewhere.

In Mirror, we have the story of Snow White if she was truly a witch and attracted to the evil witch. This is an interesting spin on the sweet story we know from childhood. I liked seeing Snow White for the woman she may have been and I liked seeing the HEA she ends up with.

In Queen’s Jewel, we meet a woman who’s about to be married, but she has to pass muster with her soon to be mother-in-law. If you want a story that’s sensual and erotic, then this is the one. But I wasn’t impressed with the relationship. The idea of reading about a woman who makes love with her future mother-in-law and then agrees to marry the man anyway isn’t my thing, but it may be yours.

Third, we have Gretel’s Dilemma. Set reasonable cheapest cheap viagra desires for yourself and request help when you require it. Some of physical reasons which may cause erectile dysfunction and leads to prostate cancer too. sale free viagra consultation Therefore, the body gets energy, strength and stamina to perform in http://amerikabulteni.com/2015/03/16/obama-hristiyanligini-sorgulayan-valiye-sakayla-takildi-selamun-aleykum-vali-scott/ cheap tadalafil online bed. This is the medication used to treat erectile dysfunction as well as impotence. continue reading that drugstore cheap tadalafil 20mg Imagine Hansel getting away from the witch only to find that his sister, Gretel is attracted to the green-skinned meanie? What impressed me about this story was the idea that you can go home and you can be happy in your own skin. Yes, she loved the witch, but she also loved her family. That made the story powerful.

After the Hunt shows that a platonic love between a man and a woman can be enough if the woman and another woman are in love. I liked the mind games and physicality of this story. The alpha is the woman and it’s interesting and different. I think this was my favorite of the collection.

The final story, The Stepmother’s Girl made me squirm in many ways and most of them weren’t good. I understand the idea of a Dom/sub. It’s exciting. But, I’m not a fan of intense pain and harm coming to the sub. Yes, she proved her devotion, but it didn’t come across as sexy or sensual to me. It seemed degrading with no love behind it. But if you want to be titillated, then this story is for you.

Like a Queen is not for the faint of heart. It’s fairy tales for big kids. You want sex and sin, then this is the collection for you. I give it 3 cherries.

Like a Prince Anthology

Five gay fairy tales that feature classic stories like “The Beauty and the Beast” and “Cinderella” with a queer twist. What are the erotic possibilities of the dashing princes and dark forbidden forests that we learned about as children? Stories range from the charming tale of a mischievous Cinderella to the deliciously dark story of a modern-day Little Red Riding Hood complete with a real-life wolf. A mysterious young prince needs help from a beautiful young king in “The Goose Boy,” and Beauty and the Beast gets a sexy retelling in “Captivated.” Includes stories by Elizabeth Schechter, Julie Cox, Kiernan Kelly, Alexandra Erin, and Monique Poirier.

Some stories are meant for children. Others are meant for adults to enjoy with pleasure. This is a collection of those stories. Like a Prince is one collection you won’t want to miss.

This is indeed one of those collections that isn’t for the faint of heart. The passion sizzles and the sex, well, it’s hot.

In Captivated, we meet Tyr and Bruin. Now this story is the tale of a man who needs acceptance, not only from his mate, but from himself. Some scars are easily healed and others, the ones you can’t see, are harder to deal with. I liked how Tyr and Bruin worked together to mend more than just their hearts.

In Two Balls, we find that Cinderella had two balls. Now that may sound strange, but this is the story of a man abused by some not so nice women. Although I wished that the Cinderella character had a bit more chutzpah, I liked the premise and how the story followed the well-known version of the tale. My favorite part is the acceptance on the part of the prince. OCD appears tadalafil 20mg generic to run in families and it affects men in the same way with women and does not indicate persistent erectile problems in the future and do not want to discuss about it at all to anyone. Acai’s calcium content also helps reduce menstrual pain and associated radicular pain into the leg, buttock, foea.org order cheap viagra or arms to name a few. They energize the whole body system and a man gets stimulated his brain levitra free samples sends some signals to the nerves around the phallus to enhance the blood flow within the body that result in strong erection throughout sexual intercourse. For this particular issue there are many medicines in the market that simply normalize india viagra online the working of the penis. I wish more people had such open minds.

Le Petit String Rogue (The Little Red G-string) was my least favorite. The idea of a wolf-shifter preying on exotic male dancers was interesting, but if you want a HEA, then this one isn’t the story for you. This version came across as more sex with a bit of plot rather than a story. If you want hot sex, then this story is for you.

The Goose Boy captivated me. How one man can deal with so many kicks in the butt is beyond me, but I loved how Giles took each problem with grace and dignity. The ending made me smile and warmed my heart. If you want a love story that bursts with love, passion, hot sex and a meanie that totally gets what is deserved, then this story is for you.

The final contribution, To Market, is a perplexing story of a man dealing with his emotions and his needs while trying to find his place in society. I liked that the goblins in this story were sexy, not gross looking. It made the pairing more realistic and understandable. I liked Conn’s noble idea of sacrificing himself to save his friend. Again, this story blisters with red-hot sex.

If you want a collection of stories guaranteed to make you hot under the collar, squirm in your seat, and most of all think, then you need to read Like a Prince. I give this collection 3 cherries.

Review by Mistletoe

Five classic fairy tales reemerge as deliciously dark erotica stories with a BDSM twist. These stories describe the many diverse faces of bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism in sexy encounters ranging from haunting to healing, and painful to playful. You’ll discover .how a witch really likes to punish naughty interlopers, why Beauty might love her beast more than the prince, how to produce handy bruises when a pea just won’t do the trick–and more. Ranging from present day to “once upon a time” settings, each story offers a fresh perspective to both legend and BDSM.

We all grew up on fairy tales, weaving our own dreams of a prince and happy-ever-after. Have you ever wondered what the darker side of those stories might be? Have you ever found yourself wanting something to read with a little more spice and a lot less sugar? I know I have.

Like A Thorn gives the reader quick look into the steamier side of things. Showing us the pain and pleasures of a few of the characters that are so very well known to us. It is defiantly a different view of the stories we have grown up on. A darker and as some might say a more sinister side to all of the fairy tales we have all read growing up.

What would it be like if The Beast had to choose between a simple beautiful girl and a woman who knew how to make him happy? One will turn him back to a prince but the other will keep him very happy in the form he is in. How about if you married a young rich man with a nasty reputation. One that is thought to have killed all of his previous wives. A study found that the risk was sildenafil super active increased among men who cycled for over three hours a week. Adcirca works to widen the blood vessels in the male organ fill with blood the well response the sexual stimulation and cause erection after penetration. tadalafil sales http://downtownsault.org/event/memorial-day-parade/s are capable to make organ erect after a certain duration of minutes. cialiss have helped ED men gaining fuller erections during the intercourse activity.

A princess and her lady in waiting figure out just how to pass the test of the pea under the mattress to win the heart of the prince. Stories and dilemmas like this are what make up this anthology.

When Greta and Han are caught in the act of stealing they must take their punishment. A punishment dealt by the lady of the house, Circe. Definitely a hot story, as is this entire anthology. It gave me a look at each writer’s style and imagination and endeared all the characters to me just as quickly and easily as the original fairy tales did.

Each story was certainly a different and a quick read with a good flow. Every one stood out on its own merits. This book is definitely not a read for the faint of heart. If you enjoy reading stories on the edge this one is for you. I would be interested to see just what these authors could do with other well-known tales. So sit back, open your mind and indulge in this story – you may discover that you enjoy it very much.
