Wendy Warner is a bit of an oddball. Raised in an orphanage, she has found solace and friendship by watching the television show, Space Adventures, and participating in fan clubs related to the show. Every month, on the second and third Friday, Wendy comes to work dressed in a costume from the show that she wears to charity events. This has earned her the disdain of many of her coworkers but not from her boss, the president of the company, Draco Powers, who rather likes the way the uniform hugs all her curves in the just the right places.

Draco Powers is a real-life Superhero who told the world that, yes, Superheroes do exist, but, no, we won’t work for free or without health insurance. Some people refer to him with derision as the “Capitalist Superman.” Draco is being hunted by an organization called the Organization, whose motives are unclear and yet still cause death and destruction wherever they go.

The Organization has decided that Draco’s biggest weakness is the way he cares about his employees and has picked Wendy out as their next target. To save her, Draco will have to come to terms with his real feelings for Wendy and why it is that he has so long resisted complicated relationships. But he’s running out of time . . . .

A man who can fly and the woman who loves him battle an evil foe whose idea of living in peace is as virulent as any dictator’s.

Wendy is the heroine in the truest sense of the word. She saves the day, not in the world sense, but in her man’s. She is a capable and dedicated woman who takes pride in her work and has a type A personality. She is many things but one thing she is not is confident in her own appearance. Yet that doesn’t stop her from wearing a special outfit because she does it for the greater good. She’s got a lot of heart, compassion and determination and that holds her in good stead when she gets faced with the unthinkable. Wendy is also a geek, and a loveable one at that. She’s also pretty funny, even when she doesn’t intend to be. I loved it when she jumped to conclusions at one point. It made for some hysterical reactions from the person they were about. Total entertainment and it endeared her character to me.

Draco is sort of like Superman but with a 9 to 5 job just like everyone else. Okay, not like everyone else, because he’s got this gig where he fights crime all over and he flies to get there. His character certainly is unique, and I really enjoyed Ms. A person can consume the pill and experiences long lasting firm effects through the medication. tadalafil india The evidence shows men find erectile dysfunction is a common sexual viagra professional for sale trouble, faced by a large number of studies conducted over the years have highlighted how sildenafil citrate is one of the best medicinal products to tackle erectile dysfunction.

If anything physical or emotional is being interfered with any or all of such three things, the man could levitra generic cheap experience issues in achieving a full erection. Royce’s depiction of a man who really is just a man but no one sees him as he wants to be seen. You know, like a regular guy? The thing is, I think for a time Draco bought into the whole thing and although he’s this hero with special powers he doesn’t believe in himself – that he doesn’t deserve what everyone else does because he has to carry the weight of the world. Sounds like a major chip on his shoulder doesn’t it? And unreasonable. That is why Wendy is so good for him – she doesn’t buy into his own media hype. There’s some good inner conflict and even some secrets that dog Draco. I also enjoyed finding out exactly how amazing a personality he actually ends up being. The author brought more depth to him than I expected.

Secondary characters are important in this story. Some are for comic relief and some are for truly dastardly machinations but all of them were written to perfection. There is nasty office politics, a sweet friend who wished he was more, Draco’s endearing and totally hot brother, Ace, and the really cool science fiction element that made this book so fun to read. It was like King Kong meets Mr. Roboto on an episode of Star Trek. What a great scene that was!

There were other cool elements I liked about this story; like how the witches at the office get theirs, that I had no idea who the bad guy was and I enjoyed being surprised, and I liked the humor and the brisk and witty dialogue. This ended up being a quick read because I couldn’t put it down and I laughed out loud many times throughout.

Screw Superman is a book as delightful as its clever title. I absolutely recommend this story to readers who like laugher with their adventure and sighs and heated cheeks during the steamy parts of the romance. I think this story isn’t written as hot as it might have been but that made it perfect for me. I adore a book that can make me giggle and snort in the middle of the night. Yes, I stayed up late reading this story until I finished it. I enjoyed myself that much and I expect other readers will too. Even the happily ever after wrapped up on a positive and upbeat note. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a story to uplift their mood and turn their frown upside round. Screw Superman is the most fun (funnest) romance I’ve read in a long while and I can’t wait to read more by the talented Ms. Royce.

Benedict Abernathy, an untitled and wealthy gentleman visiting London, is heartily sick of his celibate existence. Determined to leave his shattered heart behind and move on with his life, he accepts an invitation for a night of debauchery in the arms of London’s infamous courtesan, Lottie Townsend.

. . . . she will indulge his every desire.

Lady Charlotte Goodchild has fallen far from privilege and longs for one night of pleasure with the man she loves. But Benedict must be spared the truth of her ruin at all costs. Posing as Lottie Townsend, a notoriously discriminating courtesan and old friend, she disguises her identity and invites Benedict to share the night of passion that fate denied them.

Benedict Abernathy is tired of being celibate and eagerly accepts an invitation for a night of pleasure with one of London’s infamous courtesans, Lottie Townsend. However, it’s not Lottie who attends to his needs, but her friend Lady Charlotte Goodchild who wants to give him the night of passion that fate denied them.

The author does a great job describing Lottie’s house and its lavish furnishings.

The efficacy of getting viagra online medication including Kamagra pills in treating erectile dysfunction is well known all over and not popular. It’s one of the pleasures of reading a Regency romance, and Ms. Boyd didn’t disappoint. I hadn’t realized this story was just 29 pages and my concern was how the author would handle this storyline in such a short time. She does so by drawing us right into the story and introducing the two characters in a vivid enough way we feel we’ve been reading about them for at least a couple of chapters.

By its plot description you know this is going to be a hot, sexy read – so the scene leading up to the first time they make love is very nicely drawn out. For me what added to the tension was knowing it’s Charlotte and not Lottie and that these two people have a history. The dialogue is very natural sounding, especially for the period. They’re likable characters, and secondary ones are used well in such a short story. Ms. Boyd packs lots of plot into these 29 pages. If you like a short, sexy Regency romp, or you’re looking for a story that you can read in less than 30 minutes, I recommend this one.

Dante knew Daniel was the man for him the minute he said his first curse word. He was everything Dante could ever want in a sub: gorgeous, spunky, and totally into the lifestyle Dante enjoyed most. But nothing is ever as simple as it should be. When Dante gets called away on business he expects to be gone for a couple of weeks. He figures to claim Daniel when he comes home, but two weeks quickly turn into six months.

When Dante finally returns, everything he’d been looking for in a mate is gone. Daniel’s been assaulted and beaten by a Dom out of control. He no longer trusts anyone—including Dante.

Determined to find the man he knows Daniel can be, Dante moves Daniel into his home and his life. But along with Daniel’s insecurities and lack of trust, Dante has to fight the Dom that assaulted Daniel in the first place and a host of other misunderstandings before he can prove to Daniel that what they have is worth fighting for.

Author Stormy Glenn has officially made it as one of my must read authors. I was completely and utterly blown away by this story. She actually left me speechless. Speechless, people!

Dante and Daniel’s ability to believe and trust one another is awe-inspiring. Living in the BDSM scene requires an extreme amount of trust in your partner, but this couple takes trust even a step further. After Daniel’s traumatic experience it would take almost a miracle for him to learn to love and trust in anyone. Luckily Dante is willing to stick by his side and do whatever it takes to make Daniel whole again. The author did a great job building the relationship both characters needed, which ensures they will be memorable characters.

The closeness of all of the characters in this story was admirable. Not only did Dante and Daniel seem to have a great relationship and learn to depend on each other, they could also depend on Joey, Logan and eventually Jack as well. Distribution is also via a distinct program so no one downtownsault.org brand viagra canada has to know what you purchased.

She also includes giving helpful criticism and valuing each person http://downtownsault.org/did1160.html viagra buy usa in the class, including oneself. If you http://downtownsault.org/thefoundary/ canadian cialis no prescription eat too much food it is obvious to face problem in the erection. Because of the circumstances surround Daniel and Dante it was extremely important that they have this outside support system. I think that their continuous presence in this story really added richness to it. I have not read Call Me Sir, but reading this story definitely has me thinking I need to go back and see what it is about.

The conflict caused by the antagonist, while difficult to read, was really necessary in the plot and development in this story. Although Daniel and Dante’s relationship would have still developed without it the story would not have been as enjoyable. It definitely made Dante look at what he had and helped him realize he needed to do all he could to keep Daniel. It also really helped to demonstrate the depth of emotions each of these characters felt for one another.

It is worth mentioning that I marked this story as forced seduction because, although the scene is not actually in the story, it is discussed numerous times in the story in enough detail to be mentioned. It is the cause of the conflict as well as an important part of Dante and Daniel’s relationship. The forced seduction is not between Dante and Daniel, but between Daniel and another Dom.

Dante and Daniel’s relationship was definitely not based on sex. Although they did enjoy their sexual relations, they had so much more than a physical relationship. The happiness, respect and trust the had with and for each other was really what took center stage. They had the type of emotional attachment to one another that all couples strive to achieve. It definitely made me fall in love with the characters and showed me what an excellent author Stormy Glenn is by allowing me to experience the feelings along with the characters.

I am a critical person by nature and I could not find one thing to criticize in this story. Less than halfway through, I knew it would be one of my favorites. After completing the story I could not believe that I had finished it so quickly without even realizing it. I think I may have even pouted at the end because I wasn’t ready to leave Dante and Daniel. It was obvious that Stormy Glenn fell in love with her characters and in turn made me fall in love with them.

The only thing I have left to say is: All hail the chief of M/M storytelling: Stormy Glenn.

Half witch and half wolf, Ganda is like no other being on earth, but more than 3,000 years ago the love of her life, Colin, was killed and since then she’s remained an old black woman in the swamps of Louisiana. That was, until Joshua and Jessie Kaine showed up and brought her back to life.

Now on a mission to put her past to rest, Ganda visits Ireland, the land of her birth, and then the land of Colin’s death—Egypt. What she finds there isn’t the answer she’s looking for, but a mystery that will change her entire future.

This plot was mysterious, provocative and heartwrenching. The grief that Ganda experiences not only consumed her but me as well. And after so many years of mourning to then be given a slight glimpse of hope was an amazing twist.

There are a few things I do need to mention. One is that this story begins during the BC time period and then about half way through comes into present time. This story is also not for the faint of heart, at least sexually. While you can clearly see the love and affection between Ganda and Colin the sex can be very unsettling for some.

I think the author did a great job with the characters. I think the relationship and the emotions really showed through the entire story. However, your body can only sustain so much toxicity before it starts breaking down, cialis online sales http://cute-n-tiny.com/cute-animals/camouflage-kitty/ including but not limited to hyperactivity and inattention, difficulty starting and staying focused on tasks, poor short term memory and organizational skills, and impulsive behaviors. An eating regimen without common nourishment or juices, absence of activity, melancholy, push can all lead to low viagra doctor moxie, which if not treated the soonest can bring about erectile brokenness. It viagra tablets for women puts the system in a decent way. Since that time, Kamagra is being order levitra facilitated at reasonable price to give males healthy reproductive health. It was clear that Ganda and Colin not only loved each other, but also how much Ganda cared for the other characters. One thing that I enjoyed about Ganda was how even though she was probably the strongest character she allowed the males to take the lead if for no other reason but for them to feel like the hero. She did this with not only Colin but with her uncle Garan.

Whereas I loved this story, plot and characters, I think it would have been even better had the story been a bit longer so the author had more time to explain more about the secondary characters and sub-plots. I would really have loved to learn more about Willard and his reasons behind pursuing a fight that caused his two predecessors’ deaths.

The way the author merged fact and fiction was seamless. If you do not know Egyptian history you would not know which aspect of the story was fiction and fact. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for authors who can blend their worlds with the “real” world. It adds a certain amount of validity to a story that nothing else can. Rie McGaha really has a knack for this type of mixture that not too many authors can achieve, which definitely made the story worth reading.

Without giving too much away, I had been hoping for something less predictable. Maybe one can’t expect Rogan to gush apologies, but his willingness to lay the blame entirely at Drew’s feet didn’t sit well with me. In the climactic scene as well, the reader hopes Drew will be allowed to redeem himself. There was a sense of Errol Flynn homage in that last bit, so certain things can be forgiven, but it did feel a little too easy.

All in all, however, this was a fun, sexy read, one I’d recommend for summer beach reading where the waves will invoke the setting and perhaps the sweat trickling down your back won’t be entirely from the sun.

Zack Banning hasn’t had an easy time of it recently. After spending more than fifteen years in the Marines, he’s discharged due to a head injury received in combat. With no missions to run or people to save, it’s all he can do to get out of bed in the mornings. The pills the doctors have him on to keep his injury-induced delusions at bay don’t help the situation.

When he discovers a young man being accosted outside of a bar one night he sees it as a chance to feel the satisfaction of saving someone once again. He just doesn’t realize until it’s over that the young man came to the bar to warn him that someone is out to kill him. What Eljin tells him is a story so outlandish, Zack begins to wonder if he’s having one of his delusions. Because if Eljin’s story is true, the entire foundation of everything Zack believes just flew out the window.

Fleeing through the countryside with Eljin, Zack tries to understand everything without telling the man he’s nuttier than a fruitcake. But the more time Zack spend with Eljin, the more he wants him until he can’t think of ever being separated from the little elf.

They encounter a war between the elf worlds, the threat of human invasion, and a bias against humans. Zack and Eljin have to keep their wits about them as they try to save their home, their family, and themselves.

Dark Side of the Veil, the first book in the Dark Court series, had me engrossed from page one. Once I began reading Ms. Glenn’s new masterpiece, I couldn’t put the book down and now I’m shamelessly begging for the next book in the series.

Zack is one alpha male who knows how to protect the people he loves and whether or not he initially wants to admit it, he’s in love with Eljin. Although he grew up in an orphanage and admits that he doesn’t know what love looks like, it’s obvious that he knows how to express it when it comes to his friends, who are also Marines, and Eljin. The bantering between old Marine buddies just increased the humor and added more depth to the story because it provides the reader with a peek inside the life of Zack Banning, ex-Marine.

The story is well-written as the words flow smooth across the page like silk. The characters immediately came to life and leapt off the page to hold a special place in my heart. At the rate I’m going, I’ll need a second job to keep up with all of Ms. Glenn’s books because it’s obvious that I need every last one of her books in my collection.

Gunny, Doc, and Rocky are fantastic secondary characters in Dark Side of the Veil and I can’t wait to see what will happen next. Will they find Monte? Will Doc and Rocky embrace the love they have for one another? Will Conall find his soul mate and is his soul mate a human? How are the humans getting through the veil? What role does the UnSeelie play into all of this? While there are other questions that pop into my mind, I’m afraid if I mention them I’d give away too much of the story.

Ms. Glenn, I need the answers to these questions. You’ve kept me in suspense throughout the entire first book and now I need more and it’s an addiction that I’m willing to embrace. Is the next story about Gunny, or Doc and Rocky? More, by Goodness, I need more (as I beg shamelessly). You left me hanging on the edge of the cliff and I almost emailed you to find out where you are in writing the second book in the series. Okay, I’m sorry. I got a little carried away, but as you can see, I need my fix.

If you’re looking for a sexy, action-packed, heartfelt story that entails some scorching hot man-on-man loving and a few explosives thrown in for good measure to keep the bad guys away, then Dark Court: Dark Side of the Veil is the book to read. I will definitely recommend this one to my friends.

The story itself is somewhat basic with the familiar concept of a gay man being forced to get married but there is a modern twist to lead to a happy ending. The characters are somewhat developed but due to the short space, they are never fully three dimensional. Instead the story relies on a lot of telling about their background to explain the almost instant love that happens between them. There is also some angst and emotional drama due to a misunderstanding but easily resolved and something I wish hadn’t been included. The story actually would have been better without it. However, it wasn’t enough to put me off completely, and I did still enjoy the tale.

Overall for a quick, hot story Hot Damn does fill that niche. While it may not be an especially fresh plot, it’s an easy, fun, sexy and entertaining read.
