Review by CactusWelcome to Damon’s, the hottest club in town — the must-go place for every single gay Elf (or Human) around.
Alyan’s life has gone down the tubes. After a painful breakup with his long-time lover and boss, he’s shut himself off, trying to mend his broken heart. His sister, however, has other plans. Meredith’s not willing to let Alyan wallow in self-pity any longer. Deaf to his protests, she drags him to Damon’s big Friday night event — speed dating.
Alyan’s trying to play along, but he’s really not interested in a one-night fling. No matter how many years — or lovers — have passed, something always brings him back to Damon’s. Not something. Someone. The man who’s everything Alyan is not — confident, charming and charismatic. What Alyan truly wants is the owner of the club, Damon himself. But he’d better get a move on, before he ends up with a Troll.
When a century’s old unrequited crush between elves finally sparks, these two stop at nothing to fulfill their fantasies. Alyan is finally back in the dating scene after a painful breakup, forced into trying out speed dating at a popular bar. Unfortunately his age old crush doesn’t seem to be biting so Alyan takes a chance on a good looking one night stand. When he realizes the next morning no one but Damon will do, Alyan finally approaches the man to explosive results.

Once suffering from the disease, do not be too nervous, and acquisition de viagra devensec.com remained optimistic.
This new series from the author has some of her trademark style while introducing a new cast of characters and a new setting. The short story (45 pages) hinges too much on the hot, dynamic sex between men and not enough on the connection and characterization. In fact, the story has very little depth and substance beyond the hot sex – which is wonderfully rough, masculine, and erotic. The story is loosely about Alyan and Damon finally getting together after a dance of long distance flirting for several decades. However, there is no background beyond that statement and neither man have any internal musings to help fill in the gaps of their shared history. The men ultimately are superficial and sexy, making this a fun guilty pleasure reading but still leaves you wanting more.
The sex scenes are extended and fill the majority of the pages, although some of the acrobatics are impossible and the story failed to tell how the men got from one position to the next sometimes. Similarly there is little to no world building beyond the statement that elves and human mingle in this new world. Unfortunately this solitary fact is not enough to create an entirely new world with fantasy beings. I wanted more depth from the world building to the characters to the main relationship and connection. Although the men end on an artificially happy note, I didn’t believe their professions of love – which seemed forced and automatic, given their lack of conversation.
Overall, this is a guilty indulgence for fans of the author who are looking for some hot, rough sex and not much story. I certainly enjoyed the erotica scenes as they made up the majority of the book and hope that future sequels will have more plot and depth to the characters and story and less gratuitous sex scenes, even if they are hot. There is a hanging ending and numerous loose ends such as characters and situations yet to be resolved so be sure to get this first book. Take a chance and pick up this story for fun and let’s hope the next has more meat to it (other than just the men).
