I’ve been reading a lot, though not much m/m or even romance *le gasp* but lately I devour anything I can find (thank god I have a good library).

Review: A Modest Proposal
A Modest Proposal by Felicitas Ivey
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
A Modest Proposal is an easy to read, light erotica tale. It has a touch of D/s, lots of sex and a thin plot mainly as a vehicle to turn pages and have more sex. It’s a fun enough read for something empty but satisfying – if you’re looking for a lot of sex and a little bit of futuristic yaoi world building to round it out. It’s not really that memorable or interesting for me but it’s a decent read and hits the spot for those wanting more erotica than romance. Continue reading

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Shepherd, Slave, and Vow is a fun, quick erotica story about a spoiled royal son that finally meets his match in a slave shepherd.

Review: The Saturnalia Effect
The Saturnalia Effect by Heidi Belleau
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Storm Moon Press continues to publish thought provoking, edgy, and very compelling stories. The Saturnalia Effect is no different and offers an absorbing and clever novella. It’s the perfect length to tease the reader but could easily have been longer and more involved. The short scene at the end attests to how much more the story still has to say. Nonetheless, TSE is a great quick tale that excites, engages, and leaves you wondering. My only criticisms are that the characters could have been explored more and the ending, which is both genius and a cop out. Continue reading
