Carved In Memory (The Exile) by Adrianna Dane

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Here a story which is really a shame that is soo short, less then 35 pages...

The Exile is a series featuring some exiled inhabitants of the mythical Isle of Mannos, and all male island where the primary scope is pleasure and where the men are divided into Acquisitor and Receiver.

Alonzo was a receiver, but he made a great mistake, the sin the be too proud to accept mindly the will of an Ancient Master and now he is exiled in the mainland. He has not a bad life, but the worst punishment he has is the knowledge that he can return to Mannos.

Alonzo knows that he can't be able to love a man, and so he tries to ignore the blossimg love of Angel-boy, a street guy he has helped. He has bought a shop and rent it to Angel-boy, giving the guy a work and also an home. Angel-boy trades ancient manufact, and now he has found a piece from the Isle of Mannos, something he knows that Alonzo wants badly. But to give it to Alonzo, Angel-boy wants in exchange an entire night in bed with him.

Only when Alonzo will manage to overcome some of his issues, he will give a chance to Angel-boy to enter his life...

As I said the story is very short, much too short, cause Alonzo and Angel-boy are two characters who deserves a little more. Also in the previous story in the Exile series, I had the feeling to read only a prequel to a much more interesting and complex story. But I don't understand if Adrianna Dane is preparing something more, or if this is all she wants to give us.
