Necessary Temptation by A.D. Christopher

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Gray is a were-panther and also the eldest son of the Pride leader. In a world where female are very rare, same sex relationship are normal and only the proudest of the pride can claim a female. Other men will have a warrior-mate and maybe even a pretty good life. But not for Gray. Gray has to mate with a female to ensure the conitinuing of their line.

Every male from 15 years old to 25 years old has to pass a test every year. In publich they have to resist the temptation of ten men, one after the other. The men are Unfree, slaves of the Pride-born. If an Unfree manages to tempt a Pride-born, he can claim him as a warrior-mate and gain the freedom from slavery. And this year, the last of the test for Gray, Logan tempts him...

The story is pretty short, less than 70 pages, but I have like it a lot. I can catalogue it in the section, pure sex and mind-free reading for when you need to be distracted from reality. And this story is pretty good in doing this job. Hard body and rough sex: a good pair.

Gray should be the main character of the story, the alpha male who fight and win, but in this world, fight and win means not surrender to mind blowing sex with a beautiful man, so it's not wonder that Gray is not so eager to win, and everytime he convinces himself to be able to resist to temptation, the second after he is deeply involved with Logan. And Logan is not the classical submissive, nothing in him is submissive, he is instead very strong and affermative. But he knows what he wants and when he is with Gray, he can "allow" to the man to be in command.

So a good story, with the interesting characters, a lot of sex and not much plot (but with the sex, you don't need it...)
