To Touch the Stars by Sienna Black

The Talkirk is a post apocalyptic warlord who reign on a cairn in an unknown planet. His word is law. He has only one weak point: he likes young guys and he has twelve of them in an atipical harem inside the cairn. One time every year he chooses another guy for his pleasure.

This year, during the usual "guys fair" a man stands above the other: Lucan is a Pureblood, who descends directly from the people who arrive on the planet with a starship. Lucas is beautiful, his skin is pale, cause his people live underground, his hair are black and his eyes bright, beautiful and... blind.

But he claims to be here to help the Talkirk and to save him and his cairn. He will do anything to convince the Talkirk, also give himself to prove that. And the Talkirk accepts the offer and claims his body. But with his body, Lucan surrenders also his hearth.

This is a very interesting reading, maybe a little to short. I have read another novel by Sienna Black, Coyote Rain, and also in that case the plot was very interesting but the novel too short. I will be very happy to have the opportunity to read something more by Sienna Black, maybe a little longer?

From This Beloved Hour by Willa Lambert

This for me is a very strange reading, since maybe last time I read an harlquin was 15 years ago.

But I read this one cause Willa Lambert is the "woman" pen name of William Maltese and I know that he is rewriting it in M/M version (title Gold Sands), so I want to read both version to better notice the diversity.

Jenny Mowry is a 29 years old virgin archaeologist. She is in Egypt to work with Peter Donas, an older archaeologist, who happen to be also an handsome man and the grandson of the lover of the Jenny's gradmother, a clandestin affair ended with the tragic death of the woman.

So when they fall in love, Jenny is sure their love will not survive and she finds every excuse to not believe in the sincerity of Peter. Plus she is wooing by Abdul, an handsome sheikh. And Jenny is jelaous of Peter because he spends his spare time with another female... a beautiful female of peregrine hawk!!!

This is a novel that alternate funny moment to tragedy, all mixed up to give us a story that, after 25 years, is still fresh and enjoyable.
