Island of Temptation by Claire Thompson

Donovan is on cruise alone, after his girlfriend has dumped him for the fourth time cause he has forgotten thier first anniversary. He is a 27 years old successful lawyer, but all his money couldn't grant him an happy life.

Sam is an young artist on the edge of a brilliant career and his manager has sent him on cruise as benefit for the good money he has made with his first exhibition. He is bisexual, but his preferences go to men. And when he meets Donovan he likes what he sees.

Then they maroons together in a paradise island, all alone. But paradise not always is a good place to stay, above all if you are caged in it. But living together also brings out feeling that Donovan maybe doesn't want to discover... or maybe wants badly to discover. But a love blossoms in an deserted island could survive in the big city?

Donovan, the macho, eventually is the more fragile of the two: he is not confortamble with his feelings, has preconcepts he doesn't know to have, and even when he can admit his love, is not so simple to live it openly. Sam instead his more open and plain, he has no problem to admit his feelings but is also willingly to wait Donovan and to give him time to arrive to his own decision.

A very romantic story with an HEA like some old fascioned romance.

Space, Man by Sharon Maria Bidwell

Alex has been just dumped by his boyfriend and wants nothing then spend his winter in his partent's cottage, while they are abroad on holiday.

But he meets a strange man on the beach, with white hair, violet eyes and no able to speak, english or something else. He take him back home and after few days the stranger tentatively begin to talk... and to say him he is from another planet, he has no home and nobody to return... so maybe Alex can take him?

A very funny and tender story, about a man that fears the pain of the loss and about a space man who wants for the first time to be with another soul, to belong to another person.

I love all I have read by Sharon Maria Bidwell, and this little story gain a very special place in my preferences.
