Finnian is a centuries years old merman. He has a wonderful life undersea: he is a prince, the son of the king, he has a beautiful mate, a merman like him named Anifiel, and one day he will spawn some beautiful offspring with Muriel, a mermaid.

But Finnian is sad, he is fascinated by John, a widow he sees every year on the beach. John come on his summer house every year for the birthday of his beloved lost wife. He still mourning the death of his wife and his daughter, and wants nothing from the life. Then one day a siren, a vicious creature, try to kill him and Finnian rescues him.

But the punishment of Finnian is the exile from his companions and Thetis, the siren, makes a pact with him: if Finnian will give his beautiful voice to Thetis, Thetis will give the humanity to Finnian. And Finnian accepts. He wants to try to love and live with John.

But John is scared: Finnian like a human his a young boy with the look of a teenager and easily mistaken with a girl. John isn't gay and can't absolutely love a boy who has, maybe, less than half his years.

Finnian is a naive character; he can't understand why John can't love him, and everything his new for him; he doesn't understand the difference between man and woman, and why someone can love one and not love another. John is a supporting character: he doesn't have a strong hold in the story; I like him, but I don't have many chance to "know" him.

An interesting story, maybe a little too short. I'd like to read a little more about the life of Finnian like a man.

Catching a Buzz by Ally Blue

How can I decide who I love more between Adam and Buzz? they are two wonderful characters, but lately I begin to feel a soft spot for the Goth guys, so my vote goes to Buzz!

Adam is a perfect good boy next door, with a upper class behaviour and expensive taste. He goes to the college and has a quite good live, apart for an inner voice, embodied in a Scarlet O'Hara figure who uninterruptedly try to pair him with every guys around and for the fact that his parents don't know he is gay and uninterruptedly try to pair him with every girls around.

Then arrives Buzz, a goth guy with an easy behaviour and a more easy approach to sex. The first day he asks a date to Adam and Adam refuses, and so does for the next month. And then suddenly he accepts. And this lead to a mad night of sex and maybe love. But the morning after Adam and Buzz could find a common path to build something together, apart mindshattering sex?

This is a big detour from the usual angst romance by Ally Blue. Here there is no a sign of drama, but only sex and fun. It's a total adorable brief novel, who is perfect for the series Midsummer Night's Steam.

Nut Cream by Jade Buchanan

Toby is an half breed werewolf. For his human blood he has hit the puberty a bit later than his peers, and now, at 26 years old he is still virgin but he is entering his first mating season and the object of his desire his Cliff, his brother's best friend.

He can't hide his passion, cause his pheromones are clearly smelled by all the people around him and also Cliff smells it. And he likes this scent. Better he is aware that this is the scent of his fated mate and he is only expecting that Toby is full mature to claim him. And now, in this hot summer, the time is arrived.

This is a short sexy story, very funny and somewhat different from the Felidae series by Jade Buchanan I have read: more realistic (as realistic could be a werewolves story), but with the same lighthearted attitude. And also with the same pair, made of a strong alpha male and a cute omega puppy.

Custom Ride by K.A. Mitchell

A casual fuck in a club with a man he has never seen in face could be forever love?

A story starts like hot sex in every comfortable and uncomfortable places slids in a moral tale about the single fathers rights and above all gay fathers rights.

Ryan likes Jeff. He is a yelluva lover, not selfish and very hot. But Ryan is just out of four years in the Army passed hiding himself and he is not willing to continue the hiding to stay with Jeff, a in the closet single father with a bitch as mother of his beloved and lovely daughter.

Ryan is still suffering from is not easy position as outed gay and he is biased against Jeff. He is too ready to judge and condemn him, even before really understand his reasons. Jeff on the other hand, his an open character, so ready to open himself to Ryan and hungry for love. Even if Jess should be the negative character, in the end I find him a lot more nice and attractive than Ryan.

The story is really short and has some very interesting sex scene. Jeff is a very sexy and alluring character, worthy of all the story: mechanic, biker, tattoo man... what ask more?

Taboo Desires by Amanda Young

Cole and Eric are at the opposite. Cole is a near thirty man in the closet. Better he is not "in the closet" because he has not yet better understand if he is gay or not. He has a two years relationship with Karen and now Karen wants to marry. And Cole doesn't want. Cause by night, when he jerks off, is not Karen the image he build in his mind, but that of a faceless man.

Eric is a young college student who knows to be gay since he was 12 years old. He is not new to gay sex and he first fantasy, when he was a kid, was Cole, his brother's friend. And now he meets again Cole, soon after he has broken up with Karen. Can these two men build something together?

The story is pretty short and the answer to this last question you will not find here. But the plot, even if simple and brief, is very enjoyable. I like Cole, he is true to himself, he has not let the public opionin to bond himself in a false commitment he doesn't want. And when he finds his true desires, he is ready to put on jeopardy all his life.

Eric is young. He is like a teen who sees his dreams come true: he has the chance to make love to the object of his fantasy, and he has no intetion to let this chance slip away. But he is young and I don't know, in only 50 pages, if he will have the strenght to keep his dream. I will be happy if Amanda Young will let us know in the future.
