In a futuristic world, a mix of medieval and eighteen century eras, Toby is a blind guy who lives with his family. He is from a wealthy family and his family wants a good marriage for him (it seems that same sex marriage is a common thing in this world). But every time someone sees him and his blindness, the betrothal never happens.

Then he meets Derik, a good man, not so wealthy like him but gentle and caring. But Derik is orribly scared, scars he has suffered during a captivity in enemies hands. Love blossoms soon, but Toby's family is not so happy to see his only son with that ugly man.

A short story very tender and heartbreaking. Toby is not totally blind, he can see shadows and colors, and so he matches voices and sounds with colors. For him Derik is dark colors, but at the same time warm colors. And Derik is shy to love Toby, cause he is a beauty. But they are a perfect match, and not cause Toby is blind and Derik is ugly, but cause Toby enlightens the shadows in Derik's life.

I'm waiting for Torquere Press to re-release this short story by Mike Shade, and I'm very happy to have a chance to read it: it's simple and cozy, a very warming reading.

Raj and Sean are college roommates. But Raj is from an old fashioned indian family and he can's make outing. So at more than twenty years old he is still virgin, having no interest in girls and denying himself the pleasure of boys.

But Sean, his rommate, has hots for him and when he sees the chance to bed his cute friend, he not lets it go.

This is really only a sex scene, but very hot and enjoyable: in few words Sedonia Guillone manages to let us imagine an intire world and leave us with the longing to know more about these two cute and tender characters.

Sean is strong but caring, Raj is shy and needing of Sean's cure to fly free. Absolutely delightful!

This is a sip, a brief story with a little tinge of sadness mixed with jamaican music.

Cliff lives in a canadian border small town. He is an outsider, the only black man in towm and he is also gay. Fortunately he has known the only other gay man in town, Mitch; unfortunately he is not attracted by him. But he is very much drawn by the jamaican apple pickers who work in Mitch's orchard.

And one night Mako, a tall and handsome jamaican picker, knocks at his door: it's a dream comes true and Cliff picks up his chance with the picker, even if I don't understand anything Mako says, cheers to C.B. Potts to have decipt the man and also his language in a so realistic manner. But the morning after Cliff has to face the jelaousy of Mitch: for the handsome picker or... for him?

A really enjoyable short story. Cliff is a grown man trapped in a small town with the desires of a grown man and with the opportunity of a teens to get laid: nothing! Mako is an happy to go man, maybe neither gay, but with an open mind regarding sex.

I have to make my compliments to Torquere Press for this Sip series: they are all little treasures.
