Another surprise. I have read Master of Obsidianan by Jamie Craig (who is really two person, Pepper Espinoza and Vivien Dean) and when I have bought Brindisi Bedfellows I was thinking to buy something similar: sex, drama and more sex. Good for me, but instead I have found something different.

Brindisi Bedfellows is a contemporary tale about two men and their quest for love. Christian has a some years relationship with Andrew and the eve of their departure for a long time desired holiday in Italy, Andrew announces to Christian that he has decided to return with his ex, and never forgotten, wife. As excuse, Andrew said, he has never hidden to Christian that he is still in love with her.

So Christian ends in a pub, trying to forget himself in alcohol and Trip, Andrew's best friend, and fuck buddy, behind Christian's back, comes along. Alcohol or loneliness make Christian asks Trip to go in Italy with him. And not only as friend. Three weeks of sun and sex and then again in London and everything is out. Cause Christian doesn't really like Trip and Trip, fashion photographer, can be interested in a white collar as Christian. But maybe Trip is not so vain as appears and Christian not so prim and proper...

The discovery of this novel is the sex. There is a lot of sex, but I find it not for free. It's warm and cosy. It's like a blanket in winter. Christian and Trip make love and then slip on dream kissing each other like two teens. They awake together and prefer to cuddle in the sheet instead of giving a mindless blowjob. Sex is hot but it's also comforting and caring.

Christian and Trip are at the opposite in life but on the same level during love. There is not a top or bottom (and not only as sex position). Maybe I have a soft spot for Trip, I think he can be easily wonded than Christian, but he also the first person to admit his feelings.

Brindisi Bedfellows is a novel that will leave you with peaceful feelings and a better perspective on life: you haven't to go far to find true love.

Finally I can buy my copy of Bloodraven (available both in print then in ebook version!).

If you want an idea how interesting this book is, you have only to know that I, even if I have just read the story on the author's website (she has posted every chapter soon after writing them), now that I have the chance to buy the ebook I'm glad to pay for it: P.L. Nunn deserves it, for sure.

Yhalen lives in a fantasy world, of magic and medieval fashion. He is a son of the forest, lives a peaceful life. But suddenly death and destruction shatter his world and he is raped and nearly killed by huge beings called Ogres. After some days of unbelievable pain and humiliation, Yhalen is given as sex slave to Bloodraven, an halfling ogre. Bloodraven is huge and green (!) but his eyes are clever and he is not a cruel man. Sure he uses Yhalen for sex, non consensual sex in the beginning, but he tries not to bring pain to him.

At the beginning Bloodraven seems to consider Yhalen more or less like a sex toy, and during the story Bloodraven remains distant and reclusive. You will never full understand this huge man-ogre, but you will understand that he feels for Yhalen. And Yhalen can't prevent himself to reciprocate the feelings. And to begin to desire, better to crave for the halfling. Even when he can set himself with something more suitable to him, Yhalen can't force himself to abandon Bloodraven. 

Can't and force are the right term in this story, cause this is a strong story of undrivable events that push Yhalen towards his destiny, a destiny he maybe doesn't want, but he has to accept.

The book is long and strong and passionate. You have to want to read him, cause is not a simple reading. But I assure you, it deserves your time.
