Violet Winspear was born on April 28, 1928 in England and died at the beginning of 1989.

Violet debued with the imprint in 1961 with the title Lucifer's Angel, the first of many "dark and dangerous" titles associated with her work. She caused a big controversy in 1970, when she claimed her heroes should "frighten and fascinate. They must be the sort of men who are capable of rape". This comment caused uproar and lead to her receiving hate mail.

In a futuristic world humans seem to be degraded to a primitive time. They no more fight for live, but use slaves as gladiators in arenas. A gladiator has no hope for freedom, even if he is the last one to survive. For him it means only a one more night before the next fight.

This time, Geoff, a human, a Ardis, a man with the pelt of an animal, are the two to survive. They don't hate each other, and so for this last night they decide to share a room and spend time healing each other and loving each other. Geoff has always been a slave, he doesn't know other life, but Ardis was a freeman, and tries to convince Geoff that outside the arena there is a world worthy to be seen.

The story is pretty short, less than 60 pages, but it's very enjoyable. Geoff and Ardis, even if strong warriors, aren't animal. They have feeling and dream, and the need for a lovely touch from another human being. In this short story there is more sex than what you would expect, but for me, who loves more the romance and less the war, it is a bonus. Maybe I'd like to be a bit longer, and I hope to have the chance in the future to read a entire M/M novel by Brenda Bryce.

01. Elaborate on your default icon.
When I first started my LJ, my default icon was the icon of my Cafe au Livre (and this is also the reason of my web address...), but since I have to renounce to it, I choose the rose; it's a picture of a rose blossom I took in Florence, Villa La Petraia, and for me means a new beginning.
