Yaoi-Con 2008

All right, it's official, I have bribed my best friend, and travelling partner, to go to California next September, and be in San Francisco the last weekend during the Yaoi-Con 2008.

So, friends, will I find someone of you in San Francisco? I will be happy to take a real cup of coffee together!

Yaoi-Con 2008

Traveling to Home by Lorne Rodman

Young love and hot sex between cowboys (or sort of...) under the sun (and inside the barn...).

Adam is a young canadian guy who is travelling the country backpacking. He is out of money and accept a one week work in a farm. He meets Ronnie, a rodeo cowboy from New Mexico, who has lost all his bus money and needs to work for a bit to pay his back home bus ticket.

Adam and Ronnie match from the beginning, both young and gay and maybe a bit lonely among strangers. They manage to steal some hot moments here and there but sooner or later Ronnie will travel home and Adam will have to make a choice: go back on the road alone and tag with Ronnie... I had no problem to foresee Adam's decision...

The story is pretty short, less than 60 pages, and very erotic. It's like a sex escapade, with Adam and Ronnie who try to sneak a moment alone between work hours or in a bunkhouse full of strangers. And when they manage to be alone, sparks fly between them. Sex is simple and good, both Adam than Ronnie are nice and healthy guys, without real problems. Maybe they don't have full acceptance from the families, but they deal with that and have a positive behaviour which help to face the outside world.

Traveling to Home is a smooth and enjoyable tale.

Tortured Souls (Men in Love 6) by Carol Lynne

One thing you can say of Carol Lynne is that she has amazingly original plots for so short stories.

Tortured Souls, less than 80 pages, is the story of Bram, a security specialist, former abused child, who falls in love of Declan, a doctor. Declan has lost six years before his partner, a man he met in one of his foster house and which whom he grew together. But when they were barely twenty years old, Scott developed a mental disability due to a brain cancer, and he tortured and raped Declan before killing himself. So now Declan is veru cautious in his lovers choice.

This is the sixth book in the Men in Love series, and when it starts Bram is trying to forget Declan. But he has not much success and so he returns back in Oklahoma and to Declan. But Bram's past is not buried as he thinks.

As in all Carol Lynne's books, there is a lot of sex between gorgeous men, and unlikely matches which seem to work wonderfully: around Bram and Declan gravitate not one but not less than two threesome, both working without problems. Only in the Fantasy Land America by Carol Lynne this is possible, but maybe this is also the reason why we like her books. And kudos to her to have a fervid imagination and always come out with new idea.
