One Way Street by Laney Cairo

This is a very strong book. But it also an heartbreaking one and full of hope. But I had no doubt, since Laney Cairo is the author of Bad Case of Loving You, another very strong book.

Shane is an Australian Rules Football player. He is young and he plays for a winning team, so he should be very happy. He has also a beautiful girlfriend and some very good friends. But he is on the edge of suicide. One year before he has badly dumped his male lover, bending over the pressure of the team and the public opinion that couldn't consider the idea of a football gay player. Dale was the only true thing in his life and now he hurts so much, in body and soul, that only through mix of pills over pills he can go on. And in the end it arrives the day when it seems impossible to bear another day. And he goes to the apartment he shared with Dale, the only place he feels like home.

Dale is returning for the first time in a year to the apartment, and he is surprised to discover that Shane has continued to come to the place in all these months. So he decides to stop and to see if the man will appear. But the man he sees is not the same man he remembers. Shane is clearly sick, and drugs addicted. He needs help to heal, but he also needs someone who will stay beside him when he finally will take some hard decision. This is not more a choice for Shane, but a necessity if he doesn't want to fall apart.

The path of Shane through the healing from his injures, rebuilding his life and coming out will be slow and painful, but Dale will be a steady presence: even if Shane is a strong professional football player and Dale a businessman, it's this late who is the strong core of their relationship, and not only now that Shane is ill. Even before Dale was the stronger in the relationship, even if he didn't force Shane to take decision he was not ready to take. And another think I like in this book, is that not all the faults are on one side: true, Shane preferred to dump Dale rather than coming out, but also Dale has made some mistakes.

The interaction between the two main characters is wonderful. Both characters are real and full of layers... you hardly manage to have an idea and soon after the author unveals a new layer that throws out all your careful filed information.

Carved In Memory (The Exile) by Adrianna Dane

Here a story which is really a shame that is soo short, less then 35 pages...

The Exile is a series featuring some exiled inhabitants of the mythical Isle of Mannos, and all male island where the primary scope is pleasure and where the men are divided into Acquisitor and Receiver.

Alonzo was a receiver, but he made a great mistake, the sin the be too proud to accept mindly the will of an Ancient Master and now he is exiled in the mainland. He has not a bad life, but the worst punishment he has is the knowledge that he can return to Mannos.

Alonzo knows that he can't be able to love a man, and so he tries to ignore the blossimg love of Angel-boy, a street guy he has helped. He has bought a shop and rent it to Angel-boy, giving the guy a work and also an home. Angel-boy trades ancient manufact, and now he has found a piece from the Isle of Mannos, something he knows that Alonzo wants badly. But to give it to Alonzo, Angel-boy wants in exchange an entire night in bed with him.

Only when Alonzo will manage to overcome some of his issues, he will give a chance to Angel-boy to enter his life...

As I said the story is very short, much too short, cause Alonzo and Angel-boy are two characters who deserves a little more. Also in the previous story in the Exile series, I had the feeling to read only a prequel to a much more interesting and complex story. But I don't understand if Adrianna Dane is preparing something more, or if this is all she wants to give us.
