“Whatever, Dude” by Ryan Field

A man in his mid-thirties, tired to cruise the night club and to have tamed one night stands, decides to walk the very dark side and finds his dangerous pleasure outside the restroom in a public park. The only man he finds, a young latino man in his early twenties, mistakes him for an hustler and he decides to go along with the play.

The story is only a scene of 15 pages, but it's erotic and smells of sweat. The man is not searching love, he is searching no strings attach sex; since he is free to decide what he wants and how he wants it, his only requirement is that the chosen man is young and well hung. The young latino man corresponds to the requirement and if he is willing to pay a man fifteen years older to do something that he likes so much, he has no intention to disenchant the man.

In only 15 pages I can't have a really good idea on both the characters, rather than have an idea that sooner or later, this hustler for hobby probably will have to decide what he really wants from his life. The young latino man is a bit of a mystery: young and hung, but he needs to pay for having sex...

Here Comes the Sun (Eclipse of the Heart 2) by Emily Veinglory

I read Eclipse of the Heart a long time ago, and it was probably one of the first gay paranormal romance I read. I remember that I found very interesting Lan's character, since he is the classical omega were, a man not destined to be a leader, but since he is alone, he needs to be the leader of his own. Then he meets Mason, a big sturdy man, but not a were, and Lan relies to Mason as his alpha. But Mason doesn't know that Lan is a were and when he finds the truth he deserts Lan. This is the lasting impression he left me, that of a man who abandons his lover when his lover needs him most.

With Here Comes the Sun I think Emily Veinglory wants to give a second chance to Mason. The book is all about him, about his journey to accept the true nature of Lan and to realize what he is for the man. Lan had to learn to live alone, and now he is a lot more independent; plus he has a better work than Mason, he is a professor, and Mason, a simple bouncer, feels like the "housewife" of the situation, something that doesn't go well with him being the alpha male of the couple.

Mason grows a lot in this sequel, he little by little is learning to love both Lan's nature, as a man and as a coyote. It's really tender to read when Mason as a man and Lan as a coyote, stand out looking at the night, and Mason should restrain himself to pat Lan, since Lan is not a pet, he is his lover, even if in shifted form.

Lan instead is more in second line; probably he completed his journey in the previous book, and we don't need to read more about him. What remains a constant in his behavior is that, even if he has a lot more confidence in himself, he is still a man who needs comfort and caring, he is still a man who searches to obtain Mason's approval.

The book is more the discovery journey of Mason and not much the telling of the erotic relationship between Mason and Lan. There are some sex scenes, but they are tamed and they don't distract the reader from the main matter of the book.
