Deep Cover by Clare London

I was not sure to read this short story when it came out... true, it drew my attention since one of the main characters is named Elisa, with the italian spelling of the name :-), but this is also the big problem... There is a female main character and this means that this is a cheating story, or so I supposed. And from the blurb, I also understood that Elisa is a likeable character and so I was not at all convinced to read a story where a man cheats on her, even if the man has all his right reasons to do that.

But I was surprised. The story is far less angst than expected, Elisa is a very nice character, but actually there is not a real cheating on her. I can't say more since the story is 16 pages long, and so it's easy to give it out with too much details. Let me only say that, if you have my same problems with cheating men or menages, in this story you wouldn't find any of it.

Max and Elisa are friends; they are not actually engaged, but it seems only a question of time. In this moment Elisa is following the last details of a party in Max's house and everyone is expecting that they will announce the date. While Elisa is supervising the main floor, Max is in the wine cellar, screwing Ryan, a fellow officer and long date lover.

The story is pretty original, with Elisa's monologue that give us all the details of the three characters' life and counterpoint Max and Ryan's sexual intercourse. The three characters are at three different level of awareness: Max has just reached a decision, Elisa will reach that during the tale, and Ryan is still at the starting point; and so, even if Elisa is not the odd woman out of the couple, she has a strong voice, and she is somewhat more interesting than Ryan.

Man Candy Day: Christian Yanik

Truth be told, I always go for the dark look, but when I stumbled upon this fair guy... well you could say that I was enthralled by his eyes... yes, the eyes! sometime even a naughty girl like me could be charmed by something of poetic.

Christian Yanik is born on March 11th, 1984, in Fremont, California. Now he lives in Los Angeles. He has Czech and Norwegian/Swedish origins. In his profile on MySpace he states that he is gay and actually single… how is it possible that California gay population left this pretty man alone?

He has been modelling for 6 years now and takes his work seriously. He is very focused in what he does and always brings a positive attitude to every photo shoot. His work is unique and stands out of the crowd. He is constantly updating his book and pursuing every opportunity that comes his way.

"I’m a beach whore, being active, volleyball, biking, running, swimming, hiking, baseball, diving, river, friends, family, gym, laughing, music, dancing, clubs, Bars, I'm real, masculine, drama free, no labels, movies at home, going to the movies, roadtrips, vegas, and having sex with complete strangers... haha jk, just seeing if you were actually reading ;)”

When Christian was five his family moved to Eugene, Oregon. He grew up the way anyone would in a smaller town, sheltered. When he was 18, he enrolled at the University of Oregon, studying a variety of majors. He still didn’t know what he wanted to do and needed more. He moved to Portland, the biggest city in Oregon. Though he was making a name for himself through modeling and enjoying all it had to offer, it wasn’t enough. He felt as if he has reached his plateau at such a young age… There had to be more.

Christian decided to move to the Los Angeles area to push himself even more with modeling. He had tons of photographers saying he had what it takes and friends saying he was meant for this. Mostly he needed change. At first it was way too much and he felt like every casting call he went to there was at least a hundred people in every line. He didn’t let that get him down, he had a L.A. photographer shoot him and finally his stuff was getting published. He got signed with two different agencies and he knew he was on his way.

Christian wants to go back to school to study Criminology, he loves working out, and his biggest passion in life is dancing. He loves going to the clubs! That’s where his biggest work-out is. He loves his friends and family for being there and pushing him.
