Blurb: The sequel to Amber Allure’s Best-Seller VGL Male Seeks Same... Poor Ethan Schwartz. He’s just had the most shocking news a gay man can get—he’s been diagnosed HIV positive. Up until today, he thought his life was on a perfect course. He had a job he loved and something else he thought he’d never have: Brian, a new man, one whom Ethan thought of as “the one.” The one who would complete him, who would take his life from a lonely existence to a place filled with laughter, hot sex, and romance. But along with the fateful diagnosis comes another shock—who is this new love? Had Ethan ever really known Brian? And did Brian infect him? As Ethan says, his love history had been more of a haiku than an epic and Brian seems the likely culprit in his newfound diagnosis. The course of true love never runs smoothly, right? And for Ethan and Brian, their new love, once so bright and shining, now appears tinged with darkness and deceit. Can they face this hurdle together with honesty and forgiveness? Or will this revelation tear them apart? Ethan turns to creating a blog, Off to See the Wizard of Poz, to help him deal with his diagnosis and love troubles, and what he finds there just may be more hope and support in the world than he once believed. And one of his blog readers just might have the key to Ethan’s happily ever after...

Blurb: Finding a satyr caged in a carnival sideshow horrifies Travis and Cembran and forces them to make a daring rescue. A captive for decades, the wild, animalistic satyr named Vauk quickly vanishes into the wilderness on Travis and Cembran's property in search of safety and solitude. The next summer, Travis and Cembran invite a new friend, Trent, to attend the Bacchanal. What they don't expect is for Trent to reach out to the abused satyr, much less for the reclusive Vauk to accept his attention. Trent forges a connection between them, and Vauk's human side starts to emerge as he learns about the modern world. Trent teaches Vauk how to communicate, how to cloak his satyr features, and most importantly, how to love. Those skills will be crucial for Vauk's survival... especially when Vauk's captors and his unknown past threaten him and everyone he loves. A story in the Children of Bacchus universe

Around the World: Point Piedras Blancas

California was a travel that I didn't expect. I probably was convinced to find beautiful cities, like San Francisco, and modern overview... I wasn't expecting to be enthralled by the Nature. I traveled from South to North along the Pacific Highway, even when it's recommended to do a little detour since the road is to high traffic and narrow. And I found all those little sea villages and the Nature and its natural inhabitants who live free. One day I was of the idea to visit the Hearst Castle, but when I arrived at the beginning of the path, I saw all those touristic buses, all those people, and I don't like crowded places, and so I left. I read in the guide that there was a colony of Elephant Seals near the beach; when I arrived to the starting point of the fenced path, I didn't see anything, I was a bit disappointed. Then my friend told me, "come, come here to the opposite side", and there they were, basking and sleeping in the sun, and some of them, fighting as young teenagers...

Bad Moon Rising (Dance Wars 3) by Sophia Titheniel

In a way a paranormal romance like this one brings on an issue that is quite common in every day life: is it possible to have a long distance relationship? Especially when the relationship is at the beginning and the bonds are not yet tight enough and there is more unbridled passion than deep love?

There is no doubt that sex between Adair and Lachlan is good and both of them know that they have something special, but they hardly meet once a month, and this is a bad period for Adair to be left alone, his werewolf nature asks him to mate and Lachlan is not beside him to satisfy that urge. When the book starts, Adair and Lachlan just parted way, Lachlan to a mission with an unwelcomed partner, a psychic, Keith, and Adair in the heat of the mating season, with Cedric, his former lover and sire, that comes back in his life in the worst moment.

Both men will be tempted, Lachlan while dreaming of Adair and having Keith intruding in his mind, as if he is seeing a free porn, and Adair who, despite his hatred for Cedric, can't prevent his nature to desire him, the man who made him the wolf he is now. The tension mounts, and it's interesting that almost all the sex scenes, hot and often, are in the minds of both lovers, reminiscing their past encounters; and it's interesting to guess who will surrender to temptation, the man-man Lachlan, apparently the weaker of the two, or the man-wolf Adair, strong and all alpha male? Who will be the cheater, the who usually is the weaker breed, or the wolf, who is notorious to be a very possessive and one-mate mind breed?

Dance Wars 3 confirms the trend of the two previous books, very pushed on the erotic side of the story, these men tend to think more with their bodies than with their minds, and this sometime drives them to do some big mistakes, but in the end love is the strongest force, and it allows men to forgive, if not to forget.

Bad Moon Rising (Dance Wars 3) by Sophia Titheniel

In a way a paranormal romance like this one brings on an issue that is quite common in every day life: is it possible to have a long distance relationship? Especially when the relationship is at the beginning and the bonds are not yet tight enough and there is more unbridled passion than deep love?

There is no doubt that sex between Adair and Lachlan is good and both of them know that they have something special, but they hardly meet once a month, and this is a bad period for Adair to be left alone, his werewolf nature asks him to mate and Lachlan is not beside him to satisfy that urge. When the book starts, Adair and Lachlan just parted way, Lachlan to a mission with an unwelcomed partner, a psychic, Keith, and Adair in the heat of the mating season, with Cedric, his former lover and sire, that comes back in his life in the worst moment.
