Blurb: Lovers and Other Strangers by Josh Lanyon Recovering from a near fatal accident, artist Finn Barret returns to Seal Island in Maine to rest and recuperate. But Seal Island is haunted with memories, some sweet, some sad; three years ago Finn found his lover in the arms of Fitch, Finn's twin brother. Since that day, Finn has seen neither Conlan nor Fitch. In fact, no one has seen Fitch. What happened to him? Did Fitch run away, as everyone believes? Or did he meet a more sinister fate? To put the past to rest - and see if there's any chance of a future with Con - Finn must discover the truth. But the deeper he digs, the more reason he has to fear Con is the only one who knows what truly happened to Fitch...

Body Art by Jordan Castillo Price His lover has betrayed and swindled Ray Carlucci out of everything he valued, including a tattoo business. Hounded by creditors, weary of heart, he accepts the job of chauffeur and body man for the dying owner of a remote estate. The island, minus its wealthy summer colony, is colorless in winter and Ray thinks he understands why staff on the estate periodically desert. But, he's baffled by, then drawn to, Anton, the eccentric artist who haunts the forest, bringing strange life to bizarre and disquieting sculptures amidst the ice and trees. When the body of a man who once held Ray's job rises from the frosty earth, Ray wonders what part Anton's wildness has in the escalating violence.

Blurb: Ticket to a Spanking By Jude Mason: If you have a kinky young couple into the spanking lifestyle, and you add a female friend who’s intrigued by it, fun things can happen. Add a ticket for speeding and the fella’s desire to expose his masochist needs; you definitely have the makings for an afternoon of naughty pleasures. Julie’s the dominant wife, Ken, the naughty husband and Chris, well she’s just plain curious about it all and very horny. Ken’s speeding ticket brings these three together for an afternoon of sexy, painful pleasure. He gets his butt warmed, Julie gets to show her girlfriend just how much fun a spanking can be. And Chris is inspired to try it all on her own wayward husband. Will Ken find ‘release’ from the two sexy women or will his rampant erection go unattended, unlike his rosy red bum?

Rein Me In By Amber Skyze: Delia is happy being a stay-at-home wife, spending her husband's money. Only problem? Scott doesn't share her enthusiasm.

Who knew getting spanked could be so arousing? Not Delia, but now that Scott's turned her on, she wants more. In fact, she might go over her limit just to feel the heightened orgasms. Can Scott rein her in before they both end up in the poorhouse?

Road Trip By Tara S. Nichols: After a long, cold winter spent indoors, a drive in the country to an unknown destination is just what Mona needs. The simple act of going for a drive has sensuous effects on the kinky, urban girl, something, Jess, her boyfriend, is well aware of. Mona grows more and more aroused with each deserted side road they pass and Jess shows no sign of stopping. Seeing he isn’t about to pull over and do her right, she starts to tease him as best she can in the little space she is provided, hoping to rile him up enough to give her a spanking. When she finally succeeds in driving Jess to distraction, Mona can only hope she’s been naughty enough.

Find his own means to get to the man he loves. When Navarre finally arrives at Bryan's hotel, he has second thoughts about challenging fate. Bryan has company in his room!

Blurb: Take it off. Take it all off. To say Harlan Sheppard is hot for teacher would be the understatement of the year. Working closely with Professor Sawyer Addison has taught Harlan one thing. Persistence doesn’t always pay off. With graduation only a day away, Harlan is willing to do anything to get the object of his affection to see him as more than just another student. Unbeknownst to Harlan, Sawyer sees his sexy TA for exactly what he is—an attractive, brilliant man who just so happens to moonlight as a stripper. A fact Sawyer discovered one night at Tricky Dix, a gay strip club. Since then he’s been avoiding the club—and Harlan—like the plague, refusing to allow his career to be overshadowed by his lust. At least for a few hours more. Until graduation. Harlan has waited long enough. He’s ready to show Sawyer just what makes Harlan the hottest headliner around. And if Sawyer won’t come to the club, Harlan will just have to take his show on the road…straight into Sawyer’s bedroom.

Camerino seems a town stopped in time, people are gently and the rush rush of modern life doesn't reach its walls. It's also a very convenient place to spend some days, the cost of life is cheaper than other part of Italy. The Ducal Palace, seat of the Faculty of Jurisprudence of the University, is one of the most important Renaissance edifices in central Italy. It was built in the late 15th century by Giulio Cesare Da Varano It has a portico, a wide panoramic balcony, loggias and frescoes halls.

The One that Got Away by T.C. Blue

This is a very nice novella, pretty simple in the story, but really romantic. It's the classical friend with benefits starting point: Jim and Michael are roommates, Michael was just dumped by his selfish boyfriend and he is grieving; Jim doesn't like to see him in that way and decides to do a bit of comfort work: taking him out, giving him a bit of self-esteem and in the end, ending in bed with him. Jim doesn't plan this last turn, but truth be told, it's not something that he doesn't like.

Till that moment Jim was the full-mode party boy, 3 nights a week out clubbing, more or less a new boy every week; Michael was instead more the couch, good movie and cuddling type. Even in body they are different and in their character type: Jim tall, big and broad shoulders, Michael the nerdy type, lithe and skinny, big nose and glasses. When Jim first met Michael, he saw what everyone else sees, an average guy who you wouldn't turn to look on the street; but Michael is the man you get used to, that insinuates himself in your heart and takes possession of it. And this is exactly what happened to Jim: when Michael was thinking to commit with his former boyfriend, Jim was jealous, he thought that the reason was that he didn't judge the ex enough good for his best friend, but the real reason was that he wanted to be at his place. And when Michael is again on the market for a relationship, Jim snatches him away with the excuse of comforting him, but really trying to stake his claim. Problem is that Jim is not clear with his feelings, and even if sex is great, Michael has still big trouble to understand why an handsome and popular man like Jim wants to be with an average guy like him.

In a way, to fully believe in their love, Michael has to test himself with other people, it's not enough that Jim tells him he is perfect as he's, he has to have the same confirmation from other people, who are not his best friend. But fortunately this is a romance, and the happily ever after is at the horizon. And in the meantime, you have also a lot of nice sex between Michael and Jim, with Michael that proves that the old motto, big nose big c... is not only a myth. I like also the setting, almost all played in Jim and Michael's building apartment, with them moving up and down from their home to that of their lesbian couple friends, to the neighborhood clubs and little shops, it gives an intimate feeling to all the story.

Problem is that Jim is not clear with his feelings, and even if sex is great, Michael has still big trouble to understand why an handsome and popular man like Jim wants to be with an average guy like him.

In a way, to fully believe in their love, Michael has to test himself with other people, it's not enough that Jim tells him he is perfect as he's, he has to have the same confirmation from other people, who are not his best friend. But fortunately this is a romance, and the happily ever after is at the horizon. And in the meantime, you have also a lot of nice sex between Michael and Jim, with Michael that proves that the old motto, big nose big c... is not only a myth. I like also the setting, almost all played in Jim and Michael's building apartment, with them moving up and down from their home to that of their lesbian couple friends, to the neighborhood clubs and little shops, it gives an intimate feeling to all the story.
