Gay Commercial: YES DBS TV

Well, all my friends know that I don't like menages... but this is too funny!

In a twist on the Romeo and Juliet fairytale romance, Juliet is in the garden at night and tells her friend, "I shall wake my beloved Romeo with a thousand little kisses," as she climbs up to his window from below. "Be carfeul my dear Juliet!" her friend says.



She sneaks into his room through the window, and quietly calls his name as she approaches his large poster bed, covered in curtains. She pulls back the curtains to find that Romeo is in bed, playfully tickling another young man under the covers. Juliet's face falls in horror as she exclaims, "Oh Romeo!" The two young male lovers look surprised at her entrance as she changes her mind suddenly and says, "Ooo, I'm beginning to like this movie!"

She suddenly sees the two of them as an opportunity rather than a loss. Then she's in bed between them as the announcer asks double-entendre questions about the brand, "Do you think nothing could surprise you anymore? Are you looking for new experiences? Much more exciting and daring?") In bed, the three shout "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Fated (Soul Familiar 3) by Kate Steele

The Soul Familiar series by Kate Steele has always been a funny one. The story of how Tyler, a wanna be wizard, met and fell in love with his soul familiar, Alex, is light and without angst. In line with it, it was also sexy, but always with lightness. Alex and Tyler has to face a trial to validate their bond; but even if failing the trial means for them to be separated, again, the previous two books have no angst at all. Kate Steele plays a lot with the cuteness of Tyler, being him a virgin when he first met Alex, and so not only new to the magic he has inside, but also to the sex. Alex becomes his "master" in both fields, even if Alex has not the attitude of a very serious professor.

Alex is a playboy; he loves and leaves, he was once burned and now he is quite cautious. But the bond he has with Tyler is not something he can avoid, it's in his nature to be the soul mate of the young man, and being Tyler so pretty and willing, it's not an hard task to comply. In the third book there is maybe a bit more of seriousness between them, more actually from Alex's side. Tyler was always, from moment one, totally involved in the love story, for him it's the first and only love. Instead Alex maybe realizes only when he is near to loose Tyler, that what he has is something of important. So yes, the third book is the more deep and involving of all the series, but still it's more on the light and funny side than on the angst one.

Book 1 was all about Tyler, book 2 was a transitioned one, about a side character on the series, and book 3 is all about Alex. It's also longer than the usual novellas by Changeling Press, so the reader has something more than some nice and good sex scenes. There is actually also a plot, and it's a nice contrast to see "professor" Alex that actually does something to gain the title. But to not disappointed the reader who likes sex, he would be happy to know that this book starts with a very long and very erotic sex scene.
