Surviving Synn by L. Shannon
Mar. 9th, 2011 09:00 am
Tarvyn is a demon; he is a Synn demon fated to bring pleasure in the bedroom, but his father Pahele has asked him to go to a battlefield of the late seventeen century and help the souls of the dying soldiers to leave the earth in peace. But he spent all his energy doing so and he need to regain it making sex. And among the soldiers arrived to help the survivors he finds Bailey, an English Captain, who has denied for all his life his desire for men. But Tarvyn can read his mind and he knows the truth.
But Bailey's men and some monks coming to help recognize in Tarvyn the demon, even if his earth features are those of a young and blond man, more like an angel then a demon. So Tarvyn is obliged to take Bailey with him on Niflheim, the land of the dead, the Hell. Because he knows that Bailey is his soul mate: but to be his real soul mate, Bailey has to rescue the soul of Tarvyn and only a true lover can do that, or die if not succeeded.
This is a brief novel full of myth and imagination. Perfectly settled in an unusual time period, it mix well paranormal and history. Reading the blurb you can expect more sex, and instead you will find only some scenes, and not in so graphic detail. But you will be not disappointed: it is really an enjoyble tale.

Soren's Surrender is part of the Incognito series by Anna Leigh Keaton, an het BDSM series till now, and since it's more than a year than I didn't read an het romance and BDSM is usually not my main choice, you can say that I bought this book purely out of curiosity, to see how a pretty good ebooks het author (given how many releases she had in the past years) would deal with an M/M romance. Well the answer is pretty good. 
Reed is a young man with some self-consciousness problem. A former fashion model, he had to retire after a bad car accident who left him scarred. More than losing the work, what left him more hurt was the rejection from his boyfriend, a vain man who didn't suffer the sight of his scarred body. To try to forget and to celebrate his new-found independence, Reed goes in an hiking trip, only to get lost in the wood.
This little story is really pretty, but very very short, less than 35 pages, and being this short it's somewhat too much crowded, of people and event.
The book starts with a frightend Kevin, a thirty old guy who can't bear to stay alone at home. He clings to a linus blanket, he tries to create "rumor" around the apartment to avoid the silence, he makes call to friends. Since the first pages the reader realizes that Kevin is a traumatized man who hasn't yet overcome his nightmare. Three years before Kevin was in a D/s relationship with a Dom who didn't respect the boundaries they agreed, and this sent Kevin to the hospital near dead. Now he is trying to rebuild his life, but his former Master doesn't give up and uses any means to scared him and at the same time begs him to come back. Without the help of his friends, a roommate who is almost a brother, a best girl friend like a substitute mother and a former lover now counselor like second father, Kevin has good chance to success.
A really short story, only 22 pages, where the sex has a great share of it. Erick is a young executive in a factory; he made his path from the bottom, working on the line, and the same did Willis. Willis is Erick's forbidden dream, the colleague that plays in Erick's dreams every night, and the reason why Erick doesn't mind to work overtime. But there is only a game of glances between them, Erick never had the courage to speak for real to him, and so he jumps to the chance to be away on business for four days with Willis, in the same hotel room.
Eden Winters always surprises me because, despite the delicate matters she deals with, there is always an undertone of romance that wins over everything. And the nice original touch (original considering the ordinary gay romances you can find around) is that basically the sex is almost an afterthought, after the romance, after the love, after the story has developed.

This was an interest concept, what if you find “apparently” the right person but you not so much attracted by him? Can love, and a long lasting relationship, be born more from mutual interest and common ground than mindless passion?
