Tempestuous by Morgan Hawke

Rusty thinks to be a pretty normal guy. Yes, he have some weird feelings and he can't remember something happen when he was in high school, but, apart this, he has a good work as costumer. Ok, he has a strange strenght for a pretty slim and cute guy like him, but he has only to learn to control him... maybe his social life is pretty lonely cause he doesn't trust himself to lose control with other people and sex is a good way to lose all the inhibition.

So when he meets Shiro he is confused: why he feels attraction for this guy? He has never before felt sexual attraction for a guy. Sure Shiro his very handsome, blonde and broad shoulder and pretty pushing, but he has no intention to have sexual intercourse with a man.

But then he discovers that Shiro is not a normal man, he is a fox spirit, a really fox-human kind of being, with flurry ears and beautiful long tail... a bautiful white fox where he himself his a cute red fox. Cause Shiro many years ago has made him into his consort and now that he has found him again, he has no intention to let him go away.

A really interesting story who mixed paranormal romance with oriental myth. Rusty is not the usual uke, he is strong willed and heat tempered, like a true red-head. Shiro is somewhat more cold, white and distant, but very passionate. He is, I think, more young in age than Rusty, but he has an aura of power around him that easily identify him has a leader.

The story is not too short, but sometimes I have the feeling that the author has cut it to stay under a certain lenght... I'd like to read a little more about this two, and maybe have some hints more about the life of Shiro between Rusty's turn and the present time. But regardless, it's a very enjoyable story and sex is playful without being too kinky.

I was tempted to buy this novel, but for some reason didn't. Was it worth getting in paperback? Was there a lot of sex in the story?

Yes there is a lot of sex in graphic details, I have found it enjoyble but not excessive. There a little bit of bondage (no too kinky) and a game of cat and mouse between Rusty and Shiro: Rusty is not very willing to have anal sex and Shiro cast a spell to prevent him to cum if he not agree to have sex with him.

That sounds interesting. I will look for the e-book then. Thanks!

And I forgot: worth to getting in paperback? I don't know, it's pretty short and as I said, I was not at all satisfy of the development of the story... I can reccomend to buy it in ebook, but I don't know for the print version.
