Trevor meanwhile, wakens disoriented and amnesiac…except that Trevor's soul has departed and the unwilling spirit of Zara Benjamin has entered his body. Just as she struggles with being a he - and a black he at that - she/he finds herself falling in love with club bouncer Ramsay Logan, the man who saved his life. Can Trevor and Ramsey find happiness together or do heavenly forces have a different fate in mind for Zara and for Trevor whose overdose was no accident but an attempted homicide by a maniac waiting for his next chance to finish what he started? In this third installment of the dead Zara's earthly This visual, intriguing start to McKeever's tale sets the pace for an unusual and convincing story of reincarnation and scorching M/M sex. Bouncer's Folly has deceptive layers woven through it. There's the karmic connection of twins, a nasty dom, issues of gender identity, drugs, self-loathing pretty boys and a gritty, believable New York club and drug scene, not to mention some very bossy angels. Phew. Bouncers Folly is written in a very visual, readable, yet highly literary style. Gracie C. Mckeever blends her hot man on man action with a spiritual tale of love's redemption. Having not read the first two books, it never felt like this was a problem. The author infuses enough information about Zara to make this story flow naturally as a stand-alone title, yet made this reviewer want to run out and buy the first two books in the series. A skillful, masterful tale told by an author with genuine talent and a compelling taste for the macabre. Rated Five Delightful Divas by AJ Llewellyn

Sebastien ven Hester, decorated war hero and captain of the sentient cargo ship Naurus, can face any danger—except his own feelings. Jason North, his pilot, finds out the hard way that Seb’s not ready for a relationship after his recent divorce. And Jatila Kan, their engineer, discovers her feelings for North aren’t returned—because her lover’s pining after another man. Not the best situation for a crew starting a three-week run across the galaxy. But there are bigger terrors in space than their messy love triangle. A ruthless, horrifying enemy stands ready to test them to their physical and emotional limits. Failure means certain death not only to themselves and their passengers, but to the entire planetary alliance. Warning: This title contains explicit sex, a messy love triangle, sniping, bad language and ravening space monsters. Review: |

Mercykill is about a Japanese heavy metal band (aka visual kei in Japan) whose members wind up in a situation they never would have considered possible. Without giving any spoilers for book two, which isn't out yet, I can say this about the first book, Shattered Melody Mercykill is on their way to fame as the newest visual kei band to hit the big time in Japan. But from the heights of fame to the depths of crushing sorrow takes but an instant. Can the band recover from senseless tragedy and salvage their lives from the ashes of despair? Review: | |
Nikolai by Angelia Sparrow
James Ligatos is a man with an unusual hobby. He turns promising young criminals into world leaders. His latest project is Nicholas Boyd, formerly Nikolai of the Revenant street gang. But the little killer-turned-file-clerk is much more than Ligatos and his staff bargained for. As Kentucky attempts to secede from the Confederated States of America and rejoin the United States, Nick's skills and the group's training are put to the ultimate test, and the price of failure is death. Review:
Okay, folks. If you thought it was impossible to include every possible permutation of bedroom antics in one book, Angelia Sparrow is about to prove you wrong. And if you thought you'd never be able to root for a thief and a murderer, think again. Nicolai might not be an angel, but it's tough not to like him anyway. Just about everyone who meets him certainly manages to get along with him; or, at least, get it on with him. No matter what your taste, this book has it all; male on male, het, masters, slaves, lovers, the whole nine yards. And a plot, to boot. You know when there's theft, sex and murder in the first chapter you're in for a ride, and Miss Sparrow certainly doesn't disappoint on that front. If I have one complaint, it is that the background politics are underdeveloped, but who wants to read about politics when there's so much bed hopping going on? Though this book does sport a plot into which all that sex fits, it serves mostly as backdrop for what's really going on. And what's really going on is the creation of a power dynamic at least as complex as the politics the characters have to deal with, only this play is a heck of a lot hotter. I give this book four delightful divas for the sheer audacity of the author in throwing all that variety in there without throwing me out of the story. Good work.
