Ellora's Cave

review 1: 5+ stars! I was not familiar with Ms. Kane's work until I read her short story, LOVE AND WAR: THE BEGINNING, which I thought was extremely well written, especially for a short story. Because I enjoyed LOVE AND WAR so much, I downloaded ISLANDS, and I'm glad I did.I'm a fan of M/M romances, and I have read many Ellora's Cave publications, but in all honesty, some of the editing in Ellora's Cave books leaves much to be desired! The quality of Ms. Kane's writing and the excellent editing of the above-mentioned work, as well as ISLANDS, is amazing.This story of love during WWII touched my heart, and I recommend it wholeheartedly!
review 2: Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 9/10 PROS: - Sweet and romantic. It’s the only... more one with an ending that I think qualifies as an unequivocal HEA (although when I squint and hold my tongue just right, I can imagine the others as HEAs also).- More detailed sex scenes than the other stories. I didn’t DISLIKE the sex scenes in the others, but these ones are the most emotional in the book.- Fairy taleish setting. Even though the story takes place during WWII, the action is set on an island where sexual orientation is not an issue.CON: - I found the ending a little abrupt. There’s a long span of time between the end of the novella and the beginning of the epilogue, yet the characters behave as though almost no time has passed. (The island has a timeless quality, though, so I was able to forgive this rather easily.) less
