review 1: Picked up one of the recent ebooks from the Torquere range (which: my god, but those summary emails are a highlight of my week. Not even joking.) This probably deserves a little more than 2 stars - it wasn't bad by any means - and the prose was workmanlike enough, and the story was sufficiently interesting to get me to do more than read the summary, so props for that, but it does suffer some of the usual gay fiction tropes of having some really cliched phrasing and plot in parts, and some terrible euphemism/word choices during the sex scenes. Mostly felt like it would benefit from tighter editing by a fussier reader. I don't regret spending a couple bucks on it, but I'm unlikely to reread this one. (Or, tl;dr -- frankly, my taste is spoiled by fandom. ... moreHeh.)
review 2: 4.5 starsI just love Riley...and Riley's mouth. While the beginning was a little slow, once it picked up I was swept away by these two guys. I never expected Riley to be so sexy. There's this scene with Riley standing in the apartment hallway, wearing nothing but his gym shorts and complete determination to get Kelly's attention. I melted.Can't wait for Guava Red and future Riley appearances. less
