Reactions and Reviews

I normally prefer stories with serious amounts of grit and pain. But occasionally I’m in the mood for something a bit less grim. Right about now, in fact.

This is a wonderful, sweet story, beautifully written. Not at all cloyingly sweet, more like one of the best lemon meringue pies you ever had, with just the right balance of tartness and sugar.

Did I mention food? This one’s quite a treat for the epicures amongst us. [1]

Bodie and Doyle are on a stakeout job and their growing closeness is seen through everyday actions.

Bodie returned his attention to his driving, still smiling. Ray seldom revealed such overt pleasure, and Bodie found himself inordinately happy. The comfortable glow that suffused him extended to the world outside. It seemed only fitting and proper that he should find a parking place precisely in front of Doyle's building.

This is a very sweet story. Lovely and romantic with not even a drop of angst - my favourite kink. [2]
