Review

Kirk is a pretty boy, the rich son of a billionaire who’s somehow mistaken (Or is it a mistake?) and now being sold as a Slave. Lyndarum is a shifter who is of no value because he has freckles. Together they’re stuck in this grueling slave market and that's just the beginning of their problems.

 I noticed the editing was a little worse with this book. Things popped out very frequently, both grammar and head hops. The relationship between Kirk and Lyndarum was way too quick, almost instant. I think if that was flesh out they would have felt more connected. That does change as the story progresses and the main characters have more time together. The science fiction is amped up in this story. More fantastic details and an awesome space chase. The space battle was freaking epic! There a very hot sex scenes, some shocking revelations and more action. As the plot unfolds and twists the story becomes an adventure, a race against time to save Lyndarum’s people. 

Atlantica Dream is a sexy adventure and a great addition to the Schism Universe Series.

This is another book in The Schism Universe series by Mark Alders. The first one I read was freaking fantastic and I’m anxious to see if the greatness continues. Sarge’s Angel is about tough Sarge buying a slave that he's fallen completely for but this 'angel' has a secret that could kill them both.

I’m not  a fan of flashbacks. They tend to hinder the flow and muddle the story but apparently not in a Mark Alders book. I was thoroughly impressed. The flashbacks blended into the story beautifully. I also like how Alders includes foreskin on most his characters, if
not all. The erotica books I’ve read rarely have them uncut or don’t bother to get that detailed. It gives this science fiction world a little more jump into reality the way he describes the sex scenes. Holy hell, the sex scenes are so hot. Do not read this in public. Then there's this fantastic new world and the budding romance. The relationship building is magmatic between the smitten Sarge and the slave Hayden.

I did notice the editing was really bad in this book. Run-on, comma usage, repetition of words and other things were heavy enough to through me out of the world Alder’s created. The chapter  ends were choppy and the story really could have been polished better. Thus, the four star rating.

Sarge’s Angel was a sexy addition to the Schism Universe Series. I can’t wait to read more of this world and the fantastic man on man goodness.

Another Mark Alders novel, I’ve been a fan of his after reading several fantastic books.
(Oddly, the only thing I don’t like about Mr. Alders is the titles he picks. Eh, to each his own.) This particular book is about David who been on solo space missions for years. On a mission from Ardross Major David comes upon a stowaway. One that isn’t quite human but sexy as hell.

Mr. Alders has done it again. Mouse in the Wainscott is a fantastic, unique and sexy novel. He has more wonderful one-liners. His descriptions are almost poetic and really pulls the reader in. This ship was well detailed, the hot men even more so but without any dragging. Naru is the stowaway who’s actually a shifter. His background story is very interesting and deep. I loved reading about his world, why he’s being hunted and why he considers himself a murderer. David’s only companion has been a female computer, Miranda. She’s fantastic and witty, although she didn’t sound like a normal AI, it was still a fun character. 
  
There’s a good amount of action as Naru’s hunters find the ship and attack. There are a few editing issues but nothing major. There isn’t much sex in this as Alder’s usual novels but I think that was a good call. David and Naru had a chance to really connect and form a relationship. When they did finally discover each other it was more meaningful and really hot.
 
As I said, Mark Alders books are some of my favorite to sink into. The stories are fuel for fantasies and dreams. Mouse in the Wainscott is another great addition to Mark Alders successful book shelf.
 
If you haven’t read him yet – what the hell are you waiting for?

Review

I’ve never even thought about naked boxing. It just never occurred to me boxing could be done naked, by two men. Hot, hot, hot men. Instantly we’re transported to 2070 and Briant. He’s the championship boxer that likes to fight men and then sleep with them. Kaden is insistent he’s not a homo but the feelings he has for Briant says others. These men want to save the sport of boxing. Getting naked together is a bonus that turns into something more. There’s also Cyn, a side character that is wonderfully written.

Some of the one liners in here are freaking perfect. They should be on a plaque above a bar, lol. The story is so freaking fantastic and really interesting. I love the way Alders can blend the future with unique hot stories. It just seems natural for him and after reading several of his books, I’m officially a fan.

There’s a few editing issues but nothing that will knock the story out of alignment. Or  maybe I missed them. I really got caught up in the story which is a rare and beautiful thing. So go pick a copy of this book. (Yes, the title is not so pleasing.) Sweet Science, Hard Love is a
fantastic novel that blends sexy men and the love of boxing.

Now I’m off to go find more Mark Alder books to sink into.

Review

In this sequel to Away Team, Ely, Emerson, Braden and Kale are again needed because of their experiences when they faced the strange alien ship. After dealing with the first crystalline artifact, another appears to be heading to a group of them, and humanity fears that if it is not stopped, life on Earth may be doomed. The four young cadets are tasked with stopping the alien ship, and later, to make first contact with another alien species and request their assistance. The two couples have to find creative ways to work together, deal
with the First Contact and all the strange things that occur because of it.

Mr. Alders writing is often snarky and quite amusing. The situations the four young men arrive in are strange and wild. The sex is frequent and often open in this book. The two couples both seem to grow stronger as the story progresses, but the main couple followed, Ely and Emerson, are the most amusing because of the switch in their personalities. In the first book, Ely seemed like the more out-going, aggressive, but as their relationship grew, Emerson became more confident to the point where he has become the dominant force in their relationship. The interactions between them, both on and off the mission are very fun to read about, and the tangles in dealing with the aliens when they are completely clueless are hysterical. I especially enjoyed the trick played on them by the species they seek out for help.
 
The four different species presented show quite a range of possibilities within an almost Star Trek style universe, and I look forward to the third book to see how the complexities of the
relationships between the four alien species play out.

Review

I recently finished reading, A Human For Christmas, loved it. Then I found Pyrogasm by the same author and downloaded it immediately. That blurb intrigued and ignited. Hans is coming into his magic, unfortunately he’s fire and has lava like cum. How did he come up with that
twist? Unique to say the least. So, Hans meets Adrian a firefighter and the sparks ignite. The problem is his lava cum and the fact that someone is stalking him.

This was short, but interesting. The heat was there between the two characters. Pace was good and the overall tale I found very entertaining. The problem (Besides a serious need of editing)– instant love. Yeah, that dreaded issue popped up and really put a damper on a rather entertaining story.

Since it is a free story I do recommend you pick it up and give it a read.

Review

Very rarely do I find a unique plot that has not been broached before. A Human For Christmas is about the earth dying. The only way to save the species is to send them as pets to aliens called Teathans. Greg Scott, a foul-mouthed soldier is now a pet to Anton. Both males are new to this strange arrangement but they have more in common than they considered. Both are gay and each has their eyes on a particular male.

This was so different. There are two stories going on. Greg and Jarrod, human pets, then there’s Anton and Donnal, Teathans, who want to be lovers. The world that Mr. Alders created was wonderfully strange and a treat of the senses. The stories overlap which really keeps the pace well set and not once confusing. The characters are well written. The ending is very  satisfying and sets up for a sequel. One I’m going to be placing on my list to read.
 
A Human For Christmas is an erotic love story set in a fantastic alien world.
