REVIEW: Ripple in Time Eternal by Mark Alders

4/20/2013

Ripple in time Eternal by Mark Alders
Genre: M/M, Science Fiction
Length: Novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest
Rating: 5 stars – A Must Read.
Heat: 5 handcuffs – Orgasmic.

Wounded but alive, Zane wakes up to humans working with shadow eternals. Humans have volunteered to be hosts for the horrible entities. Now he and sexy Motac are on a mission to save the humans and
get rid of the eternals once and for all. Of course, things go wrong. Eternals are turned into crazy beasts that go cannibalistic. And there are only a few steps from Zane’s bare ass.

What an adventure! The action is fantastic and heart pounding. It had a lot of zombie like action that worked so well. The heat, as always was smoking hot. I really liked the twist and pace of the story. The eternals were given a might blow by the beloved team. There’s also a great wedding ceremony but I won’t say who’s. You’ll have to read to find out.

A Ripple in Time Eternal is the third book in Diary of the Eternal War, a sexy, sci-fi adventure you should not miss!

REVIEW: Titan Prime by Mark Alders

4/16/2013

Titan Prime by Mark Alders
Genre: M/M, science fiction
Length: Novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest
Rating: 5 stars – A Must Read
Heat: 4 handcuffs – An Erotic Ride.

Horrow was a pleasure droid who was tortured by a cruel master and then became aware. He developed feelings, fears and wants one thing in the world he can’t have, love.

This story was so incredible, marvelous, and spectacular. I could go on and on. The way the author created this world of Titan Prime was vivid and wildly imaginative. Poor horrow gets abused and tricked only to be forced to prostitute himself. The harshness of some scenes was so touching and scary. I felt Horrow’s pain and fear, not literally of course, but it came off the pages so realistically. As the story continues, we see new sides to horrow and a particular Captain who wants more that a quick romp. The action is edge of your seat, the sex is freaking hot and the story of Titan Prime is one to fall in love with.

I cannot find one issue with this story. It was engaging, well written and unique. Titan Prime is a heartbreaking tale of a pleasure droid looking for love and finding his soul mate.

REVIEW: Negotiator of Worlds by Mark Alders

4/7/2013

Negotiator of Worlds by Mark Alders
Genre: M/M, science Fiction
Length: Novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest
Rating: 3 stars – A good read.
Heat: 3 handcuffs – Blush Worthy.

Liam was born advanced and this is the story of his coming of age. Only he has a strange twist, he’d not like other young men. There are people trying to capture him calling him the Negotiator of Worlds and people he trusted are turning on him. Who can he trust? What exactly
is the negotiator of worlds?

I’m a big fan of Mark Alders. I’ve read several of his books and really enjoyed them. The way this was written was very interesting. There were first POV scenes as if he was talking in a journal. The beginning really drew me in. There was a seriously intriguing plot and of
course, really hot sex, but the sex was a bit lacking in this book. Less detail and more sex just for word count. Liam was a great character but I didn’t feel his connection with Toby and Paul. Maybe because of the lack of details? It made the story feel rushed.

As the story progresses I was certainly getting into it. Liam in taking some sort of drug that turns him invisible and it makes the sex fantastic but it also takes the story up another level. What exactly is this drug? Who can he trust? People are betraying him left and right. It really worked and I found myself on the edge of my seat. However, things took a turn about three quarters of the way through the book. Suddenly Rogers and Tina and Jim were introduced. All strangers, no back-story, why would Liam trust them? It made no sense! Then a character from the beginning can suddenly read minds and there’s an alien ship and alien blood. Things went from amazing to strange to outlandish and eventually foolish. It’s as if the author was
combining a bunch of different stories. The characters became muddled and everything took off in different directions. By the last few chapters, I really lost interest in the book and Liam’s plight.

Negotiator of Worlds had a stunning beginning and interesting plot. Despite this have only three stars DO NOT let it deter you from Mark Alders books. He is a talented writer and I will certainly be picking up more of his books to sink into!

Review: Supernova on Twine by Mark Alders

8/5/2012

Supernova on Twine by Mark Alders
Novel
M/M, Erotica, Sci fi
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest

Yay! Another Mark Alders book! Every time he has a new release I get all sorts of excited. Supernova on Twine is about the Diary of the Eternal War. Tink and Mirko have been taken by nasty beings called Eternals and Zane is currently ‘possessed’ by a eternal, Motac, who is trying to help.

I suggest reading the other books in this series first. Believe me, it’s worth it. Mark Alders created a unique, fantastic series here and this is another great addition. As always most of the time the characters are naked which makes for some yummy visuals. What I love about this is that sure there’s a lot of hot sex but there’s also a very intense plot that really gives the story that extra boost. You’d think with so many and a detailed plot things would get confusing but not here. The heat and interaction between all the characters including the
eternals was so well done.

Review: Into Oblivion Falls by Mark Alders

7/9/2012

Into Oblivion Falls by Mark Alders
Novella
M/M, Science Fiction
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest

Anyone who follows my reviews knows I don’t sugar coat. That said, Mark Alders manages to write stories that continually get high ratings. I instantly grabbed his newest release, Into Oblivion Falls. This is part of a series but I have not read the previous books. That might make things a bit confusing but Alders has a way of easing the reader into the fantastic worlds he creates and weaving in the information so the reader isn’t lost. It was an easy transition, reality to a new and dangerous solar system.

As always Alders science fiction elements are epic and so well written. It’s like watching a sci fi picture in your head that gets down and dirty with two handsome men. The men in question are Zane and Tink. Zane is cooler than Captain Kirk, his words not mine but it fits. He’s hot and has some great one liners. Tink was a little hard to accept as he dialogue was odd but it fit since he’s an alien cat-being. I love how its normal for them to be naked all the time, it makes one hell of a good visual. Then we meet Mirko who is a sexy and of course, naked cat-being or is he? I’m not telling! I like how despite the attraction, Zane does flirt but that’s as far as he takes it until a twist is revealed that leads Mirko to Tink and
Zane’s bed. Now that was hot as hell. The only thing better than m/m is m/m/m...yum.

Between the detailed science fiction and the super sexy love scenes, Into Oblivion Falls
is another must read by Mark Alders.

Review: Forerunner by Mark Alders

6/8/2012

Forerunner by Mark Alders
Novella – science fiction, M/M
TBR reviewer: B.H.

I’m a fan of Mark Alders, when I have a new book by him in my hands I get practically giddy. So far, he’s not on produced entertaining books but unique reads unlike any other. This new one is called Forerunner. It’s about A New Pox that is killing people on earth. A select team is chosen to go to another world to collect the foreskins of an alien race. How does he come up with these plots?! It almost sounds like the plite in our own time with the issue of circumsion. There's an undertone here that really gave the book that depth.

The editing was a little rougher in this book, there were obvious mistakes that threw me out of the story a few times. That was the only real issue and the story really made up for that lack. Aznan is not a ‘good guy’. He harvests alien foreskins for his planet and for his wallet. There’s this goodness inside him that, as the story progresses, breaks free and really makes his character pop. Lunore is a fantastic, glowing alien that is trying to stop the mutilation of
foreskins from human kind. Apparently, they are much more advanced than the
humans thought.

The sex is super satisfying, he knows how to write that real well. What I love about Alders books is that he doesn’t just right sex well, he has great characters to go with the heat and fantastic science fiction elements. The space scenes are always well described and intense, especially the action bits. Forerunner is another hit by Mark Alders and a must read!

Review: Atlantica Dream by Mark Alders

4/29/2012

M/M, science Fiction - novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally honest

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.

Review: Sarge's Angel by Mark Alders

3/22/2012

m/m, Romance, science fiction - novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest

Review

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.

Review: Mouse in the Wainscoting by Mark Alders

3/8/2012

M/M, Science Fiction - novel
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest

Review

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: Sweet Science, Hard Love by Mark Alders

3/3/2012

M/M, futuristic - novella
TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest

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.
