If not for the sex that is quite hot and explicit, this could have been a sweet romance, since the story and the turn of events are simple and nice, not at all dramatic, and even the evil of the moment, is so harmless that goes out of the scene without too much trouble.

Koffe is new in town but he has already lost his job: his boss' daughter didn't take well that he refused her advances, and not even when he told her that he is gay she understood. She made her father fired him for theft, and so now Koffe is trying to drawning his sorrow in a black coffee in the local diner. To help him arrives Leo, a big and strong handsome man, actually a dream comes true for Koffe. Leo offers him a job and Koffe replies with another type of offering. It doesn't take long that they are going steady and happy, but there is a secret that Leo is hiding.

Actually the discovery of Leo's secret is almost "innocent": Koffe is not at all shocked and he takes the news quite well. Comes out that all the town is not exactly what it seems, and Koffe has probably finally found a place where he can be openly gay and happily ever after.

As I said the sex is good and in 42 pages long happens quite often. This is a little nice piece of erotica.

In a futuristic world humans seem to be degraded to a primitive time. They no more fight for live, but use slaves as gladiators in arenas. A gladiator as no hope for freedom, even if he is the last one to survive. For him it means only a one more night before the next fight.

This time, Geoff, a human, a Ardis, a man with the pelt of an animal, were the two to survive. They don't hate each other, and so for this last night they decide to share a room and spend time healing each other and loving each other. Geoff has always been a slave, he doesn't know other life, but Ardis was a freeman, and try to convince Geoff that outside the arena there is a world worthy to be seen.

The story is pretty short, less than 60 pages, but it's very enjoyable. Geoff and Ardis, even if strong warriors, aren't animal. They have feeling and dream, and the need for a lovely touch from another human being. In this short story there is more sex than what you would expect, but for me, who loves more the romance and less the was, it is a bonus. Maybe I'd like to be a bit longer, and I hope to have the chance in the future to read a entire M/M novel by Brenda Bryce.… (plus d'informations)
