Daniel puts out, screams as he comes then fixes his clothes and acts like it’s nothing more than a cheap, one off, sordid fuck which he’s both ashamed of and above. It was a long wait until you finally gave us a scene from Daniel’s POV and once there all I could think of was “prissy, coy cockteaser.” Really, Daniel comes off – no pun intended – as some stuck up, missish, ice god(dess) despite the hot, after hours encounter in Luc’s kitchen. Is this supposed to signify Luc’s hot bloodedness? Anyway, once past those Luc and his monumental ego became amusing. The opening daydreams Luc has of what he’d like to do to Daniel came as a bit of a shock, especially since Luc is a vegetarian.

Luc Tessier is hot tempered, sexually demanding of his minions – who really don’t seem to mind too much, a top vegetarian chef and determined to wow Daniel Sheridan despite all the food critic’s past critical reviews. I hadn’t read an m/m in a while and decided to splurge on this story of one hot Parisian chef who meets his match in a cool English food critic.

Former NYPD cop Damon Summerfield was there. The emotional, complex relationship between the two protagonists is breathtaking.ĭamon can't forget 9/11 and all the precious things he lost… The setting is Vienna on the verge of the First World War.

It concerns the poisoning of colleagues by an army officer and his cat-and-mouse game with the detective cross-examining him. A gem I bought for 20p from a charity shop and is now no longer in print.

The Devil's Lieutenant by Maria Fagyas.

The descriptions of the Crystal Ring that the vampires use to travel and the use of colour imagery throughout the book are just astonishing. I've read vampire books from an early age starting with Dracula, and this is my favourite by far. This is the first book in a vampire trilogy.
