Blurb: Take no prisoner. Show no mercy. Trust no soul. And vengeance shall be yours…

Prince Chien is determined to claim his birthright — the Throne of a Thousand Swords — denied by his wicked aunt, Empress Mai. He has successfully turned her two equally wicked sons, Prince Minh and Prince Tuan, into dueling each other for the throne. Hiding a vial of EverBloody, Prince Chien attempts to poison their foods at the banquet. No matter who win the duel tomorrow, both wicked princes will die.

One cut to the skin, and blood will flow relentless. Prince Chien will make his aunt suffer every second in watching her beloved sons die a slow painful death. Afterward, he will take her head and the crown that sits upon it. Only then will he have successfully eliminated all the traitors who helped kill his mother and his younger sister in the palace coup thirteen years ago.

Only one person stands in his way — General Bao. Prince Chien has skirted around court intrigues, planned successful assassinations, and demurred himself as a dunce prince. But love is the one thing Prince Chien never thought he would had to face. Whoever said that those who embark on a journey of revenge should dig two graves was not wise enough to realize love could do exactly the same thing.

This story was written for the Love is Always Write event at the M/M Romance Group on GoodReads.

Review: I don’t know how I missed this one when the free stories in last year’s Goodreads M/M Romance Group came around. I’m definitely a fan of Isabella Carter (especially after reading her recent full length novel A Shadow of a Dream), but this one slipped through the net. I’m happy to get the chance to review it now, because as excited as I was to review this short, I was even happier once I’d read it.

Prince Chien has been nursing his plan for vengeance against his aunt for thirteen years. Then, while he was still a child, his aunt murdered his mother in cold blood, taking the Throne of a Thousand Swords and becoming the Empress, leaving his mother’s body to rot in the streets as a sign of her power. While playing the dutiful fool of a nephew (sometimes too well) he’s been secretly honing his skills, both physical and mental. And through the past years, he’s assassinated each person who took part in the conspiracy to murder his mother one by one.

The story starts just one day before his long plan is to come to fruition. But all has not gone as he’d hoped. General Bao, one of Empress Mai’s most favored, has set his sights on Chien. But their secret trysts have become much more than bed warming to both of them and Chien is unable to decide between his heart and his mind. Bao is an honest and proud man, genuinely good, and Chien knows that the plan of vengeance he’s meant for — that is sanctioned by the gods — should take precedence over his own selfish, secret wishes. The Empress is ruining the country, the people are starving and her greed is ending in the murder of innocents across the country. To do what must me done means, in the end, pitting himself against the man he’s grown to love and who is sworn to protect the Empress.

I have to confess that I did something I don’t normally do before writing up my review. After I finished the story and went to mark it as read on Goodreads, I saw that the story had an overall rating of 3.5 something stars. Honestly, it confused me because I found this story to have really wonderful writing, an interesting plot and characters and I was engaged with it every step of the way. What I found was a really diverse group of ratings, some of which frankly baffled me. Someone said that they found all kinds of errors and horrible pacing and tons of telling instead of showing. Maybe it’s that I have a current incarnation of the story downloaded from Less Than Three Press, which has since been edited. I’m not sure. But, seriously? The story is free, people! And it has little editing because it’s for this annual story writing event. Anyway, I specifically went back to check in the story and I only found three small proofreading errors (missing words, etc.). I actually found the pacing to be wonderful because the format of this story is of the two days where Chien has enacted his final plan to dethrone his aunt and during his actions he reflects upon how he got to where he is and how his plan for vengeance started. No info dump, great pacing, and hardly any telling at all. In fact, the story is almost all present scenes back to back with little transition between them. I also saw some people talking about his sexist and racist this story was… Huh? I won’t even talk about that.

I apologize for turning a review into a rant. I hardly ever use a review to reply to other readers’ reviews, but in this case I thought it was warranted because I had such a different and positive reaction to the story, which I enjoyed immensely. And in the end, I think it comes down to style. As readers, we tend to view the story in the light of how we responded to it. I loved it, so naturally I had a bit of an easier time skimming over it’s faults. If I had hated it, I might not have felt the same, there might have been numerous details that irked me, only because I didn’t find enjoyment in the story, or it didn’t suit me. Maybe some people didn’t like that this is a Cinderella type story, but with a very different and dark twist, with seriously flawed characters… Who knows?

I definitely liked the story, but what I really enjoyed about it and what I feel made the story really successful is twofold: one, the story is character driven instead of world driven, and two, that allows the story to be full of rich detail without trying to do too much for the short format. The romance here is enough for an HFN ending but it shares the stage equally with the machinations of the royal family. There’s little sex and what is written isn’t very explicit, which went well with the mood. Most of all, I found the writing to be really beautiful. The writing has a heavily reflective mood. Prince Chien’s narration reflects his own mood — apprehensive, eager, somber, nervous, driven and determined. No matter how his own coup ends, it ends in death either way. And that slowly encroaching ending has a heavy finality that is only sometimes pierced by the hope and regret he feels in relation to General Bao.

My only real complaint is that Empress Mai came across as a storybook villain instead of a real and flawed character. I think that her brand of evil, while easy to show the contrast of good in others, ends up being less effective than it would have been if we understood her a bit more.

So, if you made it this far in such a long and twisted review, I congratulate you! LOL. You might as well go ahead and read the story now. It is free, after all!

The Mask Maker by Spencer Rook

Blurb:

Rumors abound about the mysterious young mask maker, everyone curious as to why he spends all his time hidden away in his house, barely talking past what’s required to complete a job. Determined to learn more about him, Luk agrees to go speak to him about the masks commissioned for a coming festival. What he encounters is a man much more, and much less, than all the rumours warned him about.

Review:

I’m noting this as YA, in part because both characters are 16 years old and there is no explicit sex in the story. Luk and his classmates are preparing for their graduation and during construction of the stage, a lot of time is spent gossiping about the locals, including the young mask maker. Luk feels a bit badly about the things they are saying about him, remembering one interaction he had when they were around 9. He agrees to go and check on the progress of the masks for graduation, but it doesn’t go well when he asks to see the mask maker (who remains hidden during their conversation) and Alexander kicks him out.

However Alexander apologises and they take the opportunity to get to know one another. It seems most of the gossip about Alexander is false and he had a difficult childhood and has been running the family mask business alone for two years since his father died when Alexander was only 14. There’s not much angst, there’s a small falling out when Alexander refuses to attend Luk’s graduation, having cloistered himself for so long he’s nervous to go out.

And maybe that is part of where I had a little confusion. Alexander claims that he has to stay hidden, but really he’s not hideous, I suppose you’d say modern goth, but I couldn’t understand why he, or anyone would consider him so unattractive as to remain hidden. It just didn’t seem to make much sense to me. There were also a couple of times when some modern word usage kind of seemed incongruous to me with the fantasy/magical setting, but it might not bother some others and they aren’t excessive.

If you’re in the mood for some light fantasy this is a cute little story of young boys finding each other in their small village.

Blurb:
When his family suddenly finds themselves in debt, Jonas is forced by his mother to take up work in the royal palace, despite the fact he could be arrested if caught. Worse, Jonas is hired to be a palace whore. Terrified, but desperate, Jonas determines to make the best of the situation until his family’s problems are resolved. But he never expected to catch the eye of the crown prince, or the hostile and conniving minstrel perpetually at the prince’s side.

Review:
Jonas is sent away from home by his aristocratic mother to find work in the city after the family falls into desperate straits. He knows that the best work is to be found at the palace and soon finds himself employed as what he thinks is a servant. Unfortunately he’s been tricked and his role is that of a prostitute. Jonas’ good looks catch the eye of the prince’s friend who snaps him up for the prince.

The premise to this story was slightly contrived, in that there didn’t seem to be a wholly realistic reason for Jonas in particular to be sent out to work, nor is this properly explained. It felt to me like a forced set-up to get Jonas where he needed to be – as a whore in the palace – and so in the end I just went with it.

Once Jonas gets to the palace, the story picks up and I liked the way that the author had incorporated the historical fantasy setting, with some nice touches to the world building which built up a slightly sinister atmosphere within the castle. I liked the cautious friendship Jonas builds with another of the castle prostitutes who acts as a mentor and adviser. The scenes with Jonas and the prince were done well too and I was really starting to enjoy myself with the story. However, it was getting close to the end of the book and I wasn’t sure how the author would wrap up the story in such a short time. The answer was she didn’t, as the story just stops and we get a ‘to be continued’. This was very annoying because the book is described as ‘book 1 of Serving Royalty‘ by the publisher. In fact it’s not a whole book but half a book and this was intensely frustrating.

Overall, the sudden end spoiled my enjoyment of the book, despite some good characterisation in Jonas and a story which was building nicely. My advice would be to wait until the rest of the book is published and buy together if you want to avoid an annoying ending.

Blurb:

Standing in a meadow late at night, not really certain why, Joel is shocked when he encounters a unicorn—one that turns into a beautiful young man. Joel aches to be closer to the unicorn, but everyone knows unicorns only approach virgins. After a brutal attack that left him broken and afraid, Joel is no longer that.

Then hunters appear, determined to take down the unicorn, and Joel will have to overcome the horrors of his past in order to save his chance at a future.

Review:

It took me a bit to realize this was a contemporary story as it starts out rather more like a fantasy story, with Joel waiting in a meadow after having being mysteriously told by a teacher in his youth that he is meant for bigger things. Some pull brings him to the meadow and when he sees the unicorn he panics. In some ways he knows that he’s meant for the unicorn, but he is also aware that unicorns must be with someone pure, and after suffering a traumatic rape, Joel no longer considers himself pure and suffers PTSD following the attack, with the idea of anyone touching him terrifying.

However when someone attacks him with an arrow, the unicorn who goes to his defence also gets injured and he ends up bonding to the unicorn before they both pass out, only to be rescued by the unicorn’s mother. This was an interesting story and I love unusual shifters, having only read one unicorn shifter before, but I was at times a bit lost in the logic of the mythology. Apparently Joel had been chosen as a unicorn’s mate, even before the unicorn, Laburne, was born. Yet when his parents died and he had to live in foster care, which while not awful was not pleasant, they didn’t do anything but watch and did not act in time to stop the rape, although prevented it from being possibly worse.

There was a whole subplot of the hunters who harvested unicorn blood and tears of unicorns to sell for magic potions, eventually their horn as well, however if the unicorn is bonded to a mate, they could no longer pursue him because they could not seduce him any longer. It came across as a bit convenient, however Joel starts to feel guilty because Laburne is now bound to a man who can’t stand to be touched. The fact that Laburne can read Joel’s mind and emotions makes him extra-sensitive to Joel’s fears, which endears him to Joel. There is a another bit of convenience, with Joel getting past his fears a bit easily, but in the context of a paranormal and magic I can overlook that which in a straight contemporary would have me rolling my eyes.

The relationship with Laburne’s little sister and some of the hinted fact that those who control a unicorn often use it to their own advantage, but Joel is very aware of not being demanding and letting Laburne have his own opinions and choices in life. So it was a sweet story, with some interesting imagery of the unicorns and the life they led including the fear of the hunters. If you are looking for a shifter that is not a wolf or a cat, it’s worth a read and I do like this author’s voice who has written several dragon stories.

The Novelty Maker by Sasha L. Miller

Blurb:
As often as he can possibly manage, Cole slips away from the parties and teas inflicted upon him by his mother to visit Harlowe, the brilliant, mercurial novelty maker he met several months ago when commissioning a piece for his mother. Overwhelmed with work, and preferring to avoid people, Harlowe is not an easy person to know, and Cole values too much their hard-won friendship to ever risk it by telling Harlowe of his true feelings. Then Harlowe begins to receive letters from a secret admirer…

Review:
Cole is a wealthy man who is close to his family, even if his brother is a little annoying and his mother keeps trying to set him up with women. He’s also attracted to Harlowe, a brilliant maker of novelty items whose scarred face is hidden behind a mask. Each day, Cole visits Harlowe who works too hard thanks to a bad-tempered employer, but he cannot find the words to tell Harlowe how he feels about him.

This was a sweet and amusing story of two men who seem quite opposite and yet have developed a friendship. I liked Cole, despite his excuses for not confessing his feelings for Harlowe. It was amusing to see the jealousy when he agrees to investigate who is sending love letters to Harlowe, especially because this turned out to have a humourous twist to the story.

Harlowe is a little more difficult to understand but I felt that the author had done a good job in showing him to be lonely and unused to simple friendship. I liked that he had a certain arrogance about his work. He knows he’s good, and so throws himself into each project, hiding himself away in the process. It was sweet to see Cole breaking down the defences that Harlowe had built up and therefore making the romance work at the end.

This is more a character based fantasy than one with a vivid or strong setting. I didn’t mind that because I liked both characters and the setting worked in the context of the story and I finished the story feeling that I’d had a satisfying and romantic read. It’s also free, so there’s no excuse not to give the story a go!

Rusty’s Surprise by Zach Sweets

Blurb:
Rusty is excited for Valentine’s Day: he has a couple of surprises in mind for his lover that he knows will do much more than please; everything from sweet to kinky to ensure a memorable holiday. Locked away in their basement for a night of uninterrupted fun, they miss an surprise of an entirely different nature…

Review:
Rusty comes home early for work to set up a surprise present for his lover as well as make his favourite dinner. When Hal returns home they get up to some kinky fun before both have another surprise.

One of the things I liked about this story is that it features a deaf protagonist. This was handled sensitively and showed some of the difficulties that deaf people have to overcome. I liked Rusty, especially his enthusiasm for making the day special for his lover. I also found the scenes between Hal and Rusty very sweet and moving – as well as hot. Their love for each other shines through the story in their actions. It made the story more than just a hot, kinky sex scene.

It was rather unfortunate then that I struggled with the writing, which was simplistic, and the style, which relied on too much extraneous and unnecessary dull information. The read gets a run-down of every single minute action that Rusty undertakes before Hal gets home, much of which is not needed and everything is over-explained:

“Leaving at noon was the perfect timing to beat the traffic. It took him under twenty-five minutes to drive home. During rush hour, it’d take him around forty to forty-five minutes.”

Far too much of the first part of the story is spent telling the reader what Rusty is doing and it didn’t really grab my attention. There’s a twist at the end which I think readers are either going to love or hate. I thought it was inventive and surprising but also a little bit daft.

Overall, this wasn’t a story which stylistically worked too well for me, but it was saved by a sweet narrator in Rusty, and the hot but tender romance between him and Hal.

Blurb:
On a journey to meet his fiancé and begin wedding preparations, Prince Diggory is betrayed by his bodyguard, who intends to steal Diggory’s life. Left for dead in a river, the last thing Diggory expects is to live.

But surviving is only half the battle, and Diggory will have to figure out how to work around the constraints of a terrible curse if he hopes to stop the man who betrayed him and gain back his life.

Review:
This free story from Megan Derr contains all the things I love about her books. The story has a serious theme of betrayal and injury but it’s handled with such a deft touch that the tone of the book is light and breezy.

Prince Diggory wakes up after being betrayed and cursed by his bodyguard, Benoit. He was on his way to meet his fiance but now finds that the bodyguard has usurped his place and Diggory is unable to expose Benoit without the curse killing him. By luck Diggory finds employment as the stable hand to the prince and uses this opportunity to seek out a way to expose the deceiver without waking the dormant curse.

I really enjoyed this short which managed to combine a very likable character in Diggory with a certain amount of narrative tension. It’s obvious that Diggory and his prince fiance are perfect for each other and the scenes where they are together shine with Diggory’s attraction and the increasing regard from the prince. The use of the letters in foreshadowing the attraction was cleverly done and this, coupled with the on page interaction, allowed for the happy ending to take place.

For such a short story there’s a lot packed in but it never felt overcrowded. Instead I read quickly, eager to discover how Diggory would beak the curse and looking forward to a time. I also rather liked that Diggory was no soft-touch and the bloodthirsty way he dispatches his enemies provided me with a grim satisfaction.

Overall, this was a very entertaining and enjoyable story, with the only downside being that we never really get to know the prince, and one I would recommend for those who want a free introduction to this author’s work.

Miller has a long history with fire, one he cannot forget as he was disfigured by it. So when the crippled, flying Sasha crashes into his home from exhaustion and burns the whole place down with his unchecked magic, he does the only thing he can think of: he runs into the raging flames and saves the unconscious creature.

Review:

I enjoyed this story with an unusual creature, but would have liked a bit more background information at times. Miller lives in his small house, minding his own business, living with the ghosts of the past when his parents died in a fire and he was disfigured. One day something hits his house and starts it on fire, he escapes, but when he realizes someone is inside, he braves the flames to rescue them. Rain extinguishes the fire, and he begins to rebuild his house while nursing the man back to health.

Sasha wakes and is upset by what he’s done and believes he cased Miller’s injuries. When Sasha’s emotions get the better of him, the fires happen. After some time he starts to recover and when Miller hears him singing, he realizes that Sasha is a Phoenix, only Sasha is defective and can not shift from his human form. His family treated him badly and actually abandoned him. He was searching for them when he crashed at Miller’s. There is also the plot of the local Council who want Miller’s property, and demand he send Sasha way, but as the property is outside the Council limits he sends them on their way. On the day they have to go to the village, they are attacked and Miller nearly killed and Sasha let’s fly with the fire.

You don’t get to know too much about the Phoenix’s, and I wanted to get a bit more information about the death of Miller’s parents because given that the Council attempted to kill Miller, I had to wonder if the reason he’d been unable to wake his parents during the fire was because the Council had taken action, but it’s not really discussed further. It was also amusing to see Miller be slightly dominant, much to Sasha’s dismay. But he did what Miller said, including learning to meditate to control his fire. He was a bit like a pouty child at times, with Miller being the sensible one.

If you are looking for a creature that is out of the norm, I don’t think I’ve ever read a Phoenix before, not as such anyway, it’s worth picking up. Miller was a lovely character, a sensible strong man laden with guilt over his parents’ deaths and Sasha helps him through that, and Sasha finds acceptance in Miller he never found in his family.

Blurb:

Joss has been in love with his best friend, the one man who accepts him for what he is—pumps and all—for years. But Gus has never shown interest in anything but friendship, and Joss would do anything, even suffer in silence, to avoid jeopardizing what they already have.

Blurb:

This follows a pretty standard friends-to-lovers trope and I didn’t mind that so much, I just never really got a feel for them as a couple. Joss is a cross-dresser. He’s never really found someone who understands, in fact most people confuse it with being trans*, but he doesn’t care. He loves his girly clothes, he loves being the centre of attention as his friend Gus often reminds him, he’s a very happy guy. He keeps telling us this.

On New Year’s Eve, Gus contacts him early and invites him to a New Year’s Eve party on a boat. Joss is thrilled and can’t wait to dance up a storm. He’s been crushing on Gus for years, but Gus is into BDSM and, as usual, he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship. However on the boat, Gus finally makes a move.

Joss spends a lot of the story telling us about his clothes, how he likes to wear make-up, how he admits he likes to be the centre of attention, and even about his jog he takes. You see him interact with Gus very little, save for the trip to the boat and then their time on the boat once they admit they like each other. Something however leaped out at me. It’s New Year’s Eve, Joss goes jogging (during the day) and he wears shorts and a tank top. Um. I’ve been to Chicago in December. I damn near froze my butt off. He also wears an off the shoulder top on a boat, on Lake Michigan with NO COAT in January. I couldn’t get past the fact that it was insane. People in Chicago do not go running in shorts in winter, unless it’s some kind of freaky warm spell, which maybe it was, but I kept thinking, “Nooooo. Too cold.”

I did like that Joss has a closet full of multi-colored Converse shoes, and he is flamboyant and accepts who he is, but the cross-dressing didn’t really come into it much beyond his thoughts about it. He wore jeans and sneakers to the party, so it wasn’t like we got to see anyone address his cross-dressing, or see Gus’ defence of his friend. I think there was a lot of potential here with the cross-dressing theme, but it was just kind of glossed over as one of his “things”, but not explored more.

Fans of friends-to-lovers may enjoy this, but if you are hoping the cross-dressing angle will be more prominent, you’ll be disappointed.

Esen has spent his entire life an outcast, and he threw out his last chance at fitting in when he broke the engagement his family worked so hard to arrange. Sent to the royal palace to fulfill one last duty, he counts the hours until he is literally left homeless and destitute. But hiding away in the royal garden, he accidentally overhears a private conversation and meets the mysterious Queen’s Man …

Review:
Essen is a Sylph which means he can change into the wind. After a childhood of being shunned by his rich, influential family, Essen is betrothed by them to a man he has never met. The story begins after Essen has broken the engagement. The gossip is rife in the court and so he hides in the garden to escaped the stares where he accidentally overhears Gaston breaking up with his lover. He tries to retreat but Gaston sees him and before he knows what’s happening Essen is travelling with Gaston to help with a diplomatic mission.

The best part of this story was the character of Essen. I really liked the sylph aspect and the way the author made it so vivid and real. I felt all of Essen’s longing for the wind and the problems he has of not staying in his wind form for too long. He’s a bit of a typical Megan Derr downtrodden character but that made him all the more sympathetic.

What worked less well was Essen’s relationship with Gaston. There’s wasn’t enough time in the story with all the other things going on – politics, intrigue, action scenes and Essen’s background – to really give the romance a chance to develop so it seemed to swiftly done with much of the ‘getting to know you’ build up to the romance happening off page.

So overall, whilst I liked Essen and I did like the way we find out about who and what Gaston is, I wish things hadn’t been quite so rushed. It’s not a bad story though, and one which should be enjoyed by fantasy fans.
