You can't go wrong trying to convert ...Hi Amie. You can't go wrong trying to convert people to M/M with JCP. I adore her Psycops series. <br /><br />As for Derekica Snake's story, I would almost classify it as erotic horror. There's a lot of violence and non-consensual sex. While I've been known to paint rent boys in a fairly "pretty" light, "That’s What Brothers Do" is a very gritty look into prostitution and organized crime. It's self-published, so there are some typos but nothing that can't be forgiven. There are elements of romance, although I'm not sure how to explain them without giving away the plot and the ending. Truthfully, I'd love to be able to discuss the book with someone else that read it just to see what their take on the romance aspects is. So let me know if you do give it a try. <br /><br />As for Gaven, I would say it's very light D/s if anything. In context with the story and world building, I don't really see it as being BDSM at all.Amanda Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631269469790529611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-27084651901866418972009-08-24T14:17:14.922-04:002009-08-24T14:17:14.922-04:00Hi Amanda, Could you try?

I’d also been sitting on the fence with “Ghosts of Alcatraz” and “Gaven” but I think I’ll take the plunge. There are a few things I tend not to buy, not because it's not well written, but because I don't enjoy them as much. Is “Gaven” a BDSM or D/s? It doesn’t say so but I’ve been burned by that before and look for key words if the blurb now. I’d rather know in advance so I can read it when I’m in the mood for that.<br /><br />I really liked “Hemovore” too. I’m trying to convert some friends to m/m with JCP and Tanya Huff book suggestions. *g* We’ll see how that goes!Amienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-44263691366964442322009-08-24T13:51:23.907-04:002009-08-24T13:51:23.907-04:00I think that's what I liked about all of the b...I think that's what I liked about all of the books, Louisa. None of the four I listed fall into the usual categories. Although, I should probably add that Derekica Snake's book isn't exactly romance. I'm not quite sure which genre I would place it in.Amanda Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17631269469790529611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205240430255489119.post-12189328004820349262009-08-24T13:42:09.610-04:002009-08-24T13:42:09.610-04:00I loved Gaven!
