About the author

Clare London

148 books434 followers
Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home, she juggles her writing with her other day job as an accountant. She’s written in many genres and across many settings, with award-winning novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she’s just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she’s happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.

Clare currently has several novels sulking at that tricky chapter 3 stage and plenty of other projects in mind . . . she just has to find out where she left them in that frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home.

All the details and free fiction are available at her website. Visit her today and say hello!

Clare also writes as Stella Shaw and launched a new series of rent boy romances in 2021.

How the French toast did I miss this?

MANTIES alone and I'm sold.

Little did I know that I also had in store for me: collars, nipple rings, cock rings, some teasing… SWEET CHEEZUS!

*groans*

My new amigo, Catherine, nailed it. Hard.

Stars: 4.5/5

Not strictly a Halloween tale, this hot little story is sizzling with a touch of sweet. Cross-dressing and power play pack a punch in this short and sexy glimpse into the lives of these two men in an established relationship. Definitely worth a read...or two.

Be sure to check out my other reviews on my blog.

Lovely story... quite arousing. But much too short!

It felt like the enticing prelude of an interesting story. Are they in a master-slave relationship? Are they role-playing? What happened before, what will happen after?

Good suspense, eroticism! If only it had been longer.

This story was really just a quick scene. It was pretty kinky with one of the men wearing black lace panties. There was an implied Dom/Sub role, but other than that I have no feeling for the characters or their relationship. I appreciate that it was a free download offered to readers.

*** 3.5 Stars ***

Well this little morsel was full of kinky fun. Collars, cock rings, and manties. How can a girl go wrong?!

But... Not a thing to do with Halloween. This "Halloween Howl" series is seriously confusing me.

3.5 stars rounded up because it was FREE!
This is just one scene or snapshot but there's panties/manties and growling and teasing and hot SEX! All of my favorite things in a FREE story. It like Christmas in July!

1. Halloween freebie that had nothing to do with Halloween
2. No story, just sex

A hot little kinky story. My only wish was it was longer so that we could get to know the guys a bit better.

I read this story as a freebie Clare's website and I loved it; it's such a wonderful combination of fun and (mild) kink. Just the right thing to follow up with a "proper" story, too :)
