Dear Author, "How the fuck did I get into this predicament? And look at that fucker, standing behind me with that shit ass grin on his face. When I agreed to go to a party with him after the bar closed, I had no clue that this was the party.
Jesus, he was so god damn sexy in the bar though. He had to be at least 5 years younger, perfect chiseled body. And when we kissed? Fuck! I couldn't keep my hands off of his tight ass. Damn I wanted that... well, look who's in the opposite position.
Fuck! Oh well. Sigh. Fine. Suck me. Fuck me. Make me yours. I don't fucking care anymore. Hopefully, I can walk out of here in the morning without too many bruises. Shit, maybe I'll even ask him for his number when this is over, huh? I bet that will shock the shit out of him."
Here's some more of what I'd like: The MC must be a rocker-like dude, long hair either shoulder length like in the pic or a little longer. Color doesn't matter. He can have tats, etc. But I'd like both guys to be men... no crying, whining -- unless MC is begging "deeper, harder". Some light BDSM, tying, spanking, pulling of hair. Names don't matter.

This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is Always Write" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.
Adrianna Dane (who also writes as Tess Maynard) has been putting pen to paper since the age of ten. She currently resides in the state of Washington and is a member of Romance Writers of America, EPIC. and Broaduniverse.
The first defining love story Adrianna read back in junior high school was "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, and that set her on the road to her long standing love affair with the romance genre. Her inspiration in writing often can be found by listening to song lyrics and reading poetry by such poets as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allen Poe, and Ranier Maria Rilke. But finding inspiration for her stories truly has no boundaries for Adrianna.
She freely admits she is a romantic by nature and adding sensual heat to romance with a dusting of suspense is her motto. "Esmerelda's Secret" released by Amber Quill Press in June of 2004 was Adrianna's first book, and with that story and her subsequent books has firmly established herself as a voice within the sensual/erotic romance genre.

Wow. What an emotional ride. The characterizations are brilliant: sharp, rich, and layered. Both Will and Sinn emerge beautifully, if painfully complete by the end of this short stories. I generally don't enjoy short stories--lack of time to develop both plot and characters so that it doesn't seemed rushed or frivolous, but definitely not the case here. The depth is achieved through a good deal of internal monologue on both characters parts, some may find this inferior, but I believe in order to relay the motivations is necessary especially when addressing elements of BDSM.
The story contains mild to moderate levels of BDSM, and they are exquisite. I have one small misgiving, I'm letting it slide and hope that people don't use stories as primers.
I loved this story and there are some great twists, heartbreaking and breathtaking--the balance is perfect. Due to the one component I'm deducting a star, otherwise...superb.
Favorite quote: Something hardened in Sinn's gaze as he stared at Will. "I don't cry. I never cry. My stepfather taught me that. I don't cry. So do your worst, sweetheart. Do your worst."
“Hot As Sinn” sums up this story quite well and would have been very fitting for the title too!!! Holy hell, sometimes a story just reaches out to you on a visceral level and enthralls you or grabs you by the guts and won’t let go. Yeah, this was one of those for me. The power exchange between these two gripping characters was very intense and their scene really brought out a lot of raw emotions. All of this wrapped up in a free story given as a gift to our m/m romance group – unbelievable! Loved every little bit of it and would shamelessly beg for more … please?
This was really, really good... Just, to me, a little long, a little repetitive on the internal thoughts and back story. But powerful and well-written even so.
Well, I've heard of horse whisperers but this is my first man whisperer. Will Keyser thinks he knows just what jaded rock star and bad-boy, Sinn Midnite, needs. Will has the patience, experience, and general mojo to give it to him too...in his fully equipped 'play' room. And hopefully he can bind the two of them together for more than a one night hook-up (pun intended, yes, there is a steamy, intense BDSM scene).
I really liked the slow reveal about the connection between these two guys. I really liked that the younger Will dominates the seemingly more experienced Sinn, and does it with tenderness. My only quibble is that the story dragged at times as we are put into the guys heads with long, wordy passages when I just wanted them to get to the good stuff already . Still, it was way hot and indeed, delicious. Here's my ongoing LIAW mantra: Can we get more on Will and Sinn? Their story is just beginning.
I liked the way the mystery of Will's identity was hinted at and ultimately unveiled.

This book was completely out of my comfort zone. A whole slew of BDSM in my mind. That being said... I really liked the story. When I started reading it, I wasn't to sure what the ending was going to be... I mean if there was going to be some kind of bloodshed at the end or not... There wasn't! Not even close! The story centers around Will and the lead singer, lead guitarist, and songwriter of a group called "Medusa's Thorn", Sinn Midnite. I loved that name! Well, the first couple of scenes in this story describe Will and Sinn at a club where Sinn is dancing with a partner that is described as a "thin reed blown, claimed, and tossed about by the fierce tornado which of course is Sinn Midnite. The description is excellent. I couldn't read enough after those words ran across the page. Within less than five sentences, the "thin reed" had already cum in his pants from the dancing... and I was laughing my butt off, hoping that there was going to be more to Sinn than that. There was. A lot more. Sinn, has a mysterious past that he alludes to but doesn't really explain until deeper into the story. Will, also has a mysterious past; we don't get his at all until closer to the end! The story is one full of tension and could be considered an emotional roller coaster; it's a great read.
This is a second book in a row that I am reading that can't get it's story out of it's ars... past. Not that "Sinn" is a bad story, but its so firmly lodged in "what had happened" that the present suffers. The other book is Lines in the Sand, if you're curious.
I also found the beginning extremely confusing, what's with hunters and vampires and wolf fangs... - was it originally planned as a shifter/vampire story? - and then later with POV switching and the mentionings of a Bobby by both characters. Until I found out that these Bobbys are actually one and the same (didn't take long, but nonetheless) I had to reread certain paragraphs at least a couple of times. Annoyed the hell out of me.
I liked the characters, and definitely liked that the author showed things from both Will and Sinn's POV. The sexual tension between them was hot, and the sex didn't disappoint. Overall, I enjoyed this, although the backstory was repetitive and some of the longer passages rambled on and on, restating the same idea. I came away with the impression that about a quarter of the story was fluffy filler and could have used some tightening up. Still, a really enjoyable read and a great addition to Love is Always Write.
3.5 stars I was actually surprised how good this was. It was a very well rounded story that let us get to know the characters enough that the progression felt natural. A few times Sinn talked and talked and revealed more than I think he actually would have... but the sex was hot and I enjoyed it. :)
Part of Love is Always Write - Volume 3 "One night, between one day and the next, had altered everything. One man had changed everything." Good short story that takes place over one night as two men, Sinn and Will, have a sexual encounter that changes both their lives for the better. Nicely paced with some BDSM. Will's obsession with Sinn and understanding exactly what Sinn needed was a little unlikely but still made a good story.
4.5 Wow this took me by complete surprise. I love the opening scene with Will scanning the club looking for Sinn. Sinn is dancing with some young guy who gets over excited and well he comes in his pants. lol This book was more than sex. It has D/S and was tastefully done. But it also has a touching story that was heartbreaking and beautiful. I will looking for more books by this author.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the story, the mystery surrounding Will was good and it was seriously hot. However, the writing didn't really hold my attention. The back story was rambling and repetitive and I found myself skimming on quite a few occasions.
Sinn is broken in so many ways. Broken by abuse at the hands of others and himself. He needs someone to give him hope, love, acceptance and light. Will amazes me with his insight and willingness to put himself on the line. He gives Sinn what he needs to break down the walls around his heart and find healing. He's also willing to let him go if that is what Sinn wants. He's willing to break his own heart to give the man he's been in love with his entire life everything to make him whole. Adult read
I do not like stories with BDSM. The first spanking leaves me skimming to the end of the scene, and if it gets too violent for me, I just stop reading. This story was the exception. It was so well done and so emotional that I enjoyed it and was in awe of the skill of the author. That is not to say I read every detail here involving clamps or whips, and it did not extend to me tolerating a BDSM story later in the collection.
There were a few slow moments in the beginning but other than that well paced. My only real grievance had to do with Will leaving Sinn cuffed and gagged while he went to have a shower - that had me screaming at my screen.
Rich characterisation, an intense and emotional story telling.

Yay! This was a wonderful story for my Dear Author letter. It had everything in the letter and more. :)
And the storyline! Wow! That is what kept me reading till the very end. I loved how every piece fit together. Adored Will and Sinn's desire, the sexual tension between them... *fans self*.
I could not put this book down! At first I thought it was just going to be man meets man, have great sex and fall in love. But no, the author threw a curve ball! Sinn meets Will who is determine to break the chains that are keeping Sinn locked to his past. Read this and discover how Will helps Sinn breaks those chains. Delicious!!
I couldn't stop reading. That was an emotional rollercoaster. Amazing characters with background stories about broken dreams and broken souls, coming together for a night that might break them. But sometimes we need to be broken to be whole again. Damn, that one will stay with me for a while.
what a treasure to find on the free list on Amazon this book was being from the start. the description of the characters as animals to be tamed for at least one night Will 's identity is hinted at and when it's revealed you fall even harder for him Sinn is so messed up you have to wonder what Will can do for him
Wow! This was intense! I loved the way the story slowly unfolded. The passion and chemistry between Sinn and Will was hot! The build up was so well done, the descriptions amazing. Once I started reading this I couldn't stop. I definitely want to read more by this author.
Delicious is not only in the title of this story, but also in the writing, characters, their growing tension-filled relationship, and the BDSM scenes. It was everything a good BDSM story should be. I loved it!
Although, not as expert as Will, I think I could really enjoy that playroom. A great exploration of limits. With the right partner these explorations can be exhilarating and very pleasurable. A very hot little read.
Sinn has been used and abused and pretty much running from himself and his needs. Will wants him but as they get started he realizing healing him is even more important. This story is delicious with a raw edge and burning need. Great story. Andranna thanks for your contribution.
