Devil's Halo
Dear Author,
The Sanders twins have been my band mates for years, but I've never seen them really happy: not when we signed our first record deal, not when we won our first Grammy and not when either of them had a boyfriend. Lately, when they think I'm not seeing them, they look at me, and I feel things I thought I'd never feel again. I want them to be happy forever, with me.
(P.S. - there must be twincest and no cheating involved, otherwise, be my guest.)
Photo Description: Two identical, handsome, young, blond men sitting; one with his arms around the other.
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.
Read the story here or find it in Love Is Always Write: Volume 3.

Rik and Lars are identical twins, and lovers in secret. They are both in love with Dion Fieri, the composer of their band Devil’s Halo. The feeling is mutual, though neither of them acted on the attraction before. Dion is tired seeing the twins with a different groupie every night, and decides to quit the band. Catching the twins in an intimate moment just cements his decision: seeing how much the twins mean each other, he is sure Rik and Lars don’t need a third person in their relationship. The twins convince him otherwise.
Bizarre story, weak execution, no real plot, but lots of struggling with feelings, and an unsatisfying sex scene.

Review to come..

The twins pick up random tricks and always date the same person so its always a three way. This keeps people from suspecting they're sexual together... Lol yeah, seriouslt? no one ever suspected they incestuous? Really? They always hook up with one random trick for one night only and no one suspects?
I hate when they like how did he not know we wanted him? Well maybe cause you're piling up tricks everynight? Oh but they gave him "the look"... And giving him a look as they prance off with their trick doesn't scream "we want you" IMO and they miss how he doesn't look at them with lust in his eyes like he did before Kim... Well why not make a move back then? The twins seem like arrogant idiots.
For a story under 7,000 words this sure is repetitive. We've read how the band started twice now. Read how Kim wanted to take the music darker twice now.
And then the dialogue is so stupid. It's like they aren't even talking to each other. I can't remember names. Can't even tell the characters apart. The guy says one thing about how he doesn't do one night stands. And twins think how they wish for more than one night sand but other guy stubborn. Completely disregarding the previous conversation.
He threw a glass and cut other guys head open. Head wounds bleed a lot but no mention of that as they start having sex
"Skin split and warm blood seeped down his face, but he ignored it, stepping forward as a crying Lars sank to his knees."
He just ignores it and they starts sexing and making out and chewing in lips. How is him sitting there seeping blood over his face while the twins maul him sexy?
So sluttier twin lubes guys cock. Rolls condom on. Then sits on it with a grimace. No lube on the condom or prepping his hole? Unless hes just always lubed and ready to go in that free access to all asshole, I think the condom would slide of no names dick and get lost in slutts gapin manhole.
Love when the other twin stares into his blood soaked eyes and watches the blood gush. It doesn't describe it graphically but the reader knows he has a seeping head wound because slutty twin also a drama queen and throws dishes
I'm glad the twins never cared enough to check his gushing head wound. Or you know apologize for causing it. But are they really going to let him on the plane with an untreated dripping head wound?
This felt really really rushed. An in a story under 7,000 words I really don't think I should be reading the exact same descriptions and details more than once. I got the feeling reading this that the author really just didn't care. Like they couldn't be bothered to even reread the short story they just wrote. That's just the impression the story left me with

I liked this story, what there was of it, because it just seemed like this was just one piece of a full length book. IMO this would make a great full length book, so we could get more background info on all the characters, plus an actual ending. I liked the writing style and thought it had a great flow to it.
Some might be offended or put off by the story content but I think its worth giving it a try.

I flipped past many pages of sex. I liked the twins more than I expected to.

It was kind of an interesting idea that was well executed and well told. One of the twins was a little too weepy for me. The ending had no definite resolution, just a HFN.
Poor grammar and spelling are pet peeves of mine. It drives me crazy when someone is sloppy, especially when an author says she is a former grammar teacher!
Common error number one: Just because a compound word exists does not mean it should be used in all situations. "What that meant for him was a vast array of doors, ANYONE of which could be hiding the twins from him."
Common error number two: Homophones. Usually this one is mixed up the other way. "Dion pried the long slender white fingers LOSE then enclosed Lars’s hand in his own."

The story line is decent. Rik and Lars relationship in the story is not my cuppa tea. If they would have been steps I would've liked the story more. I was frustrated with the serious lack of communication between the characters and the ending felt unfinished. It was way too abrupt and unclear. I'm usually a fan of Lee's work but this one just didn't do it for me.

I started this story with some trepidation. I have never been comfortable with twincest or any other form of sibling romantic love. Regardless I began the story and I'm glad I did, I think the author did and excellent job of making twincest seem believable. Thank you

I really enjoyed this for a short story. I would like to read more from this author but all I see are novellas or more short stories. I'll keep looking and hoping for a novel length book as I think this author has the ability to create characters and stories with a lot more depth and development.

This story has plenty of angst and people realize that there maybe more feelings involved than any of them realize. Like the hint of better things to come.
