Marked

by Ella Primrose

MM Spy Thriller! *This is an Erotica Romance Short Story*
Nicolas Darkwater has a hundred lives in his memory, back-stories, pain and regret and the names of people who never actually existed. But he can’t remember much of his own past, only fragments of a nightmare that replays itself over and over in his mind. He was trained to be merciless and unforgiving, an assassin, a spy, but when his path crosses with his new assignment, Theodore Morgan, he is exposed to long-held secrets and begins to second guess everything he knows. Deep under covers with Theodore Morgan, Nicolas struggles with the truth but he must fight against the lingering memories and use his years of training if he is going to finish the task he was assigned to complete; to kill Theodore Morgan.

2.5 The super short length was prohibitive.

Marked is an erotic romance by author Ella Primrose. What happens when a spy has to kill the man he loves?
Nicolas is trained to be a merciless unforgiving assassin, a spy who has no memory.
Theodore has a talent too. Seduction. When these two meet they are bound to have sparks and bullets flying.
Over all really loved this story, has action, adventure, and hot man love heat. It does have a cliff hanger ending. I did like though this is a well rounded out story. If not for the cliff hanger ending I would really super love this one. I would love to read more about these two men in the future and see where they go in life and love.

This is an excellent short story which would make a good prequel to a longer book. We learn how Nicolas Darkwater’s parents were murdered when he was a teenager with him being kidnapped and subsequently brainwashed into becoming a trained assassin. When he is sent to kill Theodore Morgan, he has a flash of a memory which consequently saves Theodore’s life. Theodore fills Nicolas in on the facts behind his life and they hatch a plot to go after Nicolas’ boss and kidnapper.
The story is very dark and builds a good framework building the background to Nicolas and the way he thinks. It was over too quickly for me and I would love to see Nicolas and Theodore come together for a longer adventure and build a relationship together.

I thought this was a very intriguing short, very short, story. It was way to short to get much depth out of the characters but there was enough to make it interesting and wanting more. This would actually be an excellent part of a longer full-length story where we could get a better sense of what is really going on. The blurb describes this as a MM erotic romance but I disagree. It has an erotic edge to it but it is way too dark to be a romance. Yes, there’s an element of attraction between Nicolas and Theodore and Theodore wants Nicolas to stay with him, but beyond that, there is nothing romantic about their situation and behavior.

A very short story that is very confusing and hollow. I honestly have no idea what I just read. There was no character development at all and there really wasn't a definite story/plot. But, it only took 5 minutes to read and it was free, so there's that.
