About the author
J.J. Massa
49 books41 followersSo, about me. I’ve been writing sensual romance—and some other stuff—for about five years now. What a busy five years it’s been, too. I’ve met a lot of great people along the way.
I’m blind and have been for more than a decade. I don’t go anywhere without my best buddy, Cosmo. He’s my guide dog. Once in a while, he turns up in my stories, incognito, of course. He and I travel when we can via planes and trains; we don’t really care for long car trips. Hmmm…what else? We have a couple of cats that keep us on our toes. They’re good for tons of aggravation and entertainment. I got them for Cosmo, but I don’t think he appreciates them as much as he should.
We love the beach, though we don’t get there as often as we’d like. I live on the Jersey Shore so the only excuse I have for not hitting the sand is that it’s cold and besides that, I can’t drive.
When I’m not writing, I teach blind people how to use adaptive technology so that they can surf the web. I meet plenty of interesting people that way and it keeps me from ever getting complacent. …Not to mention the inspiration for stories that I get. It’s a job that keeps on giving. Actually, I’m not sure it’s really a job; more like a thing I do.
Cosmo likes chunky peanut butter and rawhide bones. I drink way too much coffee—black and strong. I like red wine at night sometimes but he’s a teetotaler. He stays away from alcohol and chocolate these days.
And that’s all I can think of just now. I hope you enjoy the website. Mae’s done some great things with it. I’ll keep writing if you keep reading. Just bear with me if I slow down now and then. Thank you. I really appreciate you stopping by.

"What great little story. It had humor, a little suspense, and an actual developing relationship between the main characters. Vanko was someone I could cheer for!!!
Now, if only, Taylish had his own story. Highly recommended read."

April 2, 2009This is a story sweet like the cookies in the title.
Vanko is an ukrainan professor who arrives in US on a search project. He is like a child, but not cause he is a stranger blinded by all the good things he finds in dreamland America, but because he is lost in his mind, in his research and nothing other matters for him. He doesn't seen the malice and jealousness in people around him, he everytime thinks to doing something wrong.
But Galahad (when name is more appropriate) sees it and wants to protect this beautiful little man, even from himself. Galahad is a playboy, a bisexual who has always searched for physical pleasure and can't mix with this innocent guy, who has never kissed before. But like in the old classical story, in the end Galahad has to admit that he can't suffer to see Vanko in the arm of someone else, and maybe his great experience can be only a plus in teaching Vanko all the joy of sex.
Vanko is the classical professor type: too distracted from his work to mind the world around him and so naive and cute, you don't know if you want to shrug him or cuddle him. Galahad is the hero, the knight in shining armor, no one before believes him a good person, and now he has this guy who looks up to him with big and hungry eyes.
An enjoyble reading who left me with the curiosity to know what happens to Taylish...

A refreshing story with a main character who is so tough and alone, you really feel for him. It's a great plot and the characters really suck you into the story, particularly poor vanko!
