The Powers of Love #4
With This Ring
Matt DiLorenzo-s ex, Jordan, confesses all to a tabloid, telling the world Matt's secret--something in his semen gives his sexual partners super powers. After the article appears, Matt expects all sorts of weirdos to try to track him down, but the only call he receives is from a research scientist at a local condom factory who claims to have a solution to his little "problem."
The offer is tempting, since the powers Vic Braunson receives from Matt during their lovemaking sessions are unpredictable and scary. Matt wants to keep his lover safe, and is eager to hear what the scientist has to suggest. And Vic is willing to try the cure and lose his superhero abilities for his lover's peace of mind...even if it means losing the special mental connection they share, a bond formed by the powers, a bond that has become such a part of their lives that neither is quite prepared when it suddenly disappears.
Then Vic discovers that the scientist has an agenda of his own. Can he protect Matt, even without his super strength or their mental bond?
PLEASE This story is actually a part of The Powers Of Love series, coming chronologically after the story The Bonds Of Love, yet can be read and fully enjoyed as a stand-alone tale. For further information on the two series mentioned above, please view our "Series" page.

After 5 years together, Vic grew accustomed to the superpowers bestowed on him every time he and Matt made love. Matt worried that his powers would eventually harm Vic. When an Indian researcher reads about Matt’s superpowers in a tabloid magazine, he contacts him and offers a cure. Matt wants to get rid of the powers and live a normal life, so he willingly accepts the offer.
The cure works, but neither man is prepared to deal with the fact that they can no longer communicate telepathically. Doubt and insecurity creep in until Matt decides to visit the doctor so he can make an adjustment to the “ring” that would allow Matt and Vic to keep the telepathic powers, while ridding themselves of the other undesirable ones.
As Matt will soon learn, the “doctor” is not what he appears to be. Vic will have to use every means at his disposal, minus his superpowers, to save Matt from a potentially dangerous situation.
I really enjoyed this fourth installment in the Powers of Love series. Vic's and Matt’s growing love for each other is always very sweet and satisfying. It was nice to see Vic’s boss has a softer and more compassionate side, and I loved how Matt fought off the security guards roughing up Vic.

Five years together, Vic and Matt is still going strong. This story takes event about 1.5 years since Matt's kidnapping. After a story in tabloid tells about Matt's supersemen, Matt gets a call from a doctor from an R&D lab that offers that he can negate the superpower. Matt wants this more than anything because he is so scared that one of these days, Vic's powers will kill him. But after he takes his offer, he finds out that the other beautiful part of the superpower, how he and Vic can connect telepathically, also gone. Does he want that too?
I love this story very much. I feel that the telepathy communication adds the bond between the two and I enjoy how their life is portrayed, their feel, their love. It's so satisfying.
Two things that I have a bit problem though: (1) I though the title leads to the two of them getting married (yes, my own wishful thinking) and (2) It's always said that Vic is nearing his 40 years old birthday, but it's been going on for 5 years now. I wonder ...
On to book #5, then ...

I love these characters ~ they are sweet and fun and the sex is hot.
There are so many unique stories about these guys (38 right now!), it's a blast to follow them. I have their books from all different sources - I suggest going to the author's website to get a complete list and the order they should be read in.
