KLT23 by Missy Welsh is a futuristic erotic comedy that finds a new way to explore the ever-intriguing Pygmalion theme of a creator who falls in love with his creation. Set against the amusingly unromantic backdrop of both the spit-and-polish military and the abstract world of scientific research, the story has fun with the idea of sex as just another variable in the experiment.
In this particular future, no one in the military could possibly care less if a soldier turns out to be gay – especiall...more

KTL23 is a steamy e-book quickie told from the first-person point-of-view of a soldier who falls for the genetically engineered warrior that he's been guarding. When the man, who Horatio has dubbed Kelty, starts exhibiting symptoms of illness and the scientists believe the cure is sex, Horatio is more than willing to volunteer himself to “heal” Kelty. Thinking this was probably a one-time thing, Horatio wanted to keep some emotional distance between them, but I love how o...more

I needed a short read in between all those murder mysteries I stuffed my brain with; and this one turned out to be perfect. For only 22 pages, it infuses cuteness and sensuality, when Sergeant Horatio Muir "helps" a genetically super-soldier KLT23 (whom he endearingly called "Kelty") to cure the illness by having sex. As Kelty learns the gay sex, I have a big smile on my face, OMG he's so cute.

I realized that I haven't rated this story, so I had to read it again and it's still awesome. Sexy, funny and well-rounded short. Muir's voice is great and he and Kelty are fantastic together. My favorite quote: Jesus, God, and beautiful twinks everywhere!. XD
I want a sequel, but, so far, no such luck. Please, please, please?
Highly, highly recommended.

Usually I am not a big fan of short stories, as I tend to like longer narratives, but this story by Missy Welsh is perfectly constructed. I felt like I had a good grasp of the character's emotions and motivations (in only a few thousand words!) plus it was just so much fun to read. Highly recommended!
**** 4.5 ****
I was a little apprehensive with the first person, but being one of Missy's stories and being m/m I couldn't hold back on reading it. It's based in the future from what I gathered and I liked it. Not a miss for Missy, but another hit with this author in my books.

Oh my! What fabulous fun! Devious Kelty getting what he wants, and Muir pretty darned happy about it. This little gem was the perfect way to end a hectic Monday on a high note. I'd really love to see some more of these two. Hint hint! Write, Ms. Welsh! Write!
This is a really great short story.
I loved that Kelty was so excited by being given a name from the man he had a crush on.
And how excited Horatio was with just about everything!
Horatio's last name was Muir, any relation to Griffin of Damon Suede's Hot Head?

I really enjoyed this short hot story. It is rare that I feel like a short story has enough plot that I feel good about the sex (I am not a huge fan of PWP) but I enjoyed being in Muir's head and it felt like there was a real connection. Kelty was awesome too. I won't say why cause it would be a spoiler but he rocks. =)
Wonderful short story. Concise, imaginative, and funny. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a tale so much... or laughed so hard. This one really tickled my funny bone. For a quick, fun read, pick this one up!
When you're in the mood for a short, smokin hot read? OMG, this is it! Loved the sly devious Kelty pulling one over on his handlers and Muir. EXCELLENT. :D
Oh, this was sweet and funny, and I did so like Muir and Kelty.
I started off not liking the experimental situation KTL23 was in, but then through Muir's POV things became clearer :)
I also liked the twist at the end and loved the clever logic Kelty applied. Great story !!

I am not really into prolonged sex scenes. But this wasn't bad at all and the plot, however little, was interesting.

This short story was to short and the plot to non developed for better rating. For my taste definitely to simple.
3.5 stars. A cute short story that packs a fair amount of emotion and characterization within 20 odd pages.
Hot, but too short and the characters were not developed enough even for a short story.
Loved it. Lol moments!!!! Hope there is a sequel to this one.
A cute , sweet short!
But I sure would like an epilog or sequel.:)

This is adorable. When I look at your book list, Missy, I better find more of these two! ;)
Really, really short. Makes you wonder what happens next.
Loved Muir's voice and Kelty was a doll. But, I want more. What happens next? :-)
It was short, but cute, with a touch of humor, sexy and it had a nice plot twist at the end. A very enjoyable read.
I will admit I put off reading this book because of the title and generic cover. The cover is used at MLR too much and the title KLT23 just didn’t appeal to me. I am saying that so that if you haven’t read it for the same reasons you’re missing out.
It was a cute short story that is probably half a sex scene but it was really intimate and enjoyable so I would recommend this

Romance has always been the main theme of her writing, even when she was twelve and concocting little tales for her friends. She grew up watching tough-guy action movies with her dad and stealing her mom’s romance novels, so it seemed perfectly normal to pair up the two and see what happened. As long as there are men being brave and falling love, Missy plans to fantasize about them— Um, she means...more
