This is a very steamy little short historical. Rys shows up at a ball and manages to avoid everyone shoving their daughters at him as tomorrow he comes into his inheritance and goes in search of someone. Suddenly he is grabbed and shoved into a room and attacked sexually by another man. However you soon discover the other man is Martin, Rys' lover of 4 years and they quite enjoy playing these sexual role-playing games although it becomes clear that Rys has been the instigator in this side of the...more
Review: This was a hot, tense yet very romantic interlude between two charismatic men.

The reader is brought swiftly into an existing relationship, although the story only covers one evening. I went looking for other stories with these characters, but didn’t find any.

As most have said this is a short, but smoking hot story. Ava March writes absolutely delicious regency romances and this short offering is no different. We’re introduced to Rhys, a young man on this 25th birthday about to come into a large inheritance. He has a thirst for adrenaline and risk, thus his sexual appetite. He meets his lover Martin for a quick, BDSM flavored tryst at a ball.
The story is too short to really be more than a delightful, hot encounter. The main character of Rhys is set...more

I have already had the chance to appreciated the M/M regency romance by Ava March and so it’s not news to me that they are indeed well planned and with just the right amount of details to allow the reader to fall into a past era without being overwhelmed.
In this case, a short story, the details are actually as much important as the story itself: two middle class men, already lovers, secretly met at a crowded ball and consume an illicit thirst right under the nose of their guest. From little hin...more

This short begins as Rys prepares to brave a society ball. He’s looking for his lover, Martin and there are some great descriptions of the ball, the people who attend and Rys’s feelings about such an event as he goes from room to room. This description lent a delightful air of anticipation to the story and I was quickly hooked.
Once Rys finds Martin the story moves into an extremely hot sex scene with a hint of BDSM role playing (although not enough that it should be offputting for any readers)....more

I recommend reading the blurb before you read this short story because I think you’ll get so much more out of it if you do. The blurb sets the scene for a very steamy encounter between Rys and Martin.
Although this was a very short story it packed a very sexy punch. Set is 1822 England, Beyond Reckless is about two lovers that have carried on an affair for about four years. While attending a ball, Rys’s lover Martin arranges a sexy interlude as a little birthday present for him. The result is som...more

I've given 4 stars only because this is short (30 pages) and I just wanted more, dang it!
This is basically a very hot scene between two established lovers in 1822 England, while they attend a party at the home of one of the local socialites. Evidently, these two guys like to play, and so they have a scene where Rys is caught by Martin and "forced" to have sex - hot, sweaty, up-against-the-wall sex. Rys "protests" but you know how it goes.

Rys is about to turn 25 and his lover has decided to give him a birthday to remember. In a house filled with members of the ton enjoying one of the endless parties of the Season Martin has set up a scene that is sure to satisfy his thrill seeking lover.

A short but satisfying tale of a sexual encounter between two men at a Regency ball. Opening with Rys working his way through the crowded room towards a tryst with his lover, followed by an extremely hot sex scene with shades of D/s, and a switch to his lover's point of view as they work their way back out of the ball again. There is an elegance to the structure that fits the period perfectly, as they work their way through society towards their risky encounter, and then back out - the whole sto...more
it is mostly sex and I skipped some (lots of) parts. It is difficult for me to read a sex scene when I don't know the characters, their story, their love story. At the end of the book, I wanted to know about the heroes, I wanted their story to be told in a novel or two. The glimpses I got of them made me think they are great characters.
Short stories really grow on me.
So does Ava March's writing style. I love the setting in her novels - ~1822 England. And I love how anything can happen behind closed doors.

only a short scene, but we still get a real sense of the history and the dynamic between these characters. would love to read something longer
Far too short. The characters had great potencial and it could have been so much more. Ava March could have worked a little more.
Still, a pleasure reading :)
The hot sex scene worths it.

Historicals can be difficult to make convincing, but this absolutely was fantastic. Rhys is about to reach his majority, adding riches to his list of positives. He goes to a Ton ball, where his long time love, Martin, has a special birthday surprise planned. Very hot role playing, and I so wish it had been longer.
For short books she does the best. I love this one. Ava's sex scenes are awesome.
Very sweet, not like her others. In this story, there is no angst, no heartache - only love.
SWEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a cute short story. A fun, quick read, but really too short for any significant plot or story development.
Very good steamy short m/m Regency romance about two men who enjoy the thrill of nearly being discovered...
This was a quick, delightful read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the encounter between Rys and Martin, and finding out a little bit about them.
Cute Regency m/m short. I think these characters have been in earlier books (but I haven't read them). 24 pages isn't really enough to get to know 2 men but I am interested enough to check out the earlier books. If I had read the earlier books first I suspect this one would have meant more to me.
ETA: I'm told these characters dont' appear in earlier books.

We hope she writes more about these characters.
Hot and delicious! I really, really hope Ava revisits this couple. Hint. Hint.
Short story in Ava March's style that it lusciously erotic with that tiny bit of D/s. We don't know much about the characters, but they're perfectly matched: Rys seeks thrills and Martin can give them to him. I don't know if I need to know more about them, because they're so clearly in love and lust...

I'm Ava March, an author of smoking hot M/M historical erotic romances. I love writing in the Regency time period, where proper decorum is of the utmost importance, but where anything can happen behind closed doors.
