Back To the When Noah was accepted to take part in an historical reality show, it was a dream come true; to live in the past for a little while, immerse himself in another time. He had no idea he would be randomly chosen as one of the richest men in the settlement. Nor did he have any idea that he would find a kindred spirit, in more ways than one. Ethan was assigned to be one of Noah's servants, and it wasn't long before they discovered their shared love of history, and other things. Cold Hands, Secluded together in the dorms over a long, holiday weekend, Billy and Paul have the opportunity to become better acquainted as roommates and friends. Derek was stuck in a rut. His wonderful boyfriend, Jeremy, catered to Derek's every whim, but when it came to passion, Derek craved a lover that wasn't quite so gentle and understanding. Angry and frustrated, he sought revenge. He found a man who called out to his naughty, raunchy inner slut. But Jeremy might not be the only one surprised to find out about Derek's 'casual encounter'. Ricky has it all, and that's part of the problem. Countless personal assistants and managers organize his celebrity life for him, so that he barely needs to lift a finger. It's not until he hires Jim as a bodyguard that he realizes he can't pay everyone to kiss his ass. The Perfect No one wants to be alone at Christmas time. For Jeffrey, being away from his family was hard but his walk home reminded him of those who had it so much worse. When he offers to buy a homeless man a cup of coffee, he doesn't realize just how much the stranger could change his life. Kicked out of the emergency room for having no insurance, the surprisingly eloquent stranger has no memory of his life before he was knocked unconscious in the park. Despite everyone's assumptions, he is neither drunk nor crazy. Will the random act of kindness turn into a Christmas miracle?

April 17, 2009Back To The Past by Jade Falconer
Noah and Ethan are two characters in an historical reality program. They have to play the roles of pioneers in a frontier setting, Noah in the role of the landowner and Ethan the manservant.
In real world, Noah is a software consulting and Ethan an history professor, even if this last has not the body to fit the real work, and instead is more in role with the fiction: he is a big and strong man. Noah instead is a classical pretty cute bottom. From the first time they meet, there is mutual attraction, and they will take all the chance they have to stay together.
The story is pretty short, less than 50 pages, and it's almost spent in describing the relationship between Noah and Ethan. There are only some hints on the fact that they are playing in a reality, and the outside world to their relationship is almost inexistent.
I like both Noah and Ethan as characters, they are the classical bottom and top, and as in almost all the stories by Jad Falconer, Noah is very pretty, almost feminine. Ethan instead, even if very strong in body, and with a dominant attitude, is also a very caring man, and it's quite interesting to see the contrast between a rough exterior and the quite deep interior of this character.
I think that the idea, the historical reality program, and the characters would deserve a bit longer novel.
Cold Hands, Warm... by Jade Falconer
Wow... this short novel is pure liquid hot! It's months I didn't find a story who appeal to me so much like this one.
Billy is an eighteen years old guy for the first time far from home and alone in a college. He doesn't the money to return home for a long weekend of holiday, so he plans to spend his time in his room, cause outside a snow storm is starting.
Billy is cute and young, with long black hair and a kink for eyeliner... really you can't not understand he is gay and also a pretty one. A really uke.
Paul, his roomate, is always out. He has a part time job and is always in a hurry. But also him is now stuck in the room. And Billy has a really crush on him. He is handsome, like a next door boy. And during the evening, Billy insinuate himself under the barrier of Paul, that willingly surrender him to the passion of this guy.
For Billy is the first sex experience, for Paul the first with a guy. But Jade Falconer manage to tell the story with a delicacy and a way to make it full of passion but also tender. Only a complain: it ends to soon, it is a beautiful one!
Savior by Jade Falconer
Ricky is a spoilt rock star with some attitude problems. And now he is also blackmailed by a nut fan. So his manager hires Jim, a bodyguard. And like in the better tradition Jim is an handsome man, very willing to satisfy every wicked desire of his new employer.
This is a really really short story, you can read it in a bit before going sleep. You have only some hints of Jim, and maybe a better idea of Ricky: Ricky is like all the vip, he doesn't know if the people around him loves him or only want to gain something from him. And when he finds Jim, a person he can trust himself, he is gladly to leave the command to another.
The Perfect Gift by Jade Falconer
The Perfect Gift it's like those old Christmas movies they make on tv during holiday season: you know them, you have seen them a lot of time and know how they end, but still you watch them again and again.
Jeffrey is a good boy next door. He was born in a little town in Northern California but he has come to live in the big city to find a work. And a work he has found, one that nearly makes him arrive to the end of the month and pay the rent; and for Christmas he has only two day, so there is no time to go home. He is ready to spend the days alone with his cat when, back home from office he sees an homeless he has never seen before. He is young and, despite the dirty, also cute and very lonely. He doesn't beg for help or money, he stays alone in a corner. The day before Christmas Jeffrey has no heart to leave him alone and under the snow and so he takes him home. And he discovers that "his" homeless is a man with an amnesia case and he is not only cute, he is really stunning under the dirty. Jeffrey is in big trouble cause his pity case is turning in a impossible and unlikely love.
Jeffrey is what I meant for Christmas movie: he is too good to be true. And he is someone you hope to find (maybe under the Christmas Tree!). Shane (the homeless) is strong willed but with a fragile body: his appereance make you want to cuddle him and at the same time make sex with him. It's the perfect match for the protectiveness feeling of Jeffrey.
The story is pretty short, 40 pages, but it's very romantic and "classical": a perfect Christmas reading for who still believe in love at first sight.
