Review
This is a very short fantasy novella. It’s filled with
magic, mystical creatures, and a lot of sex. We have this man Callum who’s lost
in the woods. He comes upon a dark creature, sex crazed fairies, and a
shrieking lady that signifies death.
There was a massive amount of debauchery in this story. There was also,
in the short span of this tale, multiple love stories taking place. People and
creatures finding their forevers. It was very entertaining and great if you’re
looking for short, sweet, and sexy.
Excerpt
He blinked his eyes open and stared at the stranger’s rough
coat under his cheek. Moonlight caught in pale strands of hair mixed with
Callum’s own auburn locks across a shoulder and down the man’s arm. Something
twisted inside him; he longed to see this every morning he awakened. The
person’s chest rose on a deep breath, his arms tightening briefly, and Callum
grew conscious of the strong thighs and hard press of an erection against his
hip.
A sigh escaped him. He wanted this to be real. He’d been a
week on the road with no prospects of work, looked at with mistrust and
unfriendliness by the people he met. It tore at his lonely heart, though he understood
their reticence. The moors were a harsh, dangerous place to live. He hadn’t
wanted to come north, but as the youngest son he had to take the direction that
was left after his brothers chose the safer paths.
Ashamed of the tears that pricked his eyes, he tried to sit
up, and turned in surprise when he wasn’t released from the stranger’s hold.
His breath caught in his throat. The man was everything Callum found beautiful:
carelessly handsome, with silver-blond hair falling in waves past his shoulders.
Deep blue eyes met his, dancing with mischief, then without warning the man
leaned forward and kissed him on the mouth. Callum moaned when the soft lips
pressed against his, warm and sweet, and whimpered when the stranger drew away.
A brilliant smile leaped across the lovely face, as if the man knew he wanted
to be kissed again.
Callum touched his lips, confused. Had he been bespelled? “I
don’t understand.”
