Review: Seducing C.C.

Seducing C.C. by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



A little less mature than other works from this author but it completes the feel of the book. The characters range between 10 years old and little over thirty so it makes sense. I kind of expected some struggling from C.C. about suddenly being in an exclusive relationship but his past hangups never really showed. There was some awkwardness at the beginning but it was very well dealt with and the easygoing feel of everything never faltered. They never rushed into anything and it was ideal for the story because it certainly contradicted all the initial talk about C.C.'s lack of commitment.
I did kind of expected some lasting friendship between Astro and Spirit so I was a little disappointed it wasn't mentioned in the end but Astro and C.C.'s romance was more than enough to eclipse that. I really liked it.

Review: Sutcliffe Cove

Sutcliffe Cove by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Full developed story about a cowboy and an accountant. The plot is interesting but really focused on romance. There are some initial problems between them but it went mostly without a hitch. They seemed very good together from the start and it was interesting seeing them so in love. Don't count on many surprises or exciting obstacles on the plot. They seemed like two halves of a whole and there's not much they won't do for the other so it was a calm relationship only getting less calm with sex and boy did they had sex...anywhere and often. Very hot.

Review: A Summer Place

A Summer Place by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This book is a mixture of romance and suspense. The homicide investigation and the killer's way of escaping leaving no traces in his victims just added more excitement to everything. Besides the obvious difficulties of same sex relationships in the year of 1884, this couple has to deal with a murderer with a penchant for gay victims, being boss and employee, age difference and knowing that after the summer one of them is leaving. They do end up happy and together though. I think they both showed incredible strength and confidence. They managed to overcome all threats and difficulties and it was very nice see everything fall into place in their lives.

Review: Paradise

Paradise by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Still a little short but much more developed than this author's other short-stories. The romance is sweet and inspiring and took it's time to form. The couple dealt a little with racism, one being Caucasian and the other Black, but it was subtle and not much of a problem. It was a very light and fast read, very enjoyable and interesting.

Review: Music of the Heart

Music of the Heart by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Well this one was ridiculously mushy. The couple falls in love with each other in a couple hours leading one of them to get shot to save the other, then misconceptions and presumptions lead them both to think the other doesn't love him. After a ridiculously romantic act they finally get together and have their happy ending. Some sexual content. Mild violence and rape.

Review: Testament to Love

Testament to Love by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Slightly more complete story. There is more development in the plot and it's quite interesting seeing the relationship between an angel and a mortal form. Despite all difficulties they end up together and happy. Sexual content present. Very romantic.

Review: Best Ideas

Best Ideas by Ariel Tachna

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Another very short story but also very hot. It seems to be a reunion of three lovers for Christmas after spending some time apart. Very passionate sex. Not a four star rating because it seemed like, despite claims of love between all three, it wasn't exactly equal between them. Gordon almost seemed like a third wheel.
