From Rosemary DuBose, Joyfully Reviewed
JOYFULLY RECOMMENDED!...An erotic tale of problem solving with sizzling love scenes. I found the story enjoyable and I’m torn between Rulik and Shayan as my favorites. I also liked the different traditions between the two planets. I think Lyndi Lamont has created a Sci-Fi keeper.
From Isabella, Fallen Angel Reviews
4 ANGELS!...An incredibly entertaining book. The interaction between the characters is sweet and erotic and you won’t be able to help becoming involved with Rulik and Shayan...The story is fast paced and compelling, while the sensual scenes turn up the heat, but be ready for a surprise twist...I will certainly be looking for more books from Lyndi.
From Anya Khan, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 Stars!...One of the most romantic predominantly gay books I have read in a long while. While both men are physically strong and alpha, their feelings were beautifully described. Ms. Lamont achieved the perfect combination...[She] is now on my 'must read' list.
Excerpt:
...Rulik turned to Shayan. “What questions did you have about the security arrangements?”
“None. Arpana was just giving me permission to linger and enjoy your company.”
Shayan’s smile caused Rulik’s heart to race. He picked up his wine glass and gulped it as he tried to think of something to say.
Shayan’s smile faltered, and he rose. “Please excuse me for a moment.”
After he disappeared into the small lav connected to the officers’ mess, Rulik stood and gazed out the window at the black reaches of space. He wanted Shayan in the worst possible way. His heart was pounding, every nerve felt alive, and his cock was at half staff already. He was glad his long tunic jacket hid the evidence of his need.
The question was, did Shayan feel the same way? Many Mhajavi men were bisexual, so there was no taboo against them being together. But given the way Shayan had tensed earlier when Rulik touched him, he wasn’t sure if his advances would be welcome.
When Shayan finished in the lav, he walked up to Rulik and stood close beside him, shoulder to shoulder, but not quite touching. Rulik stared at their reflection in the window. Shayan was half a head taller, and dark to Rulik’s fairness. Rulik imagined what it would be like to lie with him, to see the contrast in their skin tones. Longed to kiss and fondle and fuck the other man. His cock grew longer and heavier.
“It is a magnificent sight,” Shayan remarked quietly. “So vast, so empty, so awesome. The universe in its entirety.”
“Yes,” Rulik whispered. “It dwarfs all of us.”
“So it seems. My people believe we are all part of this universe, brought to a mortal existence to experience life, to learn, to suffer, and to rejoice. Most of all, to learn to love.”
Rulik glanced at him in the window. “Have you learned to love?”
Shayan turned and looked directly into Rulik’s eyes. “I am still learning. Will you help me?”
Rulik felt relief wash through him. “I thought you’d never ask.” He reached up to pull Shayan’s head down to meet his mouth, tangling his fingers in the black curls. Their mouths met, lips and tongues exploring and melding.
Shayan’s hands found their way to Rulik’s hips, then his buttocks, pulling their lower bodies close. Rulik rubbed his groin, feeling Shayan’s erection, as large as his own.
“Clothes…off,” he gasped between kisses.
Shayan fumbled with the buttons of his tunic as Rulik toed off his shoes, glad he hadn’t worn his boots tonight. His shirt and pants followed the tunic, hurriedly tossed over the back of a chair. Then he turned his attention to Shayan, slowly undoing the buttons of his white linen suit jacket and shirt. He pushed off the clothes, running his hands over Shayan’s broad shoulders and down his smooth brown chest.
Rulik paused to kiss his way back up to Shayan’s mouth, up the corded column of his neck, along his jaw, bristly with short black hairs, to his sensual mouth. As they kissed, Shayan ran his hands over Rulik’s sides, back and buttocks, lingering in the sensitive area above his anus. He groaned into Shayan’s mouth and pressed his groin against the crisp linen of his pants, enjoying the rasping sensation.
Breaking the kiss, Rulik dropped to his knees, unbuttoned Shayan’s pants, and pushed them to the floor. His cock stood out proudly, long and slender as the man himself. Rulik took it in his hands, eliciting a groan from Shayan.
“Magnificent,” Rulik whispered. “I wonder if it tastes as good as it looks...”
