I was leery of Cocktail reviews after they so thoroughly panned my "Chocolate and Power Tools" offering.
But a five-flute review!
For Arcana!
Review by The Witch of Salem
I have to admit, I’m not much of an m/m reader, and it irks me to no end when I read e-books that have common editorial errors because those pull me out of the read. However, despite those two strikes, I found myself yanked right into Tuition Fees.
This short title is co-authored by two very talented writers. Brooks and Sparrow have written an m/m romance that is both unique and very well written.
I’ve never encountered an m/m story that involved partner abuse before. The story about Christian and his roommate lover is both poignant and riveting. Professor Morgenstern is also a vivid and unusual character. I’d tell you more, but by doing so, I’d give the overall plot away. Suffice it to say that Christian’s name is ironic considering his “sentence” and, when the authors added their paranormal spice to this title, I found myself enjoying a grand m/m romance. Even the m/m sex is nicely written.
I’m very impressed by Brook’s and Sparrow’s work and will look for more of their titles in the future. I give Tuition Fees 5 flutes.

It's another of those where I'm never quite sure they read the whole story...
At a Star Wars Convention and dressed as a Jedi master, Chris runs into Imperial storm troopers who take him to a vacant room and tie him to the bed – face down. As Darth Vader, David proceeds to fulfill Chris’ sexual fantasy. A little light bondage and steamy sex, this roll-playing story is quite risqué with lusty characters
*sigh* at least they liked it, even if Dave (not David) is NOT a Vader-player and there are no rolls involved...at least, if there are, I don't want to hear about it.
