This collection features three stories from Torquere Press' Single Shot line. Great stories, great sex, great bargain Featuring: Back Forty, written by BA Tortuga--Rusty's going it alone on the family farm, trying to make ends meet and his breeding scheme work. Too bad he's really a college boy at heart, and having a hard time getting all of the work done all by himself. When he finds Wayne standing next to a broken down truck on the side of the road, it just seems like someone out there was hearing his prayers. Wayne stays on for room and board and a chance to get his truck fixed up, and as they get to know each other, both Wayne and Rusty decide maybe they don't have to go it alone anymore. The Scribe and the Stable Boy, written by Chris Owen and Vic Winter--Best friends Marris and Lukas grew up as boys together in the keep of Lord Darius. One a scribe, the other a stableboy, they both serve Darius faithfully, but Marris goes one step further and falls in love with him, a secret only Lukas knows. Hearing Beauty, written by Mike Shade - In a world where beauty is prized, Toby is blind. His parents have protected him from the world, but despair about what will become of him as he is useless, broken. Along comes Derik, a spy who was caught and spent years being tortured before escaping and returning home. Scared and ugly, even his voice was changed by his experiences. He too, is broken. So what happens when the young man who can't see with his eyes falls in love with the raspy growl that is Derik's voice? What happens when Toby's presence is the only thing that keeps Derik's demons at bay? No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Then he meets Derik, a good man, not so wealthy like him but gentle and caring. But Derik is orribly scared, scars he has suffered during a captivity in enemies hands. Love blossoms soon, but Toby's family is not so happy to see his only son with that ugly man.
A short story very tender and heartbreaking. Toby is not totally blind, he can see shadows and colors, and so he matches voices and sounds with colors. For him Derik is dark colors, but at the same time warm colors. And Derik is shy to love Toby, cause he is a beauty. But they are a perfect match, and not cause Toby is blind and Derik is ugly, but cause Toby enlightens the shadows in Derik's life.
I'm waiting for Torquere Press to re-release this short story by Mike Shade, and I'm very happy to have a chance to read it: it's simple and cozy, a very warming reading.
