 Jamie is a 24 years old guy trying to live like he feels he has to do. Five years before he gave up to family pressure and left his lover Nick, to try to be the good son his family wanted. But now he is no more willing to pretend and has left the family's comfort to live alone and pursue his dreams as an artist. He also adopts a stray cat, Hellion, who is all up to his name. When he brings Hellion to the vet, he discovers that his former lover Nick is the vet. And after a first cold moment of embarassment, Nick seems willing to restart from where they were five years ago. But Jamie did a terrible thing to Nick and he is not sure that Nick could ever forgive him. This is a sip, less than 20 pages, but very sweet, even if, truth be told, the real main character of the book is Hellion, the cat. He has all the more interesting scenes, and he remembers me all my past experiences with cats and vets. Jamie and Nick are very young, and they have all the time to get back all the waste time of the past five years. The story is short and not all the untold questions are straightened between Jamie and Nick, but they have some good basis to start over. http://www.torquerebooks.com/zencart/Waiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

 I just added a new post to the "Chatting with" series on "Rosa is for Romance". Lauren Dane: A Suburban Mom in Disguise "Lauren Dane is a suburban mom with a salacious imagination that she’s put to good use with her writing. Her favorite thing is when people tell her that she doesn’t look like “someone who’d write those books.” She lives in the Northwest with her husband and three very rambunctious kids. She writes everything from paranormals to contemporary BDSM books and develops terrible crushes on all of her heroes. Even though she lives in her head a lot, she does venture outside from time to time to collaborate with other authors, oh and to buy shoes too."

 Oliver and Marc have a good relationship. Oliver is a very wealthy business man, favourite of media with his handsome features and his blond hair. But Marc has seen behind the appeareance, behind the sad eyes and asked to work specifically for Oliver, as security specialist. After some months together as employee and employer and also friends, Oliver and Marc became lovers and now, one year later, they seem quite happy. For their first anniversary, Marc wants to give to Oliver a special present: one day as an anonymous man, without worries for press and work. Because, even if they live together, they have very few chances to be together and outside their apartment, they are always employee and emlpoyer and not a couple. Maybe for the first time Oliver realizes how much Marc changed his life to be with him, and questions himself if what he gives in return is enough. This is a nap-size dream, a read of 40 pages thought to be read in a session. And it accomplishes its scope. Both characters are very nice and the relationship between them is very romantic and sexy. Even if it's a short story, there are also some nice supporting characters. Both main characters than one of the supporting character, Caleb, would deserve a longer story. I would see this one like a short sequel of a longer novel where the author tells us how Oliver and Marc met and how they became lovers. http://www.shop.dreamspinnerpress.com/product.sc?productId=101Waiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

Since snowmore makes me think to him When I was 13 years old I fell in love: I saw the trailer of Dirty Dancing and I fell in love for Patrick Swayze; such a sweet eyes and such a nice body (yes I know, at 13 years old I shouldn't have that thoughts, but well, we are speaking of naughty Elisa, remember...).  I couldn't go to theatre to see the movie, it was rated and forbidden for kids under 14 years old and so I waited some months and rented the tape: my father took it for me since I still was underage :-( Since that moment I followed the career of Patrick, I have all his movies, even the less famous, and an huge collection of newspapers and also two Long Plays with Dirty Dancing theme. Some months ago my mother told me that on newspaper appeared the news that Patrick is fighting against cancer, unfortunately the same cancer for which I lost my father 14 years ago. Since then I'm browsing the net to find info, but found nor positive or negative news. Probably is right, I think that in this moment Patrick deserves his privacy and I know he has a wonderful relationship with his wife, they are married since more than 35 years.  So I only want to wish all the best to Patrick and hope he will return on screen soon. | |

 This tale has an homey taste. Adam is returning home from Iraq after spending the last two years far from home. Probably when he signed in soon after high school, he really didn't understand what he would do and see. And reality was maybe too much for a now nearly twenty-one years old guy. Again at home he has lost all the link he had with his previous life, and the links he has made on army seem to disappear one at home: Tom, the man that has shared a secret love affair with him abroad, is now ready to marry and get pregnant his girlfriend. Adam is hurt but he also doesn't have an idea of what he wants to do in the future. After some not so happy discussions with his father, he decides to go away for a season, helping an old family friend to renovate an hunting resort. Calvin is a lonely man, older than Adam (he is of Adam's father age) but still handsome. And for a man like Adam, without reasons in his life, helping and loving Calvin can be a nice way to spend the days. What they have to understand is if this will be only a seasonly thing or if Adam has fully recovered from his depression, and he is ready to start again with something completely new. As I said I like the taste of this novel. It's totally peaceful, in fully contrast with the war that Adam has escaped. Also the love between Calvin and Adam is nice and quiet: it's not a sudden flame, but it's a everlasting fire, something that will always be there for Adam. The author tell us the story of a man who looses everything and finds more than he lost. http://www.torquerebooks.com/zencartWaiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

 Of the three on the Zara's Bois series I read, this one is maybe my favourite. Zara has been a good girl in her last mission, and so her angels want to reward her: she will return on Earth, her soul in the body of another lost soul who left too soon. What they didn't say to Zara is that her new body is a male one, and when Zara reawakens in the arms of sexy bouncer Ramsey, also another part of Zara's body awakens, a part she isn't used to have! But Zara is a girl of many means, and she plays all the better she can with what she have. And the fact that Ramsey is very attracted by Trevor, the twinkie in which body Zara is now, is a plus: Zara will finally have the man she is attracted, since this time she has the right body! Only that Trevor was a drugs addicted and his old friends are not all willing to leave him alone. And then there is also the problem of Travis, Trevor's twin, that understands since the first time they meet, that the soul inside Trevor's body is not his brother's one. I like how the author manages Zara's transition from woman to man: since she awakens, Zara thinks and acts like a woman, but the first time she has sex with Ramsey, and she fully understand the difference between a woman and a man (with a first hand experience), she stops to be an "her" to become an "him". I think this is the last in the series, unless the author wants to tell the story also of Travis (who is straight for now) and Trevor (who has the "little" problem to not having a material body in this moment...). All the story till now were a bit short, this one is less than 80 pages, but pretty original. http://www.sirenpublishing.com/graciecmckeever/bf.aspWaiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

You all know that I'm a freak for tags on my library. I'd like to tag correctly all my books. So I need help: sometime I have a doubt if tag something Fantasy or Futuristic... Here some examples: Poison by Joely Skey: In this world, trust is hard to find…and the one thing they need to survive. Tobias Smator lives down his late father’s execution by avoiding the spotlight—and responsibility. He doesn’t mind what people think of him as long as they leave him alone. Still, in this unremarkable half-life he’s fashioned for himself on deceptively low-tech Rimania, he’s not safe from political intrigue. Someone wants him dead. Alliance operative Geln Marac’s orders for his first assignment were simple: Stay uninvolved. Those orders go out the window, however, when he delivers an antidote to save Tobias from death by poisoning. His reward? Possible betrayal that lands him in the hands of police interrogators. To protect the Alliance, Geln resorts to a temporary mindwipe. Tobias is fascinated by the amnesiac man who saved his life. But Geln has attracted the attention of the high-powered Lord Eberly, who would use him as a pawn. Rather than sacrifice Geln to the political wolves, Tobias chooses to embrace his heritage. Geln’s memory reawakens to a precarious situation with no source of protection—except Tobias. There’s only one way forward for both of them. Trust—or die. SETTING: Planetary society and in particular a secluded Planet like Rimania where people live like in Regency England. Almost no use of high-tech device and no appeareance of spaceship, even if they exist. My Fair Captain by J.L. Langley: Talk about a compromising situation! A storm of political intrigue, murderous mayhem and sexual hungers is brewing on planet Regelence. Swarthy Intergalactic Navy Captain Nathaniel Hawkins ran from a past he had no intention of ever reliving. But when his Admiral asks him to use his peerage, as an earl and the heir to a dukedom, to investigate a missing weapons stash, he’s forced to do just that. As if being undercover on a Regency planet where the young men are supposed to remain pure until marriage isn’t bad enough, Nate finds himself attracted to the king’s unmarried son. All Prince Aiden Townsend has ever wanted was to be an artist. He has no interest in a marriage of political fortune or becoming a societal paragon. Until he lands in the arms of the mysterious Earl of Deverell. One look at Nate’s handsome face has Aiden reconsidering his future. Not only does Nate make a virile subject for Aiden’s art, but the great war hero awakens feelings in Aiden he has never felt, feelings he can’t ignore. After a momentous dance at a season ball, Aiden and Nate find themselves exchanging important information and working closely together. They have to fight their growing attraction long enough to find out who stole the weapons and keep themselves from a compromising situation and certain scandal. SETTING: Planetary society and in particular a secluded Planet like Regelence where people live like in Regency England. Wide use of high-tech device and appeareance of spaceship.
To Touch the Stars by Sienna Black: Generations ago, Edmund Talkirk led a group of colonists on an interstellar search for a new home. They were hoping for a second Earth. They never found it. Now, the descendents of those first brave souls eke out a living on the surface of the world they call Shadow. They are led by their Talkirk, a scarred warrior once known as Cymren, who expects treachery, and demands loyalty and obedience. Lucan came from the underground darkness of the Warren, a part of Shadow thought long abandoned. He left everything and everyone he held dear in an attempt to avert a great wrong. His incredible promises and bold words challenge everything Talkirk knows. Yet there is something about him, wisdom far beyond his years and mystical power his frail body should not possess. He came proclaiming his ability as Pureblood to save Talkirk and the Cairn, the walled city he protects. Whether he intends to save the man and master, or to betray both, is the question, and yet Talkirk can't resist his allure. One way or the other, he'll have the man and the power, regardless of who he has to battle to keep them. SETTING: Planetary society and in particular a secluded Planet like Shadow where people live like in a Medieval England. Almost no use of high-tech device and no appeareance of spaceship, even if the Cairn where they live was the former spaceship.
So, they are Futuristic or Fantasy? The future setting make them Futuristic? Is Fantasy only an alternate universe of something in the past? | |

 Poison is a very strange novel. I actually can't say if I fully understand it. In a fantasy regency world, Rimania, people are divided in Elite and Worker. They are closed cast and only Elite can do politics and have access high class; they are so strict on their rules that a worker is not even allowed in presence of Elite if not as personal servant. Tobias is the nephew of the actual regent. His father attempted to his brother's life once, and was killed for this. Now Tobias prefer to live secluded in his manor with a matchmaking mother. He is not interest in politics, but when his uncle is murdered and some days after also his cousin, only another cousin remains between Tobias and the regency. And he is not very happy of that. Meanwhile Geln, an outworld spy of the Alliance who wants to take over of Rimania, infiltrates in the Elite's society through Tobias' mother. Geln is a spy and also a "whore": he is sex to reach his purposes; after being the "prostitute" of a revolutionary worker, Arjes, now he is the paramour of Dressia, Tobias' mother. But when Tobias is poisoned, surprisingly Geln saves his life. Tobias is an innocent 23 years old man, who is not aware of all the politic troubles around him: he only realizes that people he loved were killed and he wants to know why. But when he meets Geln, he realizes also something else: he is attracted by a men, even if they said to him that in this new Elite society, homosexuality is extinct. Tobia and Geln embark in a strange relationship, where Tobia discovers his sexuality and Geln tries to teach him how beautiful can be with a man and meanwhile tries to go on with his plan without using innocent Tobias as a pawn. But Geln is not so tough as he thinks, and past experiences make him a little skittish when he faces a true and sincere love. Among betrayals and perils, the reader starts to understand to not trust no one and maybe the less human of all will be the more trustworthy of all. http://samhainpublishing.com/romance/poisonWaiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

 Paul Leicester Ford (23 March 1865, New York, New York, USA - 8 May 1902, New York, New York, USA) was an American novelist and biographer, born in Brooklyn. He was the great-grandson (through his mother's family) of Noah Webster and the brother of the noted historian Worthington C. Ford. He wrote lives of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and others, edited the works of Thomas Jefferson, and wrote a number of novels, which had considerable success, including The Honorable Peter Stirling (1894), Story of an Untold Love, Janice Meredith, Wanted a Matchmaker, and Wanted a Chaperon. He was murdered by his brother, Malcolm Webster Ford, at one time the most famous amateur athlete in the United States, who then committed suicide. Janice Meredith: A Story of the American Revolution published in 1899 proved to be Ford's greatest literary success. Although the critics attacked the novel's faulty construction, lack of style, and contrived action, the reading public adored it. Within the first three months, over 200,000 copies sold, which was the largest on record of any novel then published. Within two years of its publication, it was dramatized and, early in the twentieth century, it was even made into a motion picture. The novel was a culmination of Ford's diverse skills. This historical romance, set before and during the time of the Revolutionary War, narrates the struggle of the colonies to gain their freedom and the struggle of the hero, Jack Brereton, to win the heroine, Janice Meredith. One enthusiastic critic went so far as to declare that this novel was "the great New Jersey novel, if not the great American novel." For the public's part, a new dance was coined the "Janice Meredith Waltz," and a new hairstyle was labeled the "Meredith curl." All in all, most critics agreed that Janice Meredith was proof of Ford's improved skill as a novelist. To read more: http://rosaromance.splinder.com/post/17025678/ | |

 Another book by A.M. Riley that I hardly will forget. Roger Corso is a detective by the book; forget all those detective from television fiction, tough men who do what they have to do even if what they do is slightly (or heavily) not legal. Roger is a freak controlled and perfect detective. When he arrives home after a one week vacation and finds a mummified corpse in his living room, he calls the CSI and starts to investigate. And everytime he finds a proof he relates to his superiors, even when the proofs lead to one of his best friend, his former Master. Yes cause Roger is now a Master himself, one of the old league, a leatherman with whips and mask; Roger is not the mild mannered queer type that it's so fashion in the twenty-one century, Roger is a big man, muscle and discipline from the '80. And now that his former lover and sub is dead, Roger lives an apparently quite and ordinary life, saved going one night every month in a BDSM club managed by an old friend. Like other ordinary men go to play pool or booling, Roger plays with whips and S. Andrew cross. Sean is the young brother of the victim Roger finds in his living room. Gary, the victim, disappeared more then 20 years before, when Sean was still a little child, and now Sean is alone, since the death of both his parents. He is a troubled guy, living in a precarious way and having no control on his life. He is the classical type who pushes the right bottoms on Roger, a man who needs someone to control, someone who needs to be controlled, a mutual exchange of powers. But Sean is very young and Roger fears to be again in a committed relationship. Actually Sean's behaviour is very strange, he is a more than 30 years old man who behaves like a nearly twenty. Maybe the strenght of this couple is that both of them are so clearly made to be together and the reader knows that they will be together, what he is expecting is the climax, not of their relationship, but of the mystery which plays along with the romance: who is the serial killer? everytime you think to have found the right man, soon after he is the next victim and you need to start again. The mystery is pretty good, I should admit I'm not an expert, but sincerely I discovered the killer only cause all the others were dead. I think Roger is somewhat a Dom disillusioned; he has seen too much, made too much and now nothing seems to have the same impact on him as before. He is a survivor, he has escaped the AIDS plague, but many around him not, and now he is alone. I don't think he needs someone who turns up his little world, he needs someone who will share it with him: sorry, he has not the age to start again, he is arrived to a point in which he needs stability and comfort. Sean instead is a little like a Peter Pan, someone who is arrived to a point when he needs to grew and instead he seems to always avoid it. The book is very complex and wonderfully intertwined, full of supporting characters who are themself worthy of an entire story. And it's also a little bit nostalgic, it seems like a last greeting to a dying era. http://www.loose-id.net/detail.aspx?ID=718Waiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

 In "The Passionate Savage", Signet, 1980, Constance Gluyas (1920 Mar 28 - 1983 Aug) features Flaming Dawn, who broke her people's trust by giving herself to the white hunter, Lucien Marsh, and followed him into a white man's world where the price of her desire was unspeakable degradation. And Lady Samantha Pierce, who broke her marriage vows and her social code to possess Lucien Marsh, desperately seeking escape from her gilded cage of perverse passions and shocking corruption. Two magnificent women, so unalike on the surface, yet sisters-under-the-skin in their hunger and their daring. Two exquisite rival heroines in a sweeping epic that moves from the untamed American wilderness to the licentious aristocratic underworld of Victorian London to reach flaming new heights of adventure and romance...

 My Vampire and I by J.P. Bowie Marcus is an eighteen hundreds years old vampire. He was a roman warrior, son of a Senator, and he was turned when he was 25 five years old, so now he is a rather handsome vampire. He lost a lover in the past, but now he is again on the prowl since for centuries he is dreaming of a new lover and now is the time to claim him. Roger is a 24 year old guy with a rather simple life. Good friends, a pretty cute image and a steady work, he is quite enamored with himself. But when he meets Marcus he suddenly falls for this handsome vampire, since he always has had a thing for vampires and co. But some enemies from Marcus' past are not so willing to allow him to rebuild a life together with Roger. I think J.P. Bowie wanted to write a good mix between paranormal and comedy. Roger is the classical "queen": while Marcus is telling his rather sad story life, all Roger could think is how cool it's to have a vampire lover; while Marcus is trying to explain to Roger the pro and contro of turning vampire, all Roger could think is how well hung is his new boyfriend and how all his friends will die for jealousy. Well, so,maybe I'm a bit too harsh with poor Roger: he is not a bad guy, he is young and in love, and then he has the chance to have a wonderful and immortal life with an hunk like Marcus, something he has never thought possible for an average guy like him. Marcus and Roger's relationship is quite a master and pet's one, but Marcus is not a dom for choice, he is only the stronger in the couple and so he takes the lead. But Roger is quite an imp, iperactive and sometime naivee, very tender and cute. All in all My Vampire and I is more funny than suspence, and for me is a good thing. I was expecting a more classical vampire story, a bit angst and sad, and instead it's a comedy where in the end neither the evil ones are so scary.  My Vampire Lover by J.P. Bowie Usually in a vampire story the Vampire is a strong and powerful man who lures and loves the innocent and naivee boy. My Vampire Lover turns the tables. Jean-Claude was a French artist of the end of the nineteen century; he didn't choose to become a vampire, he was seduced and betrayed by a man he admired, an artist like him. When he awakened as vampire, he was scared and helpless and his master abandoned him. A gentle and caring friend helped him to migrate to New World and Jean-Claude started a new life and also found the help of Marcus, who will be a good friend but not a lover. Today Jean-Claude is drawn by Ron, a gentle man he sees every night from the window of his apartment. Ron manages the Italian restaurant around the corner and all in all he is a quite ordinary man, not someone who could steal the looks. But Jean-Claude sees something in him... I think he sees comfort and company, and also a man who can protect him! Yes, the vampire is lured by a man stronger than him. Obviously, Ron is stronger only if we consider the normal skill for a human, Jean-Claude is always a vampire, and he has special powers that makes him immortal and almost invincible. But still in their relationship, Ron is the leading man. As before with his friend Henry and then with Marcus, Jean-Claude is not a leader, he is the perfect picture of an artist, someone who can't relate with the day-to-day routine of life, someone who need a firm hand to address him. My Vampire Lover is a little less funny than My Vampire and I, the two stories were released together in print form. But both are easy, smooth and enjoyable, not at all angst like so many vampire stories before. http://www.total-e-bound.com/http://www.amazon.com/My-Vampire-I-Erotic-Stories/dp/0595438725/Waiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting+reading+list&view=elisa.rolle | |

Can I rename this book "How to pick up two unlikeable characters and make you like them"? Yes, cause in Corazon, we have not one but two cheating man, a thing I find almost unforgivable in a man, and one of the two is also unrepentant, cause he justifies the cheating since he doesn't love his current partner...
Mason is a IT specialist from San Antonio. He has a steady relationship with a colleague, Miguel, a good guy, maybe a little too... normal! Yes cause Miguel is gentle and caring, not selfish, but when they visit Miguel's family in New Mexico, Miguel only asks to Mason to not flaunt their relationship, since Miguel's family knows that their son is gay, but obviously they are not so happy with the situation. But still they welcome Mason in their home, even if with a bit of a cold attitude.
During one of this visit Mason has the chance to exchange some words, and a kiss, with Anton, the boyfriend of Miguel's sister. It's only a kiss and Mason and Miguel leave soon after, so Mason has emphasized the memory in his mind and now he fears the next time he will see Anton, cause he is not sure to be able to stay far from the man. And when Mason and Miguel plan to spend a week with Miguel's family for the Cinco de Mayo's celebration, all what Mason fears comes to reality: Anton confesses to be gay and to have asked Petra to marry him to try to correct his sin and have a normal family. He never thought to find a new male lover after the tragic death of his former one, and he doesn't know how to do now that he and Mason realize that there is something more than a kiss between them.
Mason is not against the idea to start something with Anton, even if for some days, since he isn't really in love with Miguel, he has a comfort relationship, something that is nice and quiet, but that doesn't give him heartthrob like Anton do. And when he realizes that with Anton is something more than a spring fling, he is willing to give it a try, but Anton? will he risk all he has and all he want to be?
In the end I supported Mason and Anton. I still felt a little sad for Miguel (not so more for Petra), but between Mason and Miguel there wasn't the real love that there is with Anton.

 Theo is an illusionist but he had a very bad night during which everything went wrong, and that one night Craig, an entertainment columnist for the local newspaper, was at the show. And so now Theo has this very bad review and he is very pissed of. So much that he storms into Craig's office pretending a second chance. Theo obtains his second chance, but also a very close encounter with handsome and sexy Craig. Theo like it rough and Craig is able to give him just the right dose of stick and carrot to take Theo in line. This is another single shot from Drew Zachary, less than 30 pages, and it's only a blossoming of a relationship. We don't know if Theo and Craig have something everlasting, but for sure they seem to have a lot in common, and Craig could be the right man to control a brat like Theo. All in all there are three scenes of which two are sex scenes, but Theo and Craig are nice characters and they play a bit of pleasure and pain game between them. We know better Theo's reasons and a little less Craig's one, but I think these two can have something good. http://www.torquerebooks.com/zencartWaiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting reading list&view=elisa.rolle | |

A very short story, less than 15 pages, that tells us of a love beyond myth and reality.
Patrick is a normal country boy and he is in love with John Crowfeather, a Native American Navajo from the nearby reservation. They met in high school and since then they never have been apart, and Patrick becomes part of John's family, two spirits together, something the Navajo allow and embrace.
But one month before John disappeared and since then Patrick is alone mending fence with only the companionship of his horse, Snoopy, and a strange crow. Is it possible that the old legends John's grandfather continues to tell him are true? John turns into a skin-walker? Patrick only knows that he will wait forever for his lover to return, cause he trusts him and if John goes away, he has a good reason and he will return as soon as possible.
As I said the story is very short, but it's very romantic. You can feel the deeply love between Patrick and John, and I'd be glad to know a little more about how they met and became a couple, I always like the puppy love of teens.

 With a title like this one I can't no read it as soon as possible! Garett is a cop and a nice guy. He likes is ordinary life and his prim and proper attitude. Late night shifts, a neat and clean house, some sports, a night out with regular friends and his life is pretty full. Not so full that he can't enjoy two nights at his favourite bookstore, managed by two old ladies that treat him like a nephew. And in one of these nights he meets Nate, another regular of the bookstore. Nate is a cook and like Garett he takes off from work pretty late and he likes to pass by the bookstore to rest and relax in the comfy chairs. And when he meets Garett he has one more reason to like the two old ladies who play the matchmaker role. Garett and Nate get along well, even if Garett is a bit uptight and Nate is more a bohemien type. But they have a lot in common, and there are all the premises for a good and lasting relationship to start. Food and Books is a single shots and so it's not very long, less than 35 pages, but it's nice and erotic. Even if Garett and Nate don't jump at each other bones at first date, much for Garett's decision, they regain the time lost pretty soon at second date. So much of the book is the tale of their second date with two fast and furious sex scenes and a fast glimpse to their future together. But even if the book is only a novella, it's smooth and enjoyable, with two comfy and homey characters, two ordinary people you can easily find in real life. http://www.torquerebooks.com/zencart/Waiting Reading List: http://www.librarything.com/catalog_bottom.php?tag=waiting reading list&view=elisa.rolle | |

 Luke and Slater are best friend since they were kids. Now eighteen years old they have to face a separation: Luke is heading toward a big college in the north and Slater will take on the family business and will remain at home.
