While the first chapter in this series was told from Heath's point of view, in the second book we have the chance to know better Vanner, since all the story is seen through his eyes. Vanner loves Heath, but he realizes that his love is not normal, that if they are discovered noting will save them from going to hell, in more way than the biblical one. In the first book, truth be told, Vanner has not came out as a very clever character, he was the typical cowboy who loves his horse and his family, and maybe, his love for Heath was only an extension of that love: Heath was him, and what better way to have him all for himself than making him his lover? And instead in this second book maybe we have a second way to read the story: what if Heath is more deep and caring of what we supposed? what if his choice to surrender to Heath's love was only a way to satisfy his brother, to make him happy?

Vanner cares not only for his brother Heath, but also for their sister Marybeth, an autistic woman who behaves like a child. Vanner has more than one trouble in his mind, and having a sexual relationship with Heath only worsten things. Not that he doesn't like being with his twin, he has fantasies, and he would like to do more, but only if he was sure that no one else could wonder something, since he would never do something to put his brother in danger. Vanner is much more a complicated person than how he appeared in that first book, and also the series, with this second book, reaches a level of complexity that lacked in the first chapter.

Adam and Even are twins... and lovers.

The story is pretty short, 20 pages, so we didn't know how they became lovers and if this is an event that cause they trouble. We start to read in the middle of their relationship and only know that, even if twins, Adam and Even are really different. Adam is steady, an hard worker. He manages a coffe shop open 24/7 and ofter he has to do overtime. Instead Even is a little flamboyant, spoilt by his brother. He has an instable work as magician, and spends most of the time at home, waiting for Adam to show. And to make sex.

There is a lot of sex in this short story, sex which features well how the relationship between the two twins are, how Adam is always ready to satisfy every minimum whim of his brother.

As I said in the past, a twincest story is not an easy matter, but here we haven't enough time to deal with the trouble of this kind of relationship, so we only can savour the relationship between two men and reading it with the perspective that it's a twincest relationship, and so every claim of forever love has another and deeply taste.

This is a tale of seduction. The seduction of pleasure upon chastity.

In a fantasy medieval world (and only cause it's fantasy I forgive to Mike Shade to speak of tea and coffee in a medieval european setting...) the twins Jakob and Matthias are alike and very much different. Jakob is a man who enjoys the life and eager to know more of the world outside their small village, and instead Matthias is a pious soul, who wants to be a monk. But perhaps Matthias' desire of saintliness is due to the guilty feelings he has for his brother. Cause Jakob and Matthias share a love for each other they only dare to free in the safe shelter of their home, at night.

But one day Gustav, a lord from the north, arrives to their village, speaking of treasures and comfy life in his castle. He wants both the twins with him and lures Jakob with promises of pleasure and Matthias with promises of a library full of books. And then starts the seduction, but in the end, the less willing twin, Matthias, will be the more eager to learn, learn a new eternal life, cause Gustav is not a simple man.

The book is all play in the contrast between Jakob and Matthias, on their different behaviour, so different that only as one they are complete. Gustav is 100% pure temptation, but it's not an evil character. He is a man who has lived long, a dominant man but who knows when helds on and backs off to not frighten a skittish soul like Matthias. And in the end he will prove the old motto, "knowledge will set you free".

The book is quite long, 100 pages, but not so long you can't read it in one session. It's smooth and enjoyable, quite sexy and erotic (remind that it's a tale of seduction...)

This is another short story in the growing lovers universe of Rowan McBride.

Mark and Travis are twins and lovers. And have also some special powers: they are Drayner, they can drain physical characteristic from other people for a limited amount of time. But Mark is very strong and he manages to drain not only physical characteristic but also wit and intellect. In his esaltation he is becoming like a god and he is unmanageable but by his brother. Cause Mark loves so much his twin Travis, and wants for Travis to be like him.

I have to say that this story has left me a little uncomfortable: Mark and Travis live in a reclusive world where only them count. The outer world, the other people are not important. If Travis would be less gentle and kind, they could be very dangerous. Travis is the counterbalance for Mark, he is the anchor to the sanity for Mark. They have a very dangerous relationship.

As always Rowan McBride writes a story that will not leave you uneffected, even if in only a bunch of pages...
