Book Update 3: I don't wanna be alone

When my girlfriends get a little lonely, they cuddle up alone in bed with a cup of tea and a Barbara Cartland/Danielle Steele or other book and once they've finished it, they are all better. No more lonely, they get back on track and all is well. Maybe they put something funny in their tea, because no matter what I'm still feeling alone.

Reading 4 erotic (alright, slightly if not fairly pornographic) books, didn't work on me. At least not in the way it should be. Still, I was entertained by lovely stories, fair writing and I quote





Hot sweaty manlove of the interplanetary kind

Oh yes, oh yes. It does say that. Ain't life grand?

Let's start with that one.

The Englor Affair by JL Langley

It's actually the sequel to My Fair Captain which I wrote about here

I couldn't remember much of it to be honest, so I might have to read the first book again, and then read The Englor Affair again afterwards. Some of the same characters and the same universe is used, and for an erotic book (I sound like such an afficionado don't I, for someone who's read 6 in all his life) that's a little unusual.

I'll spare you all the graphic details but just say that the book is set in another universe on the Planet Englor (and a little on the planet Regelence which was featured in My Fair Captain) where things are a mix of the old days of aristocracy and hi-tech stuff in the far, far future. There are kings, princes, lords and dames. It's actually quite entertaining - but you will be confronted with





Hot sweaty manlove of the interplanetary kind
and you'll love it!

It comes with a warning though, one of the guys is a ginger.

I can't wait to read book three as I'm fairly sure there will be a third because like in My Fair Captain, not everything was solved in this one either.

After having read three books by JL Langley (I had also previously read a book called The Tin Star with hot all male cowboy lovin - read about it here) that were pretty good, I thought I'd make it an even four.

The Broken H by JL Langley


This book was about hot cowboy lovin, and it actually mixed in with the storyline of The Tin Star

The book was good. I liked the story and the lovin but I wasn't so keen on one of the dudes having long hair, and the editing was fairly bad. Imagine the nonsense and mistakes I make and multiply it by 10. Still, the book had me.. let's just say it had me going through most of the colours of the rainbow. I even cried. That in itself isn't a big thing because I could cry watching a commercial afterall.

Handyman by Claire Thompson

I suspect doing the handyman is every girl and gays fantasy. At least if he's hot. Perseonally I haven't met one of those yet, but in this book a yuppy guy moves to the suburbs and hires a handyman to do his kitchen. Let's just say, he ends up doing more than his kitchen. Much happens, some things fairly funny, and others a little more serious. A lot of self doubt and such and of course lots of handyman lovin.

This book was pretty good, and refeshing from reading all those JL Langley books.

The Assignment by Evangeline Anderson

The Assignment was about two police officers who had to go undercover at a gay sex retreat in San Francisco and pretend to be gay in order to bust some druglord who distributed bad coke.

Needless to say there were lots of sexual frustrations, erotica and down and dirty sex involved. The story was far from weak considering the nature of the book (you can't expect to pick up something of the same level as Puskin, Hemingway or Tolstoy) and the writing fairly good.

Next time I'll order books, I think they'll have to be books on knitting and sewing.

  1. Seriously, who puts their tie on before their shirt? That's just causing unnecessary problems.

  2. Dear Tim,
    where is your sense of the erotic!

    Personally i love a man in a suit especially when he is just wearing a tie.
    And hello Dear Pete,
    you have whet my appetite for interplanetary hot sweaty manlove!
    I must go out and find myself a copy!

  3. Tim my dear. Maybe he's taken his shirt OFF and kept the tie on? Is that more sensible for you.

    If not, then see comment from Princess.

  5. Hot sweaty manlove of the interplanetary kind

    Wasn't that the promo for the Star Trek movie?

    I'm sure your local library has books on knitting and sewing...and probably some info on the local knitting and sewing circles, which I understand is like book clubs--where people gather to exchange tips and sex stories.

  6. You said your post was a little bit naughty! Humpf.

    I haven't read erotica for some time now, perhaps I'll have to address that oversight soon.

    Many hugs my darling.

  9. Princess, if I was to strut around in just a tie I'd get accused of not knowing how to get dressed properly.

    A frequent problem, I'll admit…

    Pete, he would've got in some awful difficulties wrestling the collar under the tie though. Admittedly I don't wear ties that often (though I should, I look quite dashing), but even I know you're just causing problems trying to take the shirt off first.

  10. Oh, Tim, you'd be dressed enough for me if you wore but a tie.

    * sigh *

    What a juicy array of books, 'Petra. I rather like the torso on the cover of The Englor Affair. Bravo!

  11. Hi sweetie.

    Just thought I'd pop by with a bottle and some sympathy, I hear you're not feeling to well.

    Many hugs from a far (which is just how I like it, I'm not good with other peoples germs).
