Professor Philip Osbourne is Clive Aldridge’s toughest teacher, but he has a
secret: Osbourne is sneaking out to celebrate Hanukkah at the risk of offending
his peers. Bolstered by the knowledge that his teacher is actually human, Clive
makes an effort to form a friendship that will over the decades grow into much
more.
I have read this story numerous times already and know
that it will be one I come back to over and over again. It is moving and
poignant and heartwarming and exceptional. This story is perfection inside of
just over 5,000 words and is one I cannot more highly recommend. -

restaurant is a rousing success, and he’s celebrating with a huge New Year’s

The writing team of Urban
and Aile can write a sex scene that turns me into
mush, but they also create extraordinary characters
with whom their readers fall in love and I fell in
love with Quinn and Sully.

LOL! No wait, that isn't good
enough. ROFLMAO! Yeah that's better. This story is a level of humor that is
truly brilliant. Laugh out loud, spray your drink all over, spit through your
nose brilliant. The story is hilarious and is filled with every euphemism you
can possibly imagine. This is a racy adult tale filled with dirty sexual
innuendos and it's rauncy and fun and a laugh riot. I loved the humor and am
convinced that Eric is the kind of guy you want to have around when you need a
good laugh. ...If you need a good laugh, grab this story for a quick read that
will have you rolling on the floor and laughing out loud. -

I thoroughly enjoyed the
characters of Seth and Noah from the moment they meet through to the end of the
story. Their attraction is palpable and the story is sexy and fun. ...There is
fun humor spun throughout the story and an intensely erotic scene with Seth and
Noah. The anticipation builds to this scene as the men spend time together
until they finally have a chance to be alone. I smiled while reading the entire
story and couldn't put it down. Everything about it is perfect ~ just the right
amount of story, just the right amount of emotions, just the right amount of
love. ...I finished this story and immediately wanted to turn back to the first
page and read it all over again. -

Seth
is having a scarily good time at the office Christmas party this year. He owes
it all to his hoped-for boyfriend, Oscar, who turned him into a carefree
programmer from an uptight nerd. If Mr. Saroc, the company CEO’s assistant,
would quit dogging his steps at work, Seth believes his happiness with Oscar
will be complete in time for kissing under the mistletoe.
This is a very touching story,
about a guy that I bonded with immediately as a fellow programmer. ... My heart
broke for Seth in this story, and I wanted to see him find the love that he so
deserves. I really enjoyed this story, and was surprised by the unexpected turn
it takes just when I thought I knew what was going to happen. I love being
caught off guard like that and really enjoyed the tale of Seth's night. This is
very nice story about accepting yourself and finding the love you deserve. -
