Review - The Price of Surrender by C.J. Dragon
My rating:
The humans’ first encounter with the Daranii didn't go well. It started a war Earth had no hope of winning. They only beat the more advanced race in one battle, under the command of Captain Jonathan Thomsin. When Earth is forced to surrender, one of the terms calls for Captain Thomsin to be turned over to the Duranii as a “sacrifice.” Jon knows he will probably be executed, and he definitely won't ever see Earth again.

Review - French Twist by Shawn Bailey
My rating:
Chef Gage is under pressure. Both the baker and pastry chefs have quit, and Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching. Gage decides to take a risk on two recent culinary school graduates. The new pastry chef, Valentin, is not only very talented, he's very beautiful as well. Valentin isn't the kind of guy Gage is normally attracted to, but he can't seem to resist the young man. “French Twist” is a barely novella-length story about finding love where you least expect it.
