Review - Master by Choice by M.A. Innes
My rating: 
It’s still early days for Cooper, Sawyer and their prospective master Jackson. The ever-optimistic Cooper is already all-in on the relationship, but Sawyer is being cautious. It’s just in his nature, and Jackson accepts that. He knows he is going to have to let each of the two young men go at their own speed. Jackson is sure he wants the relationship with both of them to work, even though some people might not understand or accept it.

Review - Lazarus, Home from the War by E. H. Lupton
My rating:
Lazarus has returned home from the war in Southeast Asia and is trying to get used to civilian life. It isn’t easy, since he has what we now call post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It gives him flashbacks that can result in blackouts. The episodes come at some of the most inconvenient times, like when he meets an interesting man in a convenience store. As a neurologist, Eli recognizes Laz’s condition.
