Review - Jocks for Sale Parts 12 - 14 by Josh Hunter

My rating: * * * *

“Jocks For Sale” is an erotic fantasy containing non-consensual sex and violence. It is offered in serialized form as connected installments (14 in total). I'm reviewing it in batches, so there's a more coherent picture of the entire story. It seems like it was a long wait, but more episodes of this serial finally appeared and now they’ve made it to the top of my reading list. The last installment (Part 11) ended with a sort of failed coup on the island which saw the Boss’s second in command, Luca, being made a slave.

Review - Fox of Fox Hall by R. Cooper

My rating: * * * *

Fox was orphaned at a young age. Neighboring farmers took him in for a while, but his youth and small size meant he wasn’t much good for farm work, and sooner or later, Fox was just another mouth to feed. So, the youth found himself on his own, but he was clever, had a good ear for music, and an excellent memory for all the popular ballads of the day.

Review - The Last Nights of the Frangipani Hotel by Bey Deckard

My rating: * * * *

Actor James Talbot is enjoying his vacation at a run-down hotel on a Caribbean island. The resort may have been grand at one time, but the years have taken their toll. Few people stay there these days, especially in the off-season, and that suits James just fine. His solitude is interrupted by the arrival of a guest who takes the cabin right next to James. The guest turns out to be another actor, Rudie, whom James has worked with in the past.
