Review: melodrama at its worst
Rating: 2 out of 5

A freebie from Am. is always an opportunity to explore new authors and I jumped at the opportunity of downloading this short M/M shifter romance.Unfortunately this is the typical output of a lady-author writing -supposedly- M/M contents for lady-readers exclusively.It is not awful but the weight of the melodrama, of the less-than-justified guilt-trips, of the torturing secrets that plague the soul and the body, not only far exceeds the writer's skills or a -be it gay- man's patience but it also exceeds the limits of plausibility when one realises that the "secrets" are basically born out of a lack of trust of one of the "mates" (Karson) toward the supposed love of his life.Had Karson spoken with Marcus soon, they would have fought together e spared themselves years of suffering.The usual rigid codification of sexual roles -one lover is weak and submissive, the other strong and dominant- does nothing to improve things.
