KTL23 is a steamy e-book quickie told from the first-person point-of-view of a soldier who falls for the genetically engineered warrior that he's been guarding. When the man, who Horatio has dubbed Kelty, starts exhibiting symptoms of illness and the scientists believe the cure is sex, Horatio is more than willing to volunteer himself to “heal” Kelty. Thinking this was probably a one-time thing, Horatio wanted to keep some emotional distance between them, but I love how once he was in show more the same room with the hunky guy he'd been admiring from afar, he just couldn't help himself. Having been created in a lab and never ventured outside the walls of his room, Kelty, of course, was a virgin, and Horatio very patiently and lovingly tutored him in the art of sexual pleasure. Kelty was absolutely adorable in his innocence and eagerness to please, but much smarter than he at first seems, as the clever little plot twist at the end attests. There were no unbelievable declarations of love in this short story, but there is plenty of tender, loving interactions that were also quite spicy. I had no trouble believing that Horatio and Kelty were perfect for each other and would have a happy future together. KTL23 was my first read by Missy Welsh, but it was so fun and enjoyable, I'm looking forward to trying something else by her soon.

Note: This novella contains a scene of explicit sensuality between two men which may offend some readers. show less

This delightful, totally irreverent story about the devil himself finding eternal love in a somewhat unexpected way is sure to raise as many eyebrows as it is to cause cases of uproarious laughter and endless amusement. For me, this is a great piece of writing not just because the of the tongue-in-cheek humor with which the devil himself relates this tale, but because the concept behind it actually makes a scary amount of sense. Well, at least for someone who doesn’t take church teaching show more (any church, for that matter) too seriously.

More than an interesting thought experiment, for me this is a story about ultimate justice. You might see why I think that when you read the book. Basically it shows that if there is a God who created everything, he must have also created "the devil" – and why would he deny someone who ultimately does his bidding love and acceptance in his own way?

If you are a devout Christian, I would suggest you stay away from this story, or approach with a high degree of caution. Expect to be shocked at the very least, possibly even outraged. If, on the other hand, you are curious and like stories that turn everything you thought you knew about the Christian faith upside down, if you enjoy reading books that make you think, and if you love a twist which will make you howl with laughter (well, it did that to me, since I did not expect this turn of events in the least), you will probably like this books as much as I did. show less

This isn’t just a very cute story about two college students (one of whom happens to be a werewolf) finding each other, but also a very entertaining tale, written with a lot of humor. The two main characters may come from opposite sides of the track, but they are a perfect match. They've already crushed on each other since high school (unknowingly), but never quite managed to figure out they are meant for each other. Add a prejudiced pack to Tristan's background, with a father who show more couldn’t have been nastier to Tristan, and the stage is set.

Pitney, the human guy, tells the story. The way he narrates the story made me laugh, and his observations and comments about his hopeless crush for badass Tristan were hilarious. And once he finds out the guy is a werewolf? He's totally cool. Why? Because it makes him more badass, and that is what Pitney is looking for.

Tristan hasn’t had an easy life because he is considered abnormal by his pack. It’s not what you think (and, initially, I had the same thought), they have no issue with him being gay. The problem is that some of the snobbier members of the pack, Tristan's father included, believe he's an abomination since he only shifts partially. To Tristan's surprise Pitney is ready to defend him, never mind that he's outmatched.

Luckily, the misunderstanding can be clarified, but I liked that the werewolves, hunted by humans who cannot accept their differences, made the same mistake as those humans. They rejected anything that is different. Hmm, wonder where I've seen that happen before? If you like werewolf stories about mates first discovering each other, if you enjoy reading books written with a sense of humor, yet carrying a serious message about acceptance, and if you're looking for an entertaining, hot story with a lot of growling and a supernatural touch, then you will probably enjoy this free short story. show less

Really sweet book. I would have loved to see more retribution or legal action outcomes against the bullies that had tormented Malcolm throughout high school and maybe some confrontation with Mal's parents. Balancing this out though was plenty of relationship building between Mal and Wes, so in the end I was very happy with the ending and their future.
