You know? I have a tender point for this title, cause my father's name was Eros, and I like it very much.

BTW Eros is the art's name of Keegan, a stripper in a private club, Ganimede Grotto. He is a beautiful man, although not so young (29 years old). He has gorgeous long blond hair and a lithe body. This are the first things Scott sees in him. But he has also a past who haunted him.

Scott is in an dead end relationship with Logan: Logan needs a dom partner, but Scott doesn't like this type of love. He wants a real and simple lovemaking, without "scenes".

With Keegan at first is only friendship: Scott has a partner, and he is not the type to cheat. But... what will happen if is Logan who cheating around?

Another stories from Heart of show more the Ashes anthology (after With Love di J.L. Langley), Eros Rising is the tale of a man who wants love and of another who has to learn how to love again. As always, even if in a rather short story (100 pages), Ally Blue is the queen of angst: she can draw characters who arrives to us with a luggage of bad experience and that we see grow stonger during the course of the story.
