Good News Day!



Welcome to this week's DarkSider good news....




Reviews


H.C. Brown
Cyborg Doms: Fane, received 5 hearts from The Romance Sudio.

"Fane Jacobs is a cyborg -- part man, part machine. Along with his friend Jace, Fane is enslaved by a psychopath named Gryd. Forced to entertain Gryd's guests with his sexual skills, he longs for freedom. After Jace is attacked by a group of male guests, Fane and Jace steal a starship and escape back in time. They arrive on Earth in the year 2040. Soon afterward, Fane saves a woman from an attack. Dr. Tamara Bright was grateful for Fane's assistance and disturbingly attracted to handsome man but what will she do when she discovers the truth about him?
I really enjoyed this story. Science Fiction is my first literary love. Few authors are able to successfully combine good scifi with erotic romance. H. C. Brown does so beautifully with Fane. Time travel, high tech gadgets and spaceships combine with BDSM, hot sex, romance and evil villains to produce a exciting, steamy read. Fane and Tamara dodge bad guys, from both the present and future, while they struggle with their feelings for each other. Neither can fight the overwhelming attraction. Sexual variety abounds in this story: m/m action, bondage, flogging, tender loving. The author manages to deliver a satisfying ending yet leaves readers wanting more. I'm eagerly awaiting Jace's story."
