A gladiator is used to feeling pain. It comes with the territory. However, the pain Agron feels in his body and heart after nearly dying on the cross is sometimes more than he can bear.

This is a lovely one-shot that powerfully portrays that extent of Agron's physical and mental anguish after being reunited with Nasir. My heart broke for him, but there is also a small ray of hope that everything will be okay in long the run.

Book Review: The Hot Toddy: Todd and Tucker (CockTails #2) by Renee George

Tucker and Todd have been best friends since they met as children in a foster home. They always stood by each other through thick and thin, but now that they're adults, each harbors secret feelings for the other.

Short, sweet and to the point, this novella has a good mixture of angst/drama, romance/fluff and steam. Tucker is the ultimate sweetheart who is hopelessly in love with this best friend. Todd, on the other hand, is more of a player, but still hides his deep feelings for Tucker deep down inside.

Occasionally I felt as if I was being told rather than shown what was happening in the story, and the short chapters broke up the flow. Overall, this was a nice, quick read that will ultimately put a smile on your face.

Over many lifetimes, Haru has fallen in love with and lost Rin. It's the same cycle over and over again, but no matter how painful the process is, he can't seem to let go of this love of his life.

Wow! I was blown away by this story, and it's still in its early stages. I love the rapport Haru and Rin share and I can't wait to read more! Check it out!

I ❤ Yaoi: Just a Little More by Shiine (Free! Doujinshi)

Hello yaoi lovers! This week's feature is Just a Little More by Shiine.

Both Haru and Makoto are harboring strong feelings for one another, but they're each afraid to actually take that next step. Haru desperately wants Makoto to see him as more than just a friend. Makoto desperately wants to keep things the way they are and not risk ruining the friendship, even though his feelings for his best friend have grown over the years.

This dj is so sweet! It's fun to watch Makoto and Haru try to navigate their feelings for one another. I do wish, however, that there was a sequel so readers could see if Makoto and Haru finally take the plunge and confess!

Inspired Tactic Worthy of Spartacus Himself by Cheryl1964

Inspired Tactic Worthy of Spartacus Himself by Cheryl1964

Years after the final battle, rumors of Caesar's arrival in the Lands East of the Rhine has put Agron and Nasir on edge. Much to Nasir's chagrin, Agron plans on breaking words with the man who nearly took his life so long ago.

We all know what eventually happens to Julius Caesar in the Senate, but it was very satisfying to read this story in which Agron finally gets to confront the man who took joy in his crucifixtion and near death. I don't want to give too much away, so I highly recommend you give this story a try!
