Reviewer: RedDragonfly
Darius is the captain of the space ship the St. Marie. He has been searching for another ship called the Avenger for ten years, seeking to take the treasures that he has heard it holds. In that time, he has also lusted after the captain of the ship, Hector Ramirez after hearing stories of his sex life and the skills he has. Upon finally finding the ship after years of searching and boarding the Avenger, Darius seeks out Hector in his quarters thinking he will have to fight him but what he finds is Hector waiting naked in bed for him.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this book, I thought it was ok but it wasn't really developed enough to like it or love it. The story was only about 30 pages long and it was basically one extended sex scene, so you really didn't get to know anything about Darius or Hector. There was some world building, like we know that earth died a long time ago and that they have a type of government set up but there wasn't a lot of that either. I also didn't like the ending, when Hector asked Darius to join his ship, and he told him that all of Hector's men were having sex with all of his men, that was just weird and unbelievable to me.

I'm giving this book 3.5 stars. If your looking for a hot sex scene this is the book for you, but if you want development with characters or plot you might want to skip this story.

Secret Santa by Rebecca Leigh

Summary:

Martin's gig accepting presents for the annual Marine gift-giving drive becomes less mundane when a new Santa arrives at the department store. This year, Martin will experience Christmas as he never has before--and find out if Santa is real.

Reviewer: RedDragonfly
Secret Santa is a story about Martin, a marine who is collecting toys for donation in a department store. He has been crushing on the guy who plays Santa for awhile and finally they meet after work to have sex in his little Santa workshop house.

If you are looking for a steamy short story that doesn't have a lot of character development but is really hot, then this is the book for you. If you are looking for a book with love or if you want to know about the characters you might want to skip this one. Martin never once asks what the guys name is that's playing Santa, he just keeps referring to him as Santa the entire book. The ending had a little supernatural element to it, that implies that the guy really is Santa which I didn't care for, it was a little creepy.

Secret Santa by Rebecca Leigh was a pretty average short story for me. I liked the beginning but the ending was a little weird for me. I'm giving it 3 stars.
