Blurb: A game of sexual revenge on a married hunky Asian teaches Michael the fine line between sweet and bittersweet.

 

*No Happily Ever After

Review: This is one of those stories that is shameful…just shameful to love. Yeah, I have a weakness for Kris’s naughty boys. Michael is all the things I love and hate in a character. He feels he has motivation for his actions, decides to extract a little revenge, but rather than getting smacked down, he gets f***ed. And if you read Mr. Klein’s books, you know you’re going to get a down and dirty, raunchy roll. Shhh. I won’t tell, but this short story is going to turn you on even though Michael’s deviant behavior is shockingly naughty. What starts off as forced seduction becomes an erotic encounter for Michael to remember.

Blurb: Diego is in a long term and stable relationship with his lover Juan, so he doesn't deal well with the insistent come ons of Corey, an eighteen year old acquaintance. Though the kid's hot, Diego's taken.

Corey isn't one to give up, which is good since Diego discovers something about Juan that upsets him so much that Corey seems to be the answer to his pain.

Can a guy on the rebound find love with a younger man?

Review: It’s hot and raunchy. I love Kris Klein’s style. The humor, the naughty situations, and the characters that stumble into the best erotic encounters. Along with the men, the writing is tight. The flavor is unique to Kris.

In Someone Else's Man, Diego is charming from the opening. And I liked Corey. Right away I wanted them to be together. However, I would have liked the catalyst for Diego going after Corey to have been more motivated by his want of Corey rather than Juan’s betrayal. But that doesn’t change my opinion on the story, because it’s clear by the end, that Diego is just where he belongs. Along the way, there is hot man on man sex that’ll make your toes curl in the most erotic ways.

Blurb: Christmas proves the time for miracles when lovelorn Ryan meets a beautiful, biracial 'Perfect Boy.'

We've all seen him in the club; the flawless young guy who knows how to dress, is full of confidence, and has the attention of every other man in the place. Lovelorn, battle-scarred ex-minor league baseball player Ryan spots his 'Perfect Boy' in a Chicago club one night, and for days after can't get the guy out of his mind (or the erection to go down in his pants). Feeling 'cursed' in love, thanks to a strange incident from his past, Ryan nevertheless feels drawn to giving it one last try, hoping for a Christmas miracle that will make him believe again, even as he begins trying to track down the hot, biracial 22-year-old club kid eleven years his junior... who just might be "the one."

Review: It was Christmas in July as I read The Last Noel. The story is fast and sexy and will make you smile as you read. The characters are charming and the dialog engaging and true to life.

Ryan would love to have someone special in his life, but he seems cursed to pine for Noels. Just in time for Christmas, he meets The Last Noel. Instant lust grabs Ryan by the chest‘nuts’. The beautiful stranger could certainly warm up any chilly evening. What is Ryan to do when Noel isn’t interested in conversation or casual hookups? Pursue with purpose (I’d rather not call it stalking because in this case I wanted Ryan to get his man. :) Noel is attractive and once Ryan meets him, I expected him to exude some of the arrogance that often comes with a beautiful package. But rather in unwrapping Noel, Ryan discovers a man with secrets and pure desires. If Ryan can show he’s interested in more than what is visible on the surface, Noel will give him a very special gift. If you wonder what that gift could be, you’ll need to read Cinnamon Stick: The Last Noel.

Blurb: Gary finds overtime worthwhile when he's paired up with Raji, a charming young Indian intern.

Twenty-eight year old data entry pro Gary is a little bored with everything from his job to his life--which is why he readily agrees to work some Friday after-hours overtime, organizing and straightening up the large file room in preparation for the company's relocation. It's a big project, however, and Gary's boss understands that...which is why he's arranged for an intern from another floor to help Gary in his task.

The intern turns out to be Raji --a young, dark-skinned South Asian beauty that Gary had his eye on previously. As the two toil alone on the twenty-fifth floor of a downtown Houston high-rise, Gary finds himself checking out the face, manners and physique of the 23-year-old exotic Indian babe. Lust turns to something more when the simple act of straightening a collar leads Gary and Raji to some spontaneous combustion on the file room sofa--a sexual bond that, somewhere, manages to rope in the heart, too.

Review: Kris, you surprised me. This one was sweet. Okay sweet, for you. It’s still brilliantly naughty.

Gary is drowning in the doldrums of work. What he needs is someone to make the hours pass a little easier. The hot Asian from the twelfth floor is perfect. Raji was sweet and innocent. His inexperienced with men adds to his charm. I love how Gary let Raji set the pace of their encounter. I read Indian Giver while sitting in the sun, but the heat had everything to do with the sizzle on the page and not the temperature of the day. From the first flush of lust through the vividly described sex, Kris has a way of putting his readers in the room with his characters. In Indian Giver, Kris gives us a little something more. There is a promise of possibilities between Raji and Gary.

Blurb: Tony never expected Halloween to turn out like this.


Tony, a former football jock--married to his high school cheerleader sweetheart for almost ten years--is spending Halloween with his best friend Scott while his wife is out of town in Seattle. The two buddies--best friends since the fourth grade--plan to spend the night eating pizza, drinking beer, and watching Scottie's bootleg DVD horror films. But when Tony borrows a handful of films from Scott's apartment and finds a hardcore gay porn flick in one of the Freddy Krueger cases, it's all he can do to contain his anger, his sense of betrayal, his shattered trust in his best friend... Or the hard-on that the film is giving him. His attraction to male-male sex sends him overboard with guilt and anger. But that's nothing compared to his growing realization that he might also be sexually attracted to his best friend and that maybe he married the wrong sweetheart from high school.

Review: I was shocked, aroused, concerned, and breathless. There were no peaks and valleys for me. The emotional journey just intensified. I was pulled deeper and deeper into the story until I was freefalling with Tony and Scott. Their tumble into love wasn’t easy. I felt Tony’s fear as he slowly accepted his desire for Scott. I didn’t have to imagine anything. Each heart-pounding moment was on the page for me to devour. Because Tony tells the story, I ached with him, then cried and finally cheered. Oh this is one of those stories that makes you hold your breath while reading. Hard, male sex leaves you wet and conflicted emotions unsettle your gut. The passion between Tony and Scott is palpable. A Wet Dream on Elm Street is unpredictable and impossible to put down. I had to keep scrolling the pages because the characters had depth and emotions. Kris Klein tackled a sensitive subject with a married man coming to terms with his desires and decisions of the past. The ending is perfect…but you know I can’t give it away. A most definite recommended read! * cover is perfect, but there are typos

Content Warning: GLBT homoerotica (m/m), dubious consent

Review: If you haven’t discovered yet, Kris is my guilty little pleasure. He’s on my must read list and I’ll tell you why. It’s stories like Fratatouille. We all have those secrets, the dirty little thoughts we never speak of but secretly wish would come true.

Richie is going to help out a friend, a friend he’d secretly thought of doing wickedly naughty things to. But when the opportunity to quench his thirst for CJ’s body, and no one ever has to know (especially CJ) will he miss the chance to satisfy his long denied hunger? And at what cost? I can’t tell you without spoiling the story. All I can say is that I could taste his fear as much as, well it’s a Kris Klein story so you know there is plenty to tickle your taste buds.

Blurb: Twenty-two-year-old Mexican hottie Jaime believed in romance once-and proved it by moving away a year and a half ago from his hometown of Houston to Philadelphia, with his much older boyfriend, to start a new life. It was his first relationship, and Jaime wanted to be the best boyfriend he could be-but after catching Brian in an affair, Jaime put together what money he could by stripping, and boarded a bus for home again. Back in Houston and renting a room in a beautiful home on the southwest side of the city, thanks to a kind lady with a big heart, his first day there Jaime meets the lady's son, PJ, who's home for the weekend from college. Tall, well-built, with thick dark hair and big brown eyes, PJ is super-hot…and super straight. He regards Jaime as a buddy immediately, and invites him out to the backyard pool for a swim-a swim that reveals not only the boner Jaime sports for PJ in his too-tight Speedo, but also PJ's open-mindedness to try something new with the hot young Mexican in his mama's house. Horseplay with a beach ball turns quickly into who can get whose swimsuit off first, and winds up with Jaime stretched out on-and tied down to-a poolside lounger, PJ showing his new buddy he's on top of things…literally.

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex, light bondage, and foot fetishism.

Review: Have you ever had your toe sucked? Read PJ's Pool Party and you’ll want to. I’m a devoted fan of Kris Klein’s work and this story is just as entertaining, just as hot and just as naughty as his other pieces. It was everything I expect—tight writing and yep, tight asses.

Jamie knows his love life sucks, that in his relationship with Brian, he’s been the only one invested. Packing his bags, he makes for better pastures…um rather poolside luxury. Now all he needs is a little balm to his ego. PJ’s balm is the most wickedly erotic kind of salve. Lots of creamy decadence. (oh yeah, you know what I mean by creamy! Great climatic sex.) PJ's Pool Party is a rousing encounter that leaves almost everything out in the open.

Blurb: It's a temp worker's dream for Aaron Adams-working at an upscale accounting firm in Phoenix that openly caters to hiring GLBT employees. Better still, Aaron's finally been invited to sit at the lunchroom's "rainbow table," where all the "gay elite" at DCH mix and mingle together, sharing laughter and office gossip. Soon, however, Aaron realizes there are some very stereotypical haters in the bunch-when a short, beefy, almost supernaturally good-looking Latino enters the lunchroom just long enough to buy something from a vending machine. The entrance, and exit, of senior accountant Raymond Aguilar sets the rainbow table to twittering; it seems the gossip going on around the office is that practically every gay guy in the building has bedded the hunky Latin stud, who's pretty much known as the office slut-something Aaron has a really hard time believing. Convinced Raymond Aguilar is the victim of some bitchy queens who are just jealous-or angry because they can't have him themselves-Aaron takes it upon himself to visit Aguilar's office that afternoon, to tell him what's going on…where a wayward erection, from being so close to the testosterone-oozing slab of machismo, turns Aaron's meeting with Raymond into a new definition of "employee relations."

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex, anal sex, and cum swallowing.

Review: Kris Klein keeps them coming…literally. Both the awesome stories and hot men.

Everybody Fucks Raymond…and I feel like I have too. That’s because the story is graphic, detailed, and oh so naughty and vulgar. This super short story has a fun beginning, a risky, and totally kinky middle and pleasantly satisfying ending. Would I expect anything less from Kris? And in true Kris fashion, the sex is raunchy and hot. Damn, but I love the dirty boys.

Blurb: Mark, at thirty-three, is over the whole finding-sex-online thing-until he comes up with a posting that turns into the ultimate lure for finding straight men that can be talked into some gay sex. An ad on Craigslist nets him a slew of replies, particularly in two prospective young bunkmates, Kyle and Chuck-who, at twenty-one and nineteen respectively, have a lot more in common than Mark could ever realize. Planning them for back-to-back head sessions (Mark shares with NO ONE), when Kyle arrives late and Chuck shows up only minutes later, Mark concocts a last-minute scheme to try and work a sizzling threesome with the two straight guys-with himself as the star-and his sexual appetite is only made more ravenous when he learns that, quite by accident, he's now standing in his bedroom with a pair of brothers. The only question now is, just how far can he get these boys to go…not only with another guy, as advertised…

But good God, maybe even with each other?

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex, coercion, anal sex, and incest.

Review: Oh Kris baby, you are quickly becoming my naughty little obsession.

Readers—heed the warnings and be prepared. The Brothers Dim is sinfully naughty in a most delicious way. This story will make you laugh out loud. The narrative is witty and engaging and so apropos. I was charmed by Mark from the start. He is funny, daring, and horny! While he was hedging his bets with hopeful number one, Kyle, I was absolutely sure he was going to find himself entangled with hopeful number two, Chuck. The story doesn’t disappoint. Wow, the encounter between the three is shockingly…hot! I know, (and what you will find out when you read this story) is that Kyle and Chuck are brothers and the scene makes for some brotherly love that will have you cringing (because it’s just so naughty) and squirming (because damn, it’s just so hot).

This story is not for the timid. This story is for you if you enjoy raw, hard-core sex between hot, horny men (and brothers) :) .

Blurb: After five boyfriends in two years, twenty-year-old blonde boy-toy Michael has indeed learned that he's looking for love in all the wrong places. All he wants is a true, honest, and monogamous boyfriend-something, he complains to Benji one sunny afternoon as they eat lunch in a Mexican restaurant, that seems impossible among guys his own age. Even Manuelo, their spicy, well-built young waiter at the lunch, is juicy enough to put on the menu…but Michael's having none of it. A side trip to the john brings Michael in touch, however, with a man over his twice his age, who's cooking in the restaurant kitchen-a slab of Latin beefcake with handsome, finely-chiseled features and the physique of a world-class bodybuilder. When Michael learns that the forty-eight-year-old god, Rudolfo, is Manuelo's father (and the restaurant owner) Michael concocts a plan to seduce the straight (and very married) Latin stud later that night, after the restaurant is closed…if for no other reason than to prove to himself that a real man can indeed satisfy, in ways the "boys" he's been seeing lately have been sorely lacking.

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex, coercion, and "daddy-son" role-play (not biologically) sex.

Review: From Boys to Men is told in first person and brings intimacy to the story. I felt like a voyeur peeking in on Micheal and Rudolfo. The sex is raw and primal. This isn’t love, or even the potential of a relationship. Don’t be disturbed by the warning with the blurb. The daddy role was hardly the most disturbing aspect of the story. It’s naughty, gritty and just a bit deviant—just the way I love it!
