Product Description

As the leader of an elite British group that hunts criminals of the magic world, Christian Wetherly comes to the U. S. undercover, posing as a British cop, to investigate a series of murders he suspects have been committed by a dark mage. He never expects, however, to find himself intensely attracted to the American police detective in charge of the case. Christian has long struggled with his hidden desires and hasn't admitted them to anyone. But Alec Anderson stirs something deep within him that's difficult to ignore. Still...even if he could master his fear of coming out, Christian's dedicated himself to protecting the world from magic terrors. It's a dangerous life an ordinary human could never understand or accept. And to complicate matters, Alec's emotionally vulnerable, still grieving the death of his previous lover, a fellow cop killed in the line of duty. So Christian's determined to keep his true occupation and powers hidden from Alec. Neither man can deny the powerful chemistry that burns between them, and both realize they're falling hard for one another, yet with so many secrets and complications, a relationship seems impossible. When the two men becomes the target of the dark magic, however, and clues about an ancient legacy come to light that indicate Alec may not be exactly what he seems, can they find the strength to tear down all the barriers between them and risk their hearts in order to save each other's lives?

Review
"...I loved this book. If it isn't the first of a long series, I will be heartbroken...I fell in love with Christian and Alec...They are both handsome, sexy, sensual men who are noble, strong, dependable heroes who came alive for me. Their relationship is enviable and that without even taking into consideration their sensuously described, luscious sexual encounters that left me panting and squeezing my thighs together...I was delightfully entertained, stimulated intellectually and sexually...I found it was enlightening and titillating to see inside a man's feelings and responses to sexual stimulation with a loving partner. That part was scorching hot, but I would have been intrigued by this story even without the very enjoyable and explosive sex...the outstanding male on male sex was so carnally passionate, so tenderly loving, that I felt touched right down to the depths of my soul. There were no editing mistakes that disrupted the flow of my reading. The author's voice is superb. The plot is leagues above and beyond the average book; Falling is one of the best I've read..."--Karen Haas, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"4 Angels!...Sizzling heat... M. L. Rhodes takes a well-crafted plot, adds some interesting and tight secondary characters, and creates a story with intrigue and excitement that breathes life into the pages."--Linda, Fallen Angels Reviews

"5 Stars!...A must-read M/M romance writer!...The love is so real, the emotions intense and the characters amazingly well developed and believable...I love Rhodes' writings. I also strongly recommend the lovely The Professor's Secret Passion and the deeply emotional Souls Deep, her two other M/M romances under Amber Quill Press."--R. Parklane, Amazon.com

Customer Reviews

A must read M/M romance writer!
Rhodes is one of my top favorite M/M writers and I am very glad to have "Falling" her latest in print.

The backdrop of "Falling" is an adventure fantasy involving mages, not the type of setting I would envisaged for emotional story telling, which is Rhodes' strength. I am proved wrong as the plot of magic and villians are very much secondary to the emotions build-up and interplay between her two characters. The love is so real, the emotions intense and the characters amazingly well developed and believable. Rhodes's men are such sensitive and vulnerable characters and Christian and Alec are no exception. Each man has his own ghosts to overcome but when they do acknowledge the attraction, their romance is sizzling and their sex intimately hot. Just look at the cover!.

I love Rhodes' writings. Oh yes, I also strongly recommend the lovely "The Professor's Secret Passion" and the deeply emotional "Souls Deep", her two other M/M romance under Amber Quill Press.

Sweet Love
I'd give this book about four and a half stars; it's outstanding and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I shall now look for other books from the same author. I enjoy plotline, especially credible/steamy romance more than erotica, though I enjoy erotica that adds to the plotline. This book has several extremely attractive and likeable protagonists/lovers; they both develop an intense atraction to each other that becomes too much for either to deny or resist. Their relationship is certainly beautiful to behold. My problem with it (and why I deny the final half a star or so) is that it happened so quickly between the two of them that I had trouble believing it entirely credible. Still, it is fantasy and romance, so one must set aside a certain amount of credulity in this instance. If you want romance and plotline, this one is just fine, with some erotic moments that will add a lot of spice to the story. Enjoy and then join me in looking up other of this author's novels.

Falling
This is a fantastic gay love story. There is magic, love, murder investigations, love, action, love, romance, and love. This is the story of Christian, who is a Mage, or a person who has magical powers, is an agent who fights against black magic in the Magical world. He goes undercover to the United States because of a rash of murders that seem to be the work of a black mage named Rogan. Christian is teamed up with an American police dective who is in charge of investigating the rash of murders. Alex is the police detective, who is having problems getting any real or solid leads in the murder cases. Alec is gay and has lost his lover Drew, a fellow police officer a while back, and he is still trying to recover. When Christian and Alex meet, sparks start to fly. As they work on the investigation together, they begin falling in love with each other. Alex fights it as he is still mourning Drew. Alec relizing that he is falling hopless in love with Christian, finally allows himself to make a declaration to Christian, and thus begins the romance, but quickly there are problems as Alec is attacked by the mysterious killer. Christian saves him, then reveals to Alex about the magical implications of the case, of Christian being magical. But love finally wins through, after a near death event, that has them both back in England for medical repairs. The love is so intense, and pure that I have read this novel several times. It just stirs a cord within me. This book easily rates five stars and if there were more stars I would have given more stars. This a must read book. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy gay romance novels. The author has done an excellent job of bringing these characters to life, one might hope that she would write a sequel.
