Calendar Boys January- March
January:
As a professional football player Tre Griffin is either loved or hated by the Miami fans depending on how the game went the previous week. At the moment he can't wait to escape to his sister's home in Chicago, too bad the weather isn't cooperating with his plans.

In Miami to visit his family for the weekend, Michael Pappas wishes he was back at Georgetown University teaching history instead of seeing relatives who prefer to consider Michael between girlfriends instead of being gay.

Tre and Michael meet at a hotel bar by accident but perhaps fate is playing a helping hand. A quiet weekend fling could be the beginning of something special and enduring if they are both willing to believe in each other.

January: Miami's Perfect Weekend is a hot slice of man heaven. Two polar opposites definitely can attract if the timing is right in author Jamie Craig's latest erotic monthly offering. I can only hope that the rest of this series has as much emotional depth, wit and oh, don't forget the sizzling hot sex. More please!

February: A Joyfully Recommended Title
Erik Haden is on the prowl tonight, looking for gratification it seems. He visits a hot spot BDSM club, Bound, where pretty much everything and anything goes if you can meet the price.

In a booth at Bound, Travis Canavan sits with his collared and leashed pet Joel at his feet, looking for the entire world as if boredom is a never ending trial.

Hooking up at the BDSM club, Erik and Travis agree for a price in spending the evening together after Travis refuses to sell the pet Joel to Erik. Hidden agendas and deep dark secrets slowly unfold until everything and everyone is exposed. By morning's light someone will be a slave or dead or both.

February: Mine is a scorching hot slice of m/m BDSM heaven. Talented author Jamie Craig once again gives readers another sure-fire winner with February: Mine, a part of the Calendar Boys series, and a stand-alone hit. Fast paced, great characters and blistering hot sexual encounters made me glad it's winter because you need cold temperatures to cool off after reading February: Mine. This may be too explicit for some but for those who enjoy a powerful m/m BDSM story February: Mine is definitely for you, plus I would love to hear more from Erik and Joel, please. I joyfully recommend February: Mine a hot hit!

March:
As a professional photographer, it was easy for Mal Donnelly to take photos of nude men but it was hard to keep his objectivity around porn star Alejandro Marroquin. Mal really has a thing for Alejandro but figures he doesn't have a chance. Why would the hot stud be interested in him?

Alejandro makes a living with his body on display but yearns for a lover who wants his thoughts and feelings to matter as well. Previous relationships have failed because his partners can't handle his career and Alejandro is tired of guys who can't understand that it is just a job.

Mal and Alejandro secretly admired and lusted after each other for months before they finally try dating. There is definite chemistry and shared interests that could mean the beginnings of something special. But, Mal will need to overcome his lingering insecurities and Alejandro will need patience with Mal so they can avoid the pitfalls awaiting these two men.

March: Kiss Me is another entertaining M/M tale from talented author Jamie Craig. Mal and Alejandro are great main characters with intelligence and humor. I enjoyed March: Kiss Me but didn't feel the emotional turmoil as much as I did in the previous two stories. March: Kiss Me is decidedly erotic and fun to read but it's just a bit `lite' on emotional depth.

Calendar Boys by Jamie Craig
January: Miami's Perfect Weekend by Jamie Craig

Tre is a Afro American professional football player who lives in Miami. But this year his team has not make the final and now he wants nothing but leave the city to not be around people who are waiting to see the big final game and blaming him cause their home team is not on the field. So when his flight is delayed and he is forced to spend a night in an hotel near the airport, he thinks to drink some beers to the hotel bar and hit the matress alone. And instead he meets Michael, a shy history professor who is in town to visit the family and who doesn't know nothing of football and the only thing he knows is that Tre is a very handsome and nice guy and surprisingly he has made a move on him.

Michael is thrilled. This gorgeous guy is willingly to spend an entire weekend with him and he seems also a very thoughtful man: what starts like a quickie in a bathroom, becomes an hot weekend where they have the chance not only to do a great sex but also to know better each other. But Monday Michael has to fly again home in Washington DC and Tre is a deep in the closet man, who can't outing without destroying his career.

I like this story. It's simple and tender. Tre is a very good next door guy, gentle and clever, not the usual stereotyped athlete character. Michael instead is the classical professor type, cute but shy, who sells himself short. But he is also a very sensual man, very open to sexuality and when naked in bed, not very shy: a really discovery I should say.

All in all this is a very enjoyable book, maybe a little short, less than 60 pages, but really well written.

February: Mine by Jamie Craig

If you want a very erotic vampire gay romance, Mine by Jamie Craig will suit your taste. But mind you, you have not to be easily impressed from fresh blood and hard pleasure/pain games cause here you will find plenty of them.

Erik is an old and strong vampire who is hunting a man, Travis. Six months before Travis has kidnapped his mate, Joel, and now he is holding him like pet. But Joel is not a consensual pet in a Master/Pet contract, he is drugged and unable to fight against Travis. And so Erik is planning to seduce Travis, rescue Joel and kill Travis soon after. But during is plan, could happen that he, maybe, is a little fascinated by Travis, and by his clearly desire to be mastered.

This could be a short story, less than 60 pages, but it's well developed and very enthralling. My friends know that I'm not fond of pleasure/pain game, but this one is really alluring. Even if Travis is since the beginning the bad boy, slowly I began to feel for him and to cheer for Erik to not kill him. And even if Joel in the first part of the tale is not a main character, he takes the scene in the second and last part. Travis instead is for all the tale the real Master, and he plays very good his role: usually in a romance, the captive never suffers before his savior manages to free him, but here poor Joel has to pass throught some not really enjoyable experience... unless you are not into the scene, and so maybe, it's what you'd like!

March: Kiss Me by Jamie Craig

Alejandro is a porn star, no hiding in that. He is also very good at it and one of the most sought bottom in the market. But even if Alejandro likes sex and has no problem to turn it into a profession, in private life he is almost a "normal" guy, who wants a quite steady relationship.

Six months before he laid his eyes on Mal, a young and promising photographer. But for how impossible is to believe, Alejandro must find the courage to ask Mal a date, cause he fears that Mal sees him only like the "porn star" and not like a guy. And told be thruth, Mal "sees" Alejandro like a porn star, like the star of all his wet dreams, and when Alejandro asks him out, he can't believe it.

But the first and the second dates, for how much pleasant and nice they are, don't end as you would expected: Alejandro wants to wait, to "test" Mal and his real interest in him. Then when Mal passes the test, it's time to Alejandro to prove his interest in him: and it's really tender and sexy to see Alejandro, who every day and more times a day makes sex for work, be jelaous and very possessive with Mal, that, let we say, it's the "average" guy, someone who probably you don't look twice in a club full of men.

It's obvious that the main character of this story is Alejandro: he is the object of Mal's fantasies and the director of their story, but also Mal has a very lovely role; Mal accepts Alejandro for what he is, and don't put a tantrum when Alejandro has to do his work: in the end it's only sex, and what they have together could be love...

A very interesting story, I loved to read of Alejandro and how he faces his day-to-day "work"; don't know if it's a realistic attitude, and problaby the porn movie market is not so nice and "clear", but nevertheless, Alejandro is a quite original character, and I feel his moves and actions enough "realistic".
