Good stuff

I read Josh Lanyon’s Dangerous Ground the other week and thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s a novella where two men, who are law enforcement officers and partners, come to admit their romantic feelings for each other. I liked the way it started out where Tyler is, in some ways, at a disadvantage—he’s been recently wounded and still recovering, and he’s admitted his feelings for Will who apparently does not reciprocate. The backstory is skillfully woven in and you come to realize Will’s feelings are more complicated than Tyler understands. You also come to realize that Tyler, though vulnerable is very, very tough.

I also liked how clearly different these two characters were. Sometimes occupation can lead to shorthand, especially in a shorter story. But with two characters who have exactly the same job, the writer has to use other, more interesting methods to characterize.

Anyway, Josh Lanyon fangirl here! But, good read!

In other news, Poison got to #11 at Fictionwise. And no longer the lone orange Poor rating. Instead, there’s one rating each, ranging from blue to green to yellow to orange. Much prettier! And that’s what counts.
