Excerpt
It was just a frigging gay bar, for fuck’s sake. The world wasn’t going to shake just because Tony DiMarco took a drink in a fag bar.
Maybe not the whole world, but his little part of Manhattan would be shaken to its very core. There was a good chance his momma and poppa would never talk to him again. Anthony DiMarco III, son of fourth generation Italian storekeepers, the first DiMarco to go to college, an internee every summer for their local senator, a rising star in local politics — there was no way they were going to accept he was a faggot.
“My boy’s gonna go all the way to the top!” his poppa boasted to anyone who’ll listen. He was so proud of his oldest son.
Poppa wouldn’t be so proud of Little Tony now, would he? Old Tony hated all queers and was proud to boast that the only time some fag came onto him, the fanuk lost all his front teeth. Tony shivered. There was good reason not to tell his Poppa that Little Tony liked the boys.

Andrew’s life is a cliché: he’s a gay man trapped in a loveless marriage, thanks to his religious, overbearing mother. Then a new couple moves in down the street, and Andrew finds himself falling for Nathan in a big way. Nathan is straight, married, and just about to be a father, but after one fateful night out together at a club, Nathan has to face the fact that his feelings for Andrew go way beyond that of a friend and neighbor.
When Andrew’s wife asks for a divorce, both men’s lives are thrown into disarray. Arguments about their responsibilities to their wives and children, doubting themselves and each other, and some harrowing lies pull them apart… but they never leave each other’s thoughts.

Reviews of Prey Time
A- from Brief Encounters.
This short takes place over only a few hours, when the two pick Jeff up in the club and take him back to their hotel for some playtime. However despite the shortness of the piece, each character has their own personality and that comes through clearly. The entire story is told from Jeff’s point of view so you only get his perception, but I never got confused as to which twink was which, or who was doing what. A lot is packed into a few words.
Another point I noted on rereading, yes, I reread it, I enjoyed it that much and my rating indicates that, was that it is in present tense. Usually it takes me ten pages to get my head wrapped around present tense but this was so seamless I didn’t even notice at first which for me is a big achievement. When you’re in the mood for a short steamy read with a nice conclusion it’s a great choice
4.5 (somethings – balls?) at Cryselle’s Craziness
Third person present tense brings us readers along on a a hunt — Jeff is looking for a night of hot sex, and the two dancers are hunting him equally hard. The power dynamics of a threesome waver all over — who’s in charge is the name of this game, and in the heat of the encounter – and damn is it hot – one of the dancers vry smoothly takes over running this show.
There’s a nice twist at the end of sweaty, raw sex, and when one of the men says what’s bubbling through my mind, I could only think I’ve been played just as hard as Jeff has, and I like it just as much. Which is a lot. The story is 95% PWP, really, but very fine PWP, and that 5% of back-loaded plot puts it on my re-read shelf.
These made my day.

5 kisses from Michele ‘n Jeff reviews
“I am so very glad that I was because, yes, while this story left me with tears streaming down my face, the story and the characters were pure, unadulterated and heady MAGIC! And, even now, a few days later, I can still feel the emotional pull of Max and Richard’s short but amazing story. I also expect that that effect will last for awhile.”

” I like both Max and Robert. They’re interesting and well rounded characters and they’re actually perfect for each other, but once again poor Max is left standing sad and rejected when Robert leaves. Okay, I admit it. I want another story where Robert leaves his clueless fiancée at the altar, so he can rush back to Max. Call me crazy, but the Night Porter deserves to find some happiness of his own.”
4 stars at Reviews by Jessewave
There is one heartbreaking moment where the story is actually on a knife edge, where I as a reader sat biting my nails, wanting to yell at the guys to open their eyes, to take the leap of faith, to realize that they are made for each other… and again it’s Max who tips the scales. Now that it’s way too late for both of them, he applies full brakes. It is not so much Robert who walks out on Max, but Max who shoves Robert out of the door and into the arms of his fiancee.
