1: The Heart Believes by Invid Fan This concluding (?) work in Invid Fan's Aether series starts out with a real bang. Can't wait to see the rest!
[Edit]Not only did the work start out strong, it ended strong. There is certainly room for Invid Fan to add more stories in this series, or to jump ahead a hundred years and show us what is in store for the families of Buffalo in the future. Readers should read all of both "Love Unexpected" and "From the Aether Comes Life" series. "The Heart Believes" brings both storylines to a satisfying conclusion.
2: The Odds by Crimson Dragon Commplex character-driven story with sexual tension from the beginning to the end. Crimson is a master. Or mistress. Anyway, read it.
3: Opus One by Ryan Sylander This story was repeatedly recommended to me by fans of "Model Student." They said that based on my other favorites and my story that I would like it. They were wrong. I LOVE IT!
Ryan writes with sensitivity, not only for his characters, but for the music world. I find it rare that artists of any medium cross over into another (like music/writing) and rarer still to see it done so well. I am working my way through Ryan's playlist for the pieces he references in the book. For a classical music lover, and a lover of good polyamorous coming of age stories, this one tops my list.
Thank you to those who have compared "Model Student" with "Opus One." After reading it, I am humbled.
4: Rebecca Danced by EzzyB EzzyB is a talented author who paints rich and highly emotional scenes. It doesn't take more than a chapter to be in love with each of his characters. The story of Rebecca is enchanting and the rise of Chaos is filled with triumph and hope. The series of three novels improves with each installment. This comes with my highest recommendations.
