While lunching with his friend Johnny, Derek comes to the startling realization that the sexual magic between him and his live-in lover, Jeremy, is all but gone. A handsome, openly gay man involved in the theater scene should be getting lucky more than once a month or so, especially if he’s living with someone. Tempted beyond his ability to resist and aroused past anything he’s experienced thus far, Derek decides on an erotic encounter with a nameless, faceless stranger - and gets the surprise of his life.

Escape by Jade Falconer is a highly erotic, M/M short story that will have you wishing for a cold shower. There are sub-themes of some mild fetish behaviors, including spanking and light BDSM elements. This is a very hot little tale, and the plot twisted just enough to keep readers on their toes. While characters are not highly detailed, the smoking-hot eroticism certainly is, and will heat up a cold winter’s night. At just over twenty pages, it’s exactly the right length for a quick, heated read. While this story was a bit too over the top for my taste, I can still appreciate the plot and passion that is evidenced in its pages. Four Angels!
