Told you I would not wait to pick up book three. I know originally book three was to be the last of the series but I am glad there is a four, a five, and a six still to come. Clary finally gets to see Irdis the land of her people, and discover more about her history, her family, and how strong a person she can actually be. Plus, Jace, hard, lovable, sometimes pain in the kiester Jace learns that it is okay to have a human side. I love the conclusion to the Valentine Story, and think that Ms. Clare does a great job in not oversimplifying the story. Its war, people die, people get hurt, people change.

This collection of stories are eye opening and will get most peoples heart racing. So it did what its supposed to do. However, there is a backlash if you will. It’s about men using their bodies to make money, and the well written characters in some of the stories make you want to lift them out of their problems. So you end up feeling a little down.

The facts on each page are really what make this title stand out. The story was more of a backdrop to the illustrations.

I enjoy this series. Yes, its steamy, but you also end up with characters who feel for each other, and that you enjoy seeing through multiple stories. This is the 3rd story for Tristan and Jared. They have been doing the casual thing, while still maintaining their rent boy profession. But their favorite customer Rolex is back and now he wants to change things up. But as feeling evolve, the profession is getting the better of Tristan, and Rolex ends up right in the middle of it (pun intended).

I should have paid attention when it said it was the first in a series. The story does not end you have to wait for the next installment. Please make it fast. That being said, the story starts off a little confusing, almost as if you are reading book two rather than book one. By the end you have the characters and their unit almost figured out. Mal can not talk. Due to an unfortunate incident he has been left with damaged vocal chords. But he can type, and why not have erotic IM chats with someone you are secretly following. Based on the description of this book, I thought I would be getting a more military man styled erotic read, and this is more Alias. That’s not a bad thing, but it does play into the confusion at the beginning of the story.
