There are two other books using these characters, all available on your e-reader and I can't help but think that this series is going to be a hit. Do yourself a favour and download one. ∎ THE HEART AND THE HAND Dean Harkness is a poet that makes you think, and not always about the good stuff, not always about lost love or feelings, but also about the underbelly of society, the people and things you pass by every day, the news stories you may not want to see. And always with an eye on the word count, never using two where one will do, wary of overly decorative narrative… THEGAYUK FEB/MARCH FRAMED ON TITAN Stevie Gonzalez’s I’m not one for giving away plots or spoiling the storyline for you, but lets just say that our two heroes provide laughs, sultry sex scenes and adventure aplenty in this introduction to Stern and Moreno. We have chases around bases, a jail-break, one very unusual diversion tactic and what amounts to a rip-roaring romp through space - think Flash Gordon with good sex and you have an idea! 2014 READ Take my advice, read this book, you wont be disappointed. The price belies the content - less than £1 for pages of enlightenment. ∎ BLOWING OFF CLASS Edited by Winston Gieseke It goes without saying we at TGUK love a bit of Erotica College which is about discovering who you are and learning important skills for your future, but not all experimentation happens in the science lab. And sometimes your sexy study partner only wants to go over anatomy—yours. Blowing Off Class features steamy tales of students hitting the sheets as often as they hit the books. Get ready for a series of all-nighters as you head back to school and relive your hottest learning experiences, none of which happened in the classroom. Because the only college sex you regret is the sex you didn’t have! ∎ BRUNO GUMBER € 15,95 / US$ 17.99 / £ 11.99 ISBN 978-3-86787-686-5 TRASHY NOVELS Back in the 50s and 60s, there was an abundance of pulp fiction – trashy novels which were cheap and infamous for their lurid and exploitative stories and their sensational cover art. The artwork was designed solely to tempt the reader into buying the book and actively encouraged the potential buyer to quite literally judge a book by its cover. ∎ Reviews by Paul Szabo, Chris Jones 35
