In Sam and Hector’s continuing love story, we find Sam doing his best to manipulate events around him and keeping secrets from his Master, Hector.  Conflicts arise from Hector’s jealousies and Sam’s insecurities with growing older and maturing, as well as Sam’s power-hungry ex-boyfriend having the audacity to show his face around Sam.

Incorporating Gods and Goddesses into the story makes it that much more enjoyable.  Sam as the God of Sex and Hector as the God of Love are explosive.  Some of the BDSM scenes were a little rough for me, but it was still interesting and core to their relationship.  Sam is so cute and Hector is so in love with Sam and willing to give Sam whatever he wants if he would only ask.  Love Runes also introduces Hector to Sam’s family and the Beltane celebration in a very non-traditional “bringing the boyfriend home to meet the parents”.  I enjoyed sitting down and laughing, crying, and embracing life with Sam and Hector and definitely recommend Love Runes.
