Lucky by J.J. Massa

Finding Lucky Jacobson bent over and all sleepy-sexy was a dream come true. How could a man resist making a move on him at the end of his shift?

Lucky is an incredibly hot interlude between two police officers, one who has dreamed about a particular man from afar and the other who is caught up in the feelings aroused in him. I loved the glimpse into their relationship, and the hints about the future between them.

Signet and Silk by J.J. Massa

Standing at the photocopier at work, Landon Kelly couldn’t get his mind off lawyer Pierce Anders’s silk boxers. When Pierce comes up behind him, and teaches him a few tricks against the photocopier, he can’t believe his luck…especially when Pierce makes it clear that he wants to see him again.

Signet and Silk is the first story in a series about two intriguing characters. The sex is hot, the emotions are clear, and Signet and Silk is a great snapshot of what can happen when you’re caught staring in a men’s room.

Bar Back by J.J. Massa

His little bar back was late, and he wasn’t going to tolerate that, until he found out the reason. It seems that his bar back needs to be dominated, put in his place. He’s more than willing to teach the bar back what to do, right up against the bar itself.

Bar Back is a mouth-watering interlude that has so much sexual tension I was panting to see what would happen next. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a submissive bar back at his or her beck and call.

Into the Light by Illian Obsidian

Pan is trying real hard to be happy for his best friend, Rengal. Rengal’s going to be joined to a female and Pan can’t bring himself to let his friend know his feelings for him. It’s a good thing Rengal decides to listen to the rumors swirling about Pan. He has one night of pleasure left as a single male and he’s decided to spend it with Pan. Can they leave it at just one night?

Into the Light starts with heartbreak and builds into incredible love.  Pan and Rengal are two best friends who have such history together. Pan can’t control his feelings for Rengal, and I was so happy that he was able to get a shot at true happiness.

Life’s Mysteries by J.J. Massa

Waking up in unfamiliar surroundings, he should be terrified, but he isn’t truly afraid until he realizes he has no idea who he is, or where he is. When a man comes out of the shower, calling himself Zeus and crawling into bed with him, Philippe must figure out what’s going on.

Life’s Mysteries had me experiencing the confusion and lust right along with Philippe as he tried to figure out what was going on, finally losing himself to the luscious man in his bed.  

Trial and Error by Illian Obsidian

Lawyer Clint Reese can’t keep his mind, or his eyes, off opposing attorney Jonathon Williams. It’s been too long since he last had a bed partner, but he can’t think of anyone but Jonathon at the moment. After kissing him in the elevator, and having Jonathon follow him home, Clint finally has what he wants. Can their weekend of love last further than Sunday night?

Clint and Jonathon was a fun couple to watch grow together in Trial and Error. Jonathon had never thought about being with another man, and I loved how natural and realistic his feelings were. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about their time together.

Learning Curve by J.J. Massa

Kean McDare can’t stop thinking about his professor, which is ridiculous seeing as Kean’s an older student who just wants his degree. Caught daydreaming in class, he’s asked to meet Richard Wyeth during his office hours. He doesn’t expect to find the professor at one of his jobs the next day naked with another man, and he doesn’t expect to get propositioned himself.

Learning Curve is still one of my favorite J.J. Massa tales, even after rereading it time and time again. The combination of an unsure man, learning about what he wants and needs, coupled with the self-assured Professor gets me every time.

Get Lucky is a compilation of sweet and sexy stories, some told from the first person and most allowing only the barest glimpse into the lives of the characters. I felt like a voyeur for most of Get Lucky, unbearably caught up in the lives and loves of the people within. Separately, the stories in Get Lucky are wonderful, although some are stronger than others. Put together into a single anthology the short stories complement each other, playing off each other’s strengths and weakness, and the final result of Get Lucky is mind-blowing.
