Masquerade by Clare London
Containing four stories, Masquerade is an anthology featuring very different men from different times but who still want the same thing; someone to love them.
In Bonded we meet a pampered but outwardly cruel Chancellor who finds the key to belonging in a young sensitive. Two squires separated from the king they serve, are on a quest to rescue a princess but find more than they bargained for in Trickery.
Possession shows us a young man haunted by sensual dreams who struggles to save his family’s business. The owner of a fabric factory finds comfort and solace in one of his employees in the final story, Threadbare.
All of the stories explore the sensuality between two men and sometimes completely change the lives of the men involved. The stories and characters were both well written but something just did not click for me. There was almost a desperation to most of the main characters that turned me off. Based on the plots I believe that the desperation was intended but for me, there was just a bit too much. If you are a fan of M/M erotica, this may be the book for you.
