A storm of political intrigue, murderous mayhem and sexual hungers is brewing on planet Regelence. Swarthy Intergalactic Navy Captain Nathaniel Hawkins ran from a past he had no intention of ever reliving. But when his Admiral asks him to use his peerage, as an earl and the heir to a dukedom, to investigate a missing weapons stash, hes forced to do just that. As if being undercover on a Regency planet where the young men are supposed to remain pure until marriage isnt bad enough, Nate finds himself attracted to the kings unmarried son. All Prince Aiden Townsend has ever wanted was to be an artist. He has no interest in a marriage of political fortune or becoming a societal paragon. Until he lands in the arms of the mysterious Earl of Deverell. One look at Nates handsome face has Aiden reconsidering his future. Not only does Nate make a virile subject for Aidens art, but the great war hero awakens feelings in Aiden he has never felt, feelings he cant ignore. After a momentous dance at a season ball, Aiden and Nate find themselves exchanging important information and working closely together. They have to fight their growing attraction long enough to find out who stole the weapons and keep themselves from a compromising situation and certain scandal. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, violence, hot nekkid man-love. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My Fair Captain: Fantastic Genre-Blending and World-BuildingAuthor J.L. Langley is to be commended for attempting to blend several disparate elements--the Regency period set in the distant reaches of space, historical science-fiction, spy versus spy, male/male romance and no-holds-barred erotica--into one rip-roaring novel of adventure and unlikely love. It's a brilliant concept. Both Englor and Regelence were deftly woven and richly imagined. The author skillfully blended the vagaries of Regelence culture into the narrative and into the character's dialogue. ... Read More Rating: - woman in gay clothingIt's a good read, but I believe this is actually a man-woman romance, the Prince is a man only as a literary device. The author is proffering false pretenses. It's possible some gay men are like the Prince, but his story persona is very feminine in my view. Rating:  - Gay Regency in space fun readHow fun is gay Regency in space? I chuckle every time I say it. Anyone who has read historical romances will recognize the genre here, though it is given such a twist that you can do little but giggle at times. This is the first book by J.L. Langley I've read and I enjoyed it immensely. Yes, it was predictable, and yes, it reminded me of every (sometimes eye-rollingly bad) historical romance novel I've read, but was is light and fun and a distraction. I read it for enjoyment and often with ... Read More Rating:  - Her weakest novel to date... I have to say I was rather disappointed in first foray into space. Her writing as always is very good but the plot was weak and the two main characters (if you could call them that) had zero chemistry. They meet, there is an amazing attraction, they're married via shotgun and realize their in love. That's about it - there is zero conflict between the two. The supporting characters were also hard to follow as there were so many and they all seemed to have two or three names each. It was just too confusing. ... Read More Rating: - uncomfortable readThe writnig and plot were good. The concept of a futuristic world in which male virginity is prized was an interesting one, if derivative of Dara Joy's The Ritual of Proof. If Joy's male virgin suffered from the unrealistically-rapid onset of emotional and sexual maturity, the male virgin/bride in My Fair Captain suffered from a continuing and total lack of maturity. Although he was in his mid-twenties, he thought and acted like a tween or young teen -- in fact, he was no different in attitude or behavior than ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
