Strongman By: Denise Rossetti (Read Excerpt) E-mail this product to a friend Book 3 in the Phoenix Rising series. A hard-bitten mercenary who's had a gutful of mud and blood and death, Fortitude McLaren joins the Ten Nations Fair as a roustabout. Tough, cold and competent, he's shocked and angered by his hunger for Griff, a circus acrobat. Brought up in the bigoted society of the Straight Church, Fort regards manlove with casual contempt. Not for him. Never for him. Athletic, cocky and single-minded about what he wants, Griff sets about getting it. Fort fights with everything in him, but Griff affects him like no one else. It's not just his strong, supple body. Fort is irresistibly drawn by the friendship the other man offers so freely. Fort may have found a friend, but the cruel memories of his childhood are the greatest enemy of all. When a job for Jan the Aetherii puts Griff in danger, Fort discovers what's really at risk — everything he is and everything he's ever believed in. To save Griff's life and preserve his own sanity, Fort must not only fight the battle in his soul, he must win it. Quantity:

PEARL on 7/6/2011, said: Sensual, captivating, a beautifully, lexical love story that is deliciously toe-curling and the epitome of 'erotic!!' A fave book, series and author, with that special, 'difficult to define, but instantly recognizable' "something" that makes anything! Ms Rossetti writes, haunting and memorable! Ms Rossetti's "world building," her characters and plots and the ease with which she makes an alien language and culture,'child's play' to follow, is unsurpassed and sublime. Her stories define erotic romance for me, treasured books, that I love to return to and peruse often! Was this comment helpful? yes no   (0 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not) 3.
