We felt we had to give Riley some action and show how he met Avery. Very pleased you liked Riley enough to want his story. It'll be sad for us when this last story is finished, but maybe the characters can be revisited in a short or two - you never know. I would love to write Mal's story, sadly we didn't make him gay and I don't see het in our future.<br />-Andyairi71https://www.blogger.com/profile/06230874663876664129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-78747488405260597662011-01-02T20:45:08.847-05:002011-01-02T20:45:08.847-05:00Oh, thanks for the link Andy.

Glad to see Riley and Avery are getting their story, even though I know it ends sadly, I still liked Riley enough to want to see him happy.

Yes we totally wrote them out of order but after Mist Gray we wanted to do more with them. There are author extras for both stories - The Dominant Ingredient has among other things a deleted scene and an interview about writing the story (Riley interviewing us). It can be found on my Live Journal along with the other extras.<br />http://andy-slayde.livejournal.com/17756.html#cutid1<br />Thank you again for the lovely comments.<br />-Andyairi71https://www.blogger.com/profile/06230874663876664129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-61923134837184250712011-01-02T14:15:27.068-05:002011-01-02T14:15:27.068-05:00Finally finished means it was a hard slog.

I haven't disliked any I've read so far but many are just easy enjoyable reads that you don't think about after. However Amy's was a treat. <br /><br />I stayed up until nearly 3:00 because I felt compelled to reread Mist Gray last night. LOL Didn't wake up until 12:30 today. Haven't done that in a long long time. Now I'm completely off kilter today about what time it is.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-66308848941446544702011-01-01T19:14:08.387-05:002011-01-01T19:14:08.387-05:00We drank Pellegrino and watched the ball drop.

I'd forgotten how much I liked her!<br /><br />I read Danny Fit and thought it was great! I don't usually read shorts, but I did like many of the Dreamspinner Advent ones last year, so I got them this year. Sadly, I've been disappointed more often than not.<br /><br />I'm a fan of Crossing Borders and enjoyed this sequel, too!<br /><br />Looking forward to your new analysis!wren boudreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026047300425537095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-12453614617738918522011-01-01T14:46:01.264-05:002011-01-01T14:46:01.264-05:00There seems to be two schools of thought on Crossi...There seems to be two schools of thought on Crossing Borders, LOVE it, or meh. LOL <br /><br />No, you don't need to read Mist Grey first, this book takes place about 10 years before and while Cam and Ajay are support characters in the second book, this is just their story of how they got together. I did go back and reread Mist Grey last night just for fun and in part to see if stuff from their relationship that was mentioned there was in this book (yes, it was a test, I hate when it happens that characters are portrayed one way in a book and then in a prequel they are completely different people) and it was spot on. I just loved Ajay's attitude and determination even if I wanted to smack Cam upside the head a couple of times.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005569873582910532.post-33766466675283075732011-01-01T13:50:14.983-05:002011-01-01T13:50:14.983-05:00I must be the only person in the m/m reading world...I must be the only person in the m/m reading world who didn't get on too well with Crossing Borders! Needless to say, I don't think I'll be reading the follow on. I've really liked ZAMs other books though.<br /><br />The Amy Lane book was sooooo good! I also loved how neither character was perfect, especially Jesse who Kit had completely idealised in his head at first. Then as the book went on we got to see some of the less pleasant bits of Jesse, and yet both men worked together. Great stuff!<br /><br />I've got Mist Grey in my TBR pile. Do I need to read that one first before The Dominant Ingredient?<br /><br />Looking forward to your 'research' on first sexual positions :).Jenrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15492693697232134724noreply@blogger.com
