"4 Stars!...I enjoyed Finding Jason on a number of levels. The story, itself, is well written with characters [who] are complex and help the plot stay strong...This book also makes clear the intense disapproval of homosexuality in the Regency era in England. Acts of 'sodomy' and 'buggery' are considered crimes against the Crown and punishable by death. Ms. Lamont has done her research...I enjoyed the sexual encounters between the various men very much, while at the same time, feeling sorry for having such urges at a time when the men were considered criminals. Thank you, Ms. Lamont, for a wonderful story."--Marcy Arbitman, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
"Poignant and hopeful...will touch your heart."--Isabelle Spencer, RRT Erotic
"5 Roses!...Lyndi Lamont has penned a poignant and steamy novella...The history shared by Jason and Alfred’s former lover Michael is both touching and tragic. The obstacles placed in this couple’s path are not easily overcome, especially considering the time period in which they live. Ms. Lamont explained the time period’s ideas of morality in an interesting and effective manner. Jason and Alfred’s relationship developed in a realistic manner considering those moral strictures. Jason’s journey of discovery was a compelling tale which I was unable to put down until the satisfactory ending was revealed."--Robin, My Book Cravings
"...A story of forbidden desires. Jason must face his feelings and desires and decide what he really wants. His friend Michael’s short visit brings forth his youthful wants but it is Alfred who makes him truly confront it...Ms. Lamont details some of the prejudice found in the Regency era and some of the dangers of being different while at the same time tastefully showcasing the love between these two men."--Georgia, Joyfully Reviewed
"4 1/2 Lips!...A stimulating and enriching short tale of a man who matures as he learns to accept all aspects of his personality...I look forward to more from Lyndi Lamont, who made this Regency tale not only interesting but delightful to this reviewer."-- Frost, TwoLips Reviews
"4 Angels!...Ms. Lamont has created a very interesting story incorporating the regency period. It was fascinating to see that modern times may be more advanced, but the treatment of homosexuality is not that different. People in the past and the laws were strict about pillory, as they called it, but today things may appear open while in reality differences are still not accepted. Alfred accepts his inclinations even though they have caused him pain and is willing to put everything on the line for another chance at happiness. Jason feels there is something missing in his life, but he is very resistant to even think about what those feelings could be until he has no choice. When Alfred and Jason finally get together, it is like magic and Jason finds everything he has been looking for all of his life. Alfred teaches Jason that sometimes the hard things are worth fighting for. Thanks go to Ms. Lamont for a very interesting story."--Teresa, Fallen Angel Reviews
"...A spine-tingling erotic adventure not for the faint of heart. Lyndi Lamont is sensational! Worth reading again and again. I for one will be looking for more of her books."--Deb, Sensual Reads Book Reviews
...Jason knew the battle had been lost. He could no longer ignore his desire for Threadgill. No, Alfred. It seemed odd to think of a man he desired by his last name. He reached up to touch Alfred’s face, running the tip of one finger along the man’s cheek. When Alfred licked his lips, Jason’s gaze was drawn to his mouth, to that full lower lip he’d longed to taste.
“Sir?”
Jason sighed and stepped back, his hand falling to his side. “I beg your pardon. I do not know what came over me. You must think I have lost my mind.”
“No, sir. I want the same thing.”
He dropped his gaze to his groin, and Jason looked down to see the tent pole under Alfred’s towel.
Jason smiled ruefully. “I can see you do.”
Alfred laughed and broke into a smile, revealing deep dimples on each side of his mouth.
“You should smile more often,” Jason remarked. “Show off your dimples.”
Alfred grimaced. “Good reason not to smile. My mum always said those dimples was too pretty for a man.”
“Not at all,” Jason said. “I find you intriguingly masculine.” He stepped closer and traced the groove in Alfred’s cheek, savoring the slight stubble. “Definitely masculine,” he whispered. “After all, you bear the mark of war on your body.”
He moved his hand to the ugly scar on Alfred’s shoulder. “You were grievously wounded, were you not?”
Alfred nodded. “Saber wound. Never got the strength back in that arm.”
“Yes, Michael told me.”
“That’s when I became his batman. Not fit for duty.”
Jason glanced down before saying, “You look fit enough for what I have in mind.”
Alfred laughed again and Jason darted in to press a kiss to one of Alfred’s dimples before it disappeared.
Alfred grabbed Jason’s shoulders and pulled him closer, kissing him back with fervor. Jason opened his mouth to taste the questing tongue. He wrapped his arms around Alfred’s middle, pulling him closer.
Jason ran his hands over the strong, smooth muscles of Alfred’s back, still cool and slightly damp from his bath. When he felt cloth, he tugged at it until the towel fell to the floor. Jason cupped the firm muscles of Alfred’s arse and rubbed against him. They were both hard as pikestaffs now.
Gasping for air, Jason broke the kiss and sank to his knees, pulling Alfred with him. He reached between them to encircle Alfred’s cock with his fingers. Alfred moaned and thrust into his hand.
“Easy, lad.” Jason scooted back a few inches to savor the sight of Alfred’s nude body. Except for the ugly scar on his shoulder, he had a beautiful body, leanly muscled and manly, with broad shoulders, narrow hips and strong thighs. Jason trailed one hand over Alfred’s chest, grazing the erect nipples, while the other continued to caress his hardened shaft. Alfred sucked in a breath, the muscles of his belly tensing.
Jason smiled at the effect his touch had. He moved his hand slowly down the smooth skin of Alfred’s cock, then back up to the base of the head.
Alfred cupped the back of Jason’s head and pulled him close for another kiss. Their tongues dueled as Jason increased both pressure and rhythm. He lengthened the strokes to cover the head and felt beads of moisture on the tip. When Alfred thrust again, Jason increased the pressure, while using his free hand to caress his sac. Alfred gripped Jason’s shoulders as he climaxed, spurting his seed into Jason’s hand.
When his breathing slowed, Alfred pulled Jason closer for another kiss, more tender and less urgent this time. Jason held him close, feeling the beating of their hearts.
When Alfred reached for the buttons on his waistcoat, Jason stayed his hand. “What are you about?”
Alfred looked him in the eye and said, “I would see you naked.”
The demand was not as shocking as the fact Alfred had made it. He was bolder than Jason had anticipated.
“I’d never hurt you,” Alfred assured him.
“I believe that,” Jason said. “I saw how tenderly you cared for Michael toward the end. I know you are capable of great loyalty.” The question was whether he was deserving of Alfred’s trust. But his erection was nearly unbearable now and he ached for release. He shrugged out of his waistcoat and pulled his shirt over his head.
Alfred pushed Jason back, until he was reclining on his lower arms. He watched as Alfred expertly unbuttoned his pantaloons and tugged them down and off. Alfred took Jason’s shaft and stroked it with one hand, making Jason’s balls tighten. With the other hand, Alfred eased back the foreskin and caressed the head with one finger. Pure need shot through Jason and he trembled.
Then, to Jason’s shock, Alfred lowered his head and took Jason’s cock in his mouth, sucking on the tip...
