GENRE: Sci-fi
Romance
BLURB:
Kya Hawl is an architect on the Precinct One redevelopment,
a prestigious and contentious project in the city-state of Velli. While she is
happy with her part-time female lover, Judge Elmi Chadee, she wants more. She
wants a family and children, for that she needs two men willing to put their
life on the line to breed.
Tref Xant and his partner Dru Macon seem like the right
guys; however, Tref has secrets and Dru is about to deploy to Precinct One, one
of the roughest precincts in Velli. The redevelopment can’t come soon enough.
Tref would like to see the placed burned to the ground. But even that wouldn’t
be able to erase his memories of growing up there.
With Dru away Tref finds himself falling for Kya. Jealousy
sparks between the men. A triad can never form as Dru wants Elmi and she has
sworn off unions after her sister ran away to join the Terrin Sect.
As riots erupt and the redevelopment is threatened Dru
realizes he has to fight for what he wants--something Tref learned long time
ago. A four-way union--while unusual--would work. But will the women agree when
they learn of Tref’s past?

Review:
Desire to Fall is set in a very complicated and unusual
world. It is a world where sex has
to take some unusual turns. Be
warned: a lot of sex is required
to tell this story. There is M/M,
F/F, M/F and ménages that are a requirement to keep everyone safe.
The characters are interesting and are very well
developed. Kya Hawl, Judge Elmi
Chadee, Tref Xant, and Dru Macon all play an important part in the story. They have strengths and weaknesses that
add interest to the story line. All
have events in their past that are affecting their present. Look of tension, danger, and romance all
wrapped up in an interesting and unusual world.

Excerpt
“Mmm.” She pressed against him; her wings opened to encircle
them. “I want to sink my teeth into you.” The words tumbled out even though she
had no right to say them, or ask him to make that sacrifice. He wasn’t hers.
They weren’t that close.
He groaned and nuzzled against her neck. His teeth pressed
against her skin but didn’t break it. She wanted him too. She wanted him so
much at that moment. It was like she was solstice crazy. Those old stories
suddenly took shape and had a meaning she’d never realized before. The Huntress
had never meant to kill her lover, but she hungered for him and had lost
control.
People walked past, laughing, whistling.
Kya closed her eyes and took a shaky breath that filled her
lungs with his scent. It was sharp and sweet—perfect for him. She placed her
hands on his chest, let her fingers splay over the muscle. She had to regain
control. The summer night thrummed in her blood. Unrequited hunger and lust
burned in her body.
Had she ever wanted anyone quite so badly?
If she tasted him, would she go too far?
No, she was in control of her body. She was not a slave to
biology. She wouldn’t kill her lover—he wasn’t her lover. She should just go
home. She would not fall victim to solstice lust the way so many people did,
and she most certainly didn’t want any children yet. But as his hands cupped
her butt and brought her closer so she could feel him hard against her belly,
she wasn’t so sure she could resist. Or that she even wanted to.
“Have a taste; go to bed with me on your tongue.” His voice
was rough. His hands were still on her butt as he moved against her with
unspoken promise.
