When Robert McLeod and his flatmate Angelo travel to a remote Scottish island, they anticipate a relaxing holiday in Robert's newly inherited cottage. Kelpie Island has a strange, rocky beauty, the natives are friendly, and welcome the blond Englishman and the coffee-skinned Argentinian with open arms. But all is not what it seems. Robert's secret feelings for the handsome Angelo continue to grow, whilst Kelpie Island and its inhabitants are keepers of a more ancient secret, their hospitality hiding a deeper motive. As Angelo becomes increasingly beguiled by the domineering rulers of the island - and Robert wrestles with pangs of jealousy while assuaging his desires with its willing inhabitants - it becomes apparent that there is more to the island's traditions than either man could ever imagine.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun hot time which happens to be well written,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Rider (Idol Series) (Paperback)
So often the "erotica" genre is marked by bad writing and jumps between sex scenes. This, however, is much more literate with extensive bridges between (well written) panting scenes. And the story keeps you going, pulled along to see where the story goes, what the secret is, and what happens to the characters. If you want to expand yourself out of the run of the mill, definitely check this out. It makes me want to read more of the books by Jack Gordon, which others have reviewed favorably.

Great "Adults Only" reading.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Rider (Idol Series) (Paperback)
This is the first book I've read in the Idol series. The cover artwork and description on the back made me buy it. But once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Jack Gordon has written a story with facinating characters, an interesting plot, and wonderfully discriptive sex scenes.

A little non run-of-the mill,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dark Rider (Idol Series) (Paperback)
This is a nice piece of homoerotic literature which actually has characterization and a plot, unlike many other erotic books out there. Many of the genre seem to overbalance in terms of the ratio of hot smut-filled pages to actual story, but Dark Rider seems to have gotten the balance pretty close to perfect. The plot revolves around two would-be lovers--a gay Englishman who has inherited a tiny cottage on a remote Scottish island, and the apparently straight Argentinian roommate that he's had an unrequited crush on for months. The two of them end up in a variety of sexual shenanigans with various members of said remote Scottish island, including a long-haired, kilt-clad muscular fisherman straight out of Braveheart, and a leather-jacketed masochistic juvenile delinquent. I also enjoyed the lovely Lady Laird of the island and her secret, and the pagan aspects of the islanders' deal with the Faeries, who require a sacrifice (a handsome young stud, of course). Although there's a lot of words dedicated to Robert's ongoing crush on Angelo (so many that it's almost a relief rather than a climax when they finally get it together) it'll probably please those of you who've been in that situation with a straight roomie and fantasized similar endings. And having lost my own virginity on a stone table surrounded by standing stones, I've got a soft spot for stories of pagan sex rituals in such places. Dark Rider was a fun read, and was a welcome spot in my bleak week when it came in the mail. If you're bored with most of the genre, this will add a bit of welcome intelligence as well as a good story on its own. One to read once quickly, and reread for the sake of the plot. Raven Kaldera
