About The Book:

The Review: This is a very short read that brings fantasy and some sci-fi elements together. The premise of the story is that two men from different planets have erotic dreams of one another. The one on earth uses the erotic dreams to create a character he draws and the one from the other planet determines to leave his home in search of his dream lover. The sex scenes are erotic but I didn't find anything special or different about them than any other M/M story.

The cover art was pretty good and the guy depicted on it is appealing but the cover is generic and could have fit any romance story.

The editing could have been a little better. I found a couple of misspelled words that should have been caught by the editor or at least in line edits. Also, the story begins on page one, which is actually seven pages into the .pdf, with two blank pages following the title pages, and no chapter indication. Okay, maybe that is petty but I like a "1" or "Chapter One" or something to let me know the story is about to begin. However, I suppose this is considered "house style" since I have read other Breathless shorts that begin the same way.

The concept of this story was interesting and DC Juris' writing ability is excellent. The only problem I had with the writing is purely personal, and that was the use of "Jesus Christ" and a reference made by the character from the other planet. Otherwise, I found the story engaging, and those readers who are looking for a M/M quickie—this one is for you.
