For Real, by Alexis Hall

Queer take on 50 Shades of Gray doesn't skimp on S&M details, while retaining Hall's trademark wit and heart. The emphasis is as much on the bond and trust between a dom and sub as on their kinky exploits.

Glitterland, by Alexis Hall

Richly detailed with striking imagery, this romance between a posh bipolar writer and a working class would-be-model "glitter pirate" is full of warmth, wit, and compassion. Simple and beautifully told.
