Cry for the Sun

Title: Ake Nure Guyou ni Furu Yuki wa
Author: Hori
Content: Age difference, love triangle, bittersweet, unrequited love, family issues, regret

Review: Ethan has loved Oliver since a very young age, but Oliver loved Ethan's father. A love triangle with a big and dramatical twist. Oliver is all messed up, not that I judge him. I love messed up characters. And I feel his pain. Ethan also proves his love when he breaks free from all childhood suppressed memories

The Playmate Boy

Original title: Aigan Shounen

Author: Mizukami Shin

Content: BDSM, vampire, twisted, violence, bad romance, reunion, smut, gothic, old school

Trigger warning: There will be extreme sexual violence. 

Review: The first time I read this yaoi I couldn't really appreciate it, but Aigan Shounen turned out to be one of the most memorable stories to me. Seiji is a poor child, abused by his parents. He encounters the vampire Baron for the first time after a car accident, and for the second time as a servant. Aigan has a bunch of interesting characters in a gothic environment.  

Blue Nathaniel

Original title: Blue Nathaniel

Author: Inariya Fusanosuke

Content: Biopunk, bittersweet, war, starcrossed lovers, enemies fall in love, age difference

Review: After seeing the horrors of fated to be lost war, Eugene is captured by a Nordlandic soldier called Ent. Every page made me heart beat so fast. The fantastic world was amazingly well constructed, and the couple has a nice chemistry. I just wish it was longer.    

Crying Silently

Original title: Damatte Naite Irunodesu

Author: Uchida Kaoru

Content: Smut, teacher-student relationship, age difference, break up, strong uke, younger seme, martial arts 

Review: Ahhh, one of my yaoi sweethearts. Such a romantic story, deserves to be longer. The definitely handsome rather than cute uke is a fresh approach to yaoi. If you like a teacher-student love type of story, I recommend you Damatte.
