5 Stars from Rainbow Reviews for The Sweet Flag

I just can't believe it: two top reviews in as many days! Here's a bit from the review:
Reviewed by Frost's Fancy
The historical background is accurate and appealing, and the author doesn’t burden the story with excessive detail. Rather, the historical characters as well as the two contemporary protagonists-Brand and Ron-are well-drawn and realistic. It’s easy to empathize with the various characters and understand their actions and thoughts. There is a very minor thread of historical BDSM present also.

The eroticism is highly detailed and steaming, presented from an emotional and romantic viewpoint as well as a purely lustful point of view. Brand and Ron are neatly matched and fit together surprisingly well.

Five Hearts from TRS for "The Sweet Flag"!

Hi guys, I just had to share my first formal review for "The Sweet Flag" from The Romance Studio's Dee Dailey:

"Ms. Barrack has written an exceptional story about gay romance with many historical tidbits thrown in... The story of the two sets of lovers is interwoven well with only a few subtle hints about what might be to come... As Ron tells the tale that he says he learned from the lovers' diaries it's easy to get our emotions involved.

The rejections, the abuses finally overpowered by love are superbly told. The dialogue, the explicit sex, the tale within a tale are all believable and draw us closer to the players. When Brandon finally confronts reality with Ron their actions and the completion of the story make perfect sense...

The author does such a great job of giving hints that only fans of paranormal romance will pick up on along the way. The ending is even better as the reality of the couples takes the story to whole new heights."

Overall rating: YYYYY

All I can say is, I'm still giddy! Thanks, Dee!

Rough Blurb for "The Sweet Flag"

With The Sweet Flag coming soon from Loose Id, I thought I'd share a rough blurb.

Brandon Keats is a paranormal investigator, specializing in Civil War phenomena. He’s searched for years for evidence of gay paranormal activity. When he finally finds what he believes to be an example of this, he decides to confront the ghost of a Civil War soldier at the grave where he’s been sighted.
Ron Tayvail has guarded Matthew Hardesty's grave for years. When he learns of Brandon’s interest in the legend of “The Vigilant Soldier”, he’s determined to dissuade him from any deeper investigation. How could he realize that he’d fall in love with the fellow on first sight? And yearn to be with him. For always.
Can two men overcome differences beyond race -- and reality -- and become lovers?
