One Night in Boukos
One Night in Boukos | A.J. Demas
2 posts | 1 read
On a night when the whole city is looking for love, two foreigners find it in the last place they expected. The riotous Psobion festival is about to begin in the city of Boukos, and the ambassador from the straightlaced kingdom of Zash has gone missing. Ex-soldier Marzana, captain of the embassy guard, and the ambassadors secretary, the shrewd and urbane eunuch Bedar, are the only two who know. Marzana still nurses the pain of an old heartbreak, and Bedar has too much on his plate to think of romance. Neither of them could imagine finding love in this strange, foreign city. But as they search desperately for their employer through the streets and taverns and brothels of Boukos, they find unexpected help from two of the locals: a beautiful widowed shopkeeper and a teenage prostitute. Before the Zashians learn what became of their ambassador, they will have to deal with foreign bureaucracy, strange food, stranger local customs, and murderers. And they may lose their hearts in the process. One Night in Boukos is a standalone romance featuring two couples, one m/f and one m/m. Dive into a fresh, new, imaginary world of love and intrigue!

ONE NIGHT IN BOUKOS is really good, but I‘m limping through it at a glacial pace because I can‘t seem to sit down and actually READ it. Blah. I‘m definitely enjoying it less than I should be. Reading slowly is the worst.

Today I figured I‘d give a big chunk of my afternoon to it, but I‘m dealing with one of those energy-sucking hell colds. I had to NAP. Napping is the other worst. Now I‘m gonna make another push, wrapped in tweed for warmth.

I‘m glad to have an A.J. Demas novel to read and a Casey to snuggle. France is great for dog watching but less great for random doggie interactions. They‘re all so well-trained they don‘t even come say hi to you when they‘re on a long leash.

I‘m sad to be back somewhere cold and brown, where most stuff was built in the 1970s or later and I‘ve gotta pay attention to my expensive food‘s country of origin again. 😔
