Product Description
Talk about a compromising situation! A storm of political intrigue, murderous mayhem and sexual hungers is brewing on planet Regelence. Swarthy Intergalactic Navy Captain Nathaniel Hawkins ran from a past he had no intention of ever reliving. But when his Admiral asks him to use his peerage, as an earl and the heir to a dukedom, to investigate a missing weapons stash, hes forced to do just that. As if being undercover on a Regency planet where the young men are supposed to remain pure until marriage isnt bad enough, Nate finds himself attracted to the kings unmarried son. All Prince Aiden Townsend has ever wanted was to be an artist. He has no interest in a marriage of political fortune or becoming a societal paragon. Until he lands in the arms of the mysterious Earl of Deverell. One look at Nates handsome face has Aiden reconsidering his future. Not only does Nate make a virile subject for Aidens art, but the great war hero awakens feelings in Aiden he has never felt, feelings he cant ignore. After a momentous dance at a season ball, Aiden and Nate find themselves exchanging important information and working closely together. They have to fight their growing attraction long enough to find out who stole the weapons and keep themselves from a compromising situation and certain scandal. Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, violence, hot nekkid man-love.

My Fair Captain- A Joyfully Recommended Title May 8, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Aiden Townsend is one of the princes of the regency planet Regelence, but thankfully not the heir to the throne. All Aiden has wanted to do in his life is to be allowed to pursue his art and become a painter of note. He has zero interest in political intrigues, mingling in society or worse still - acquiring a consort! However, if he keeps having these little accidents that require being rescued, his parents, King Steven and King-Consort Raleigh have threatened to find Aiden a consort and curtail his freedom to pursue his art. This has kept Aiden toeing the line, or at least seeming to, but when he is caught falling out of a tree by visiting dignitary Nathaniel Hawkins, Lord Deverell, Aiden finds something outside of his art to hold his interest. Aiden wants to pursue his attraction for this handsome man, but how to do that without being compromised?
Nathaniel Hawkins is a captain in the Intergalactic Navy and he has been sent undercover to Regelence to investigate the theft of a stash of IN weapons. Nate reluctantly accepts this assignment to investigate knowing that he is entering into a patriarchic society where the nobility is composed of male pairings and where young men are expected to remain pure until marriage. Nate thinks he is ready to handle the situation, until he comes across one of the King's unmarried sons. Now Nate has to fight his attraction for Aiden, or he risks compromising the boy and ending up married to him.
My Fair Captain is by far one of the best books I've read in a long while. It's a fast passed, erotic and humorous story that will engage you from the very first word. Aiden and Nate are amazing characters that you will love for their charm, wit and sense of humor, and of course it doesn't hurt that they are both hunks! The plot is very compelling and the chemistry between Aiden and Nate will scorch you every time they come together. Ms. Langley creates a great world for her characters to inhabit, and I hope we will get to explore it further in future books. The secondary characters are wonderful and add playfulness to the book that is thoroughly enjoyable. J.L. Langley did a masterful job in My Fair Captain creating characters and a world that you will want to revisit often. If you enjoy spicy and playful m/m romances I recommend that you pick up My Fair Captain today, but be warned you might stay up all night reading this book!

Engaging, amusing and characters to fall in love with. May 7, 2008

I have a great time reading this. No qualm about purchasing it in print too. This is a great sci-fi M/M romance with an engrossing plot, appealing characters and I like Langley's light hearted, amusing and engaging style. She has created a fascinating futuristic world and the story takes place in a planet, advanced in technology, but living in a Regency period which is patriarchal, with its "charming" protocols. Instead of the virgin ladies being "protected", it is the virgin young men, more so when he is a royalty or lord.
Both main and supporting characters are appealing and lively and they are all gorgeous men of course.
This is vol 1 of a series and centers on Captain Nathaniel Hawks, 100% alpha and a hunk. He has an unhappy past which forced him into exile but he has made an excellent military career for himself.
Then there is Prince Aiden, totally adorable in his innocence, with his artistic flair and intensity. You could not ask for a better or more romantic pairing.
The supporting characters of Aiden's royal Father and Sire and his equally gorgeous brothers as well as Nathan's adopted son are equally likable and I certainly do not mind future volumes to center on any of them.
This is not your usual M/M erotica because there is a wonderful and tightly paced plot here and characters development which take precedence over the sex, which believe me is hot and sensual. A dose of BDSM but it is OK.
Looking forward to much more on this series and bravo, J.L.Langley.
A true page tuner May 6, 2008
As a romantic it is hard to find stories that really speak to me. It's difficult because so many turn into a weeping mess and fail to capture a masculine quality in the work. Not so for this book. I can say that this book is everything I look for in a story. The characters aren't one dimensional. There is a real plot, other than trying to get two people to hook up.
Nate Hawkins is a complicated hero, a naval captain for the IN, and total stud. Raised in one world, it was taken from him by fate and he moved on and created a new life.
Aiden Townsend is a reluctant prince. Not the heir to the throne, but a man who wants to be free of certain obligations to pursue his hearts desire. He loves his family, but not its place in society.
I sincerely hope that this is the start of a series because the plot is amazing and leaves open the possibility of so much more. Rexley, Payton, Colton, and Tarren Townsend, all deserve their stories to be fully displayed as Aiden's was. All I can say is, 'Bravo!'
langley has another hit!!!! May 6, 2008

Another funny and beautiful series by J.L. Langley.
Aiden is a prince of a futuristic planet, Regelence: even if they use the modern technology the kingdon is still led like in the Regengy era with a little twist: the society is all patriarchal and the homosexuality is the norm. Plus, the same sex partners can decide to genetically create a son with both their genes and to alterate his sexual preference in order to make him prefer men. And finally, is common beliefs that the chastity before marriage is a virtue, so men has to remain virgin until their 25 birthday or until the marriage: a man found in a compromising situation with another man is obliged to marry.
So when Nate, the disowened son of a near planet's duke and now captain on the Interstallar Army, is asked to investigate on a weapons theft happened on Regelence, he is hosted by the royal family: Stephen, the king, Raleigh, his consort, and 5 sons, and among them Aiden. For Nate is love at first sight: Aiden is young and innocent, but clever and spirit. He wants to be an artist, he doesn't want to marry some man, and become a consort bonded to family due and striclty cerimonial. But when he sees Nate, he can't deny the sudden and unknown desire he feels and suddenly become Nate's consort is not a so bad idea.
I like very much the plot of the story and the fact that many part of the book is dedicated to explain and close all the open point of Nate's story. The book has an open end, I will bet we will read in the future all the stories of the Aiden's brothers, but in this book you will have plenty of time to enjoy the evolving love story between Aiden and Nate and all its unexpected shifts...
As always J.L. Langley is master in humor, and the Gay Regency Society is a great original idea. The royal family is an happy bunch of brats and they are all well portrayed and all deserve an own book.
