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.

- Talking about 'Flipping the Script'
J.L. Langley has this odd habit of 'feminizing' the men in her work that I find extremely fascinating. She truly does 'flip the script' on us with this story. Fabulous job!

- Romance and Intrigue at it's best!
I'll give you a brief synopsis - 'My Fair Captain' takes place in the future, on a planet called Regelence, where male children are genetically bred to have a preference for the same sex. Now that's a fresh take on this whole M/M romance thing. Without the gay persecution/hatred plot that usually centers around these M/M romance novels, Langley is able to devote more of the story line to the romance and subplot. I read this book over the course of several days, and was so taken by the characters and Langley's creativity, I didn't want the story to end. When I finished the book, I flipped it over and started reading it again. Yeah, it's that good. I've read several other Langley novels, and this one is, by far, her best.

- Great cover art but...
It had great cover art but the writing itself was sometimes painful to read. The plot itself wasn't bad but the author could have used the services of a strong editor. The cheesy words the author chose for profanity, the loose plot ends, and the somewhat deus ex machina solutions when she wrote herself into a corner. But still, it's fantastically better than gay sci fi/fantasy we had ten years ago... which was next to nothing. Keep on truckin' Ms. Langley. I'll try a book of yours again.

- Oustanding, Langley's Best Work
I have eagerly purchased all of Langley's published work, and enjoyed every one. Her M/M romance leans heavily toward erotica, but she always creates well-drawn, likeable characters that make the stories special beyond the hot sex. However, in "My Fair Captain" she has created a rich science fiction novel full of mystery and adventure with a beautiful romance at the heart of it. I was astounded at how good a writer Langley is beyond the romance. Her world-building is intricate and detailed, and the cast of characters full and diverting.

The story is set in the distant future when humans have colonized many worlds and travel between them on starships. Langley has chosen a convention that I have seen before in scifi that works well here - individual worlds based on old-Earth societies set among high technology. Two worlds are at the forefront of this story - Englor and Regelence. Both societies ... Read More
