Nicholas and Grey have been lovers for almost a year now, but all is not well in paradise. They have more than a few issues to work out around this time of year, and in their turmoil the Trickster sees his opportunity.

  1. Cafe Noctem ranks at the top of Willa Okati’s stunning gay romances…Ms. Okati writes of the gay emotional experience from the inside as few others can; any book by her is sure to amaze and gratify readers. Café Noctem is no exception: few will be able to put it down before it ends, but few I think will not make it a re-reader, as I have.


  2. ...a lovely story. It had a magical suspenseful tone that keeps the reader engaged. Willa Okati excels at adding a paranormal element to romance.

  3. ...a fascinating story that mixed a terrific Cherokee legend with characters I immediately empathized with and cared about who were in a very precarious situation. Hot sex is something I count on from Willa Okati for but I was most enthralled by the complex and heavy emotions she brought to life in this story.


  4. ...an intriguing and passionate read…Ms. Okati wraps the reader in her writing magic with this tale of a Cherokee legend. Beyond the Snake Man’s legend is a beautiful romance that grew from a long friendship. The characters are well developed, the storyline is wonderfully creative and the love scenes are absolutely scorching.
