{Review} A Plump of Woodcocks by Suanne Laqueur #SuanneLaqueur

So this is another f**kton of gratuitous boning with the Venery boys. 

That’s it, that’s the blurb.

“I had a horrible day," Tej said. "I mean, everything that could go wrong went wrong. And I saw you sitting in that booth and thought, Now there’s a guy I’d like to see bent over my bed. I think I’ll try to pick him up. End the day on a truly humiliating note.”

Jude slid his hands down Tej’s back and tucked his fingertips beneath the waist of his jeans. “Go back to the bent over your bed part?”

If you’re new here, you’ve been warned. This is pure, shameless smut. It doesn’t fit anywhere or take the place of anything in the Venery novels. It just is what it is. Smut for smut’s sake.

If you’re old here, welcome back and thank you for taking one for the team.

The bathroom was steamy and dark, a lit candle on the edge of the sink. Jav lolled in the tub, his hair slicked back. Stef brought in more candles and poured out two shots of rum to chug, then more generous tots to sip. He sat on the bathmat and read out loud. Jav rested an arm on the ledge of the tub, cheek on his bicep, damp fingers playing with a fold of Stef’s shirt. The walls of the little room drew close. Even the fixtures seemed to lean on their elbows and listen.

“This is nice,” Jav said softly, drawing up Stef’s neck and behind his ear.

Contains adults being nice to each other in adult situations using adult language. For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they will like.

​On the surface, A Plump of Woodcocks appears to be just what Suanne’s fans have come to love – a collection of intimate moments as shared by her iconic characters. In truth, it’s so much more than that. It’s a celebration of life and of simple human connection.  
 
Suanne delves into some hard realities, like homophobia, with care and respect.  Each couple – Tej and Jude – Jav and Stef – struggle and then overcome each one in the most life-affirming ways. 

“I’m beat and I just want you to myself.” He hooked an arm around Jav’s neck. A four-footed, laughing stumble and a warm buss against Jav’s sideburn, which turned icy cold when Stef took his mouth away. He took Jav’s hand again and they were quiet as they walked, weaving around and through pedestrians. They passed another gay couple coming north. Four chins gave The Nod and eight eyes took silent inventory. 
Brothers, well met. 
Hail, brothers. 
All is well tonight? 
All is well. 
So may it be with you. 
Go in peace and pride. 
Be safe.

​Yes, there is a lot of sex between these covers. But peel back all of the superficial layers and what you have is a true love story.  One where love truly wins.  Every single time…

You are my greatest story. And I love nothing the way I love you.
