Product Description

Product Description

“Stranger In Translation” by Charles Raines.

An opinionated young linguist signs a six month contract to translate a ‘Bestseller’ from English into French, on the condition that he can do the job in France. He has nothing but contempt for the book’s author, hates the dull, routine work he has to do, and despises the banality of his own life. Something is missing. Hesitant and frustrated, his ambivalent sexual desires are untapped, but always bubbling below the surface. Feeling like an outsider, the only way to cope is to find a distraction, try to blend in, and strive to fully embrace the French way of life.
The local cemetery offers shelter and serenity, and the backstreets of Marseilles offer danger and excitement. Balancing the two, he meets a succession of men and has a series of erotic encounters which gradually mould him into exactly the man he secretly always wanted to be.

NB. This Novella contains explicit descriptions of erotic and sexual situations in m/m romance. Mature readers only.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! 9 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This author is going places.

A wonderful story set in an idyllic place. France. I was taken in from the first few pages and loved following through with the characters translation of 'the bestseller'. On the whole the story contained everything needed to keep anyone hooked. Great writing, fun, love and laughter. It is a bit on the 'naughty' side, but so what. We all need a little love and lust and anyone who says they don't is lying...

My favourite of all your books so far. :)

Fantastic job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy erotica! 21 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Balancing the bustling and vibrant atmosphere of the south of France with the dangerously magnetic and attractive seedier side of life in the backstreets, Stranger In Translation is a compelling tale of classy erotica. Written in just the right style to compliment the story, Charles Raines takes us by the hand and leads us through a journey of sensual exploration. From the excitement of innocent flirtation, through the raw lust of physical sexual attraction, to the meaningful sentiments and expression of love between two men, Raines writes visual stimulation which will be hard to forget. Filled with humour, pathos and thrills, this one did it for me, and that's why I'm highly recommending it to you!
