Read from May 21 to 22, 2014 — I own a copy

This is one astounding romance, full of eroticism, deep and many times dark emotions, where the feelings are depicted in achingly and excruciatingly heartfelt detail...  if you are looking for a cupcake, overly sweet and full of fluffy frosting, this is not. This is the "seven sins chocolate cake", sophisticated, decadent, dark and a bit sweet as well... This is a book that at times, will make you consider the need to refresh your knickers and at other times, reach for a Xanax... or ten. It's an absolutely fascinating story, wholly recommended and worth it.

NINE out of TEN for Dangerously Happy from RAINBOW GOLD REVIEWS

"Dangerously Happy is easily the hottest book I’ve ever read. The sex scenes are amazing!  . . . The sex is very graphic, even brutal sometimes, and yet I couldn’t get away from the sensuality of it . . . But it isn’t just about the sex. The sex is there because the characters need it to be able to deal with emotional stuff . . .I loved the raw emotion behind every word, every gesture, every thought . . . I absolutely loved this book, and can’t wait to read more from Varian Krylov! "

This is so beautifully written, such emotion, such patience,so much love. The characters were real, but instead of flesh and bone, there was doubt and fear, hunger and need. As you read you feel all of them. Wonderful story.

This is not your average straight guy and gay guy fall in love story. This is a story about expanding horizons and growing into stronger people together as well as helping each other to heal from some mind blowing trauma. I was totally engrossed in the journey and enjoyed traveling with Dario and Aiden on their way to each other.

Boys in Our Books reviews Dangerously Happy

Krylov expertly plays with out-of-your-comfort-zone subjects that not everyone will fancy. But those who love their darker fare and mind fuckery will be thrilled to be able to plunge into Dangerously Happy. This new book doesn’t touch upon the scariest taboos that are out there though. In fact, it starts out as a deliciously tender gay for you story that combines all the tasty ingredients that come with the trope: the quiet lusting, confusing emotions, blushes, cherry popping and sweet angst . . GFY lovers, get in line! And if shy anal virgins aren’t reason enough to lean back and sigh, the narrator’s voice, his emotions, seemed so realistic to me, that it almost felt as if Krylov plucked my own thoughts out of my head and wrote them down. So different from stories in which you have to suspend disbelief when the plot is pushed forward by TSTL MCs who dwell in silly misunderstandings . . . Sweet and endearing as the beginning may be, Dangerously Happy doesn’t remain a cotton candy fest as the plot slowly shifts to dark secrets and past traumas . . .

FIVE STAR Review for Dangerously Happy from Louis Stevens


5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story that draws you in from the first chapterMay 22, 2014
This review is from: Dangerously Happy (Kindle Edition)
Solid 5 stars!

Lord help me this was a beautiful story. Varian's narrative voice draws you in from the get-go.

Dario is by far one of the most intriguing characters in Dangerously Happy and I enjoyed that Varian made you work for it to get to know him, shedding him layer by layer until you feel like you are inside his mind, even though the point of view character is the delectably and adorably inexperienced Aidan.

There were definite tender moments that forced you to look into the depths of human nature and there were sexy moments a plenty.

His shyest, happiest smile. "Aidan, love. I want you to live with me. I want us to share our lives with each other."
"Me too."
Another night of endless lovemaking.

I also enjoyed the dynamics between the two MCs, where you're never 100% sure which character assumes which role in the relationship (strict btm / top) which is always a refreshing challenge to me who personally like to place characters squarely into boxed labels (far too much).

The mystery element of the story adds to the build up of tension that Varian crafts throughout the story and I enjoyed some of the cringeworthy awkward moments during the MC's coming out scenes. It makes me wonder just how the author is able to relate to the struggles that every guy faced with coming out has to eventually face, since she does it with a great sense of realism.

To top it all off, the ending leaves you satisfied, even though you're not ready to say goodbye to Varian's leading men yet.

FIVE STAR REVIEW for Dangerously Happy


5.0 out of 5 stars Dark needs are made of this....May 22, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dangerously Happy (Kindle Edition)
This is one astounding romance, full of eroticism, deep and many times dark emotions, where the feelings are depicted in achingly and excruciatingly heartfelt detail. It starts easily enough with a little tryst between a straight man, Aidan and Dario, a gay writer and the owner of a commune art space when people gather during the weekends to showcase their art and listen to underground bands. Aidan is the lead singer of one of these bands but at the same time holds a regular corporate job. After a bumpy start, when they split for a couple of months after A does something quite stupid, they settle in a fledging, budding relationship. Aidan feels like waking up, at last, after a life conforming to others' expectations, and they begin to explore what they have. But nothing is so easy. They must deal with serious trouble in the communal place and worst, it brings back an episode from Dario's dark and traumatic past. I will not reveal more of the plot, but let me tell you, the writing is so very intense. The story delves into the intricate, many sided aspects of BDSM, it's psychological and emotional needs and reasons.
As I said, at the beginning seems to be another GFY romantic sexy story but soon enough develops in ways not so your regular romance that can be uncomfortable for some readers of the m/m genre. To make myself clear: if you are looking for a cupcake, overly sweet and full of fluffy frosting, this is not. This is the "seven sins chocolate cake", sophisticated, decadent, dark and a bit sweet as well. Eaten with the best of champagne.
There are kinks galore, an MFM threesome, another MMM, just to mention something. The book, for moments, can be quite overwhelming as Dario & Aidan explore their love. their psyches, their sexual life. There was a moment in the interaction between the 2 MC and a third part that I actually felt Aidan's anxiety, my hands were trembling, my heart was hammering, I truly felt with him.
This is a book that at times, will make you consider the need to refresh your knickers and at other times, reach for a Xanax... or ten. It's an absolutely fascinating story, wholly recommended and worth it. Usually, I avoid to read books that have threesomes and /or kinky plays, I find them unbelievable or just silly porn smut. But I never felt I was given porn while reading Dangerously happy, not at all.
Finally, a recommendation: Don't read it while in public transportation or in company... unless it's a very very naughty company :-)

This review is from: Dangerously Happy (Kindle Edition)
Anyone that try's to tell you this is anything but a love story missed the point of this book BIG TIME. This is a love story of epic proportions. The passion, romance, love and lust here sets this book on fire, even more than the incredible cover. This is one of the best romances I have read in years and I could have read a hundred more pages. I can highly recommend this is all lovers of gay romance fiction.

5 STARS from ADRIENNE WILDER for Dangerously Happy


5.0 out of 5 stars Hot enough to burnMay 21, 2014
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dangerously Happy (Kindle Edition)
Not many writers can create beautiful angst and tension with romance in its purest form. Dangerously Happy does just that. The sex is beautiful, smoking hot, and builds the plot into a crescendo of emotional challenges between two lovers. You accompany both main characters on their journey to self discovery experiencing their personal struggles and glorious victories. An excellent read, that I highly recommend!
But some advice before you sit down with this book---make sure you're wearing flame retardant underwear. Not even a cold shower is enough to bank the heat on this one.

5 STARS: RECOMMENDED READ from multitaskingmomma

[Krylov's] talent for the descriptive word is simply amazing. The thoughts and feelings of each and every individual character in this book... were... treated with such intimacy. This is an overwhelming book. The level of raw eroticism reached was more than I had ever encountered before. Dangerously Happy does not read like an ordinary romance/erotic novel. There were just so many layers: from the obviously highly erotic sexual content which ranged from vanilla, to consensual BDSM, morphing into rough sex to fulfill a fantasy, all the way to the psychological and emotional angst each man carried as baggage. It was heartbreaking and real and raw. Very, very raw. I am just astounded by this work. I cannot recommend this more, especially for those who want to read quality work."

Dangerously Happy EXPLICIT EXCERPT: Dario and Aidan invite Vera into their bed

Dario pressed his chest and belly to my back, and her heavily mascaraed green eyes followed Dario’s hand to my cock, which he cupped and squeezed again before saying, “Aidan’s dick got hard when he thought about you getting off to the sound of us fucking.”
Yes, I was blushing again. But the way she smiled, I also realized that she was in and that Dario had probably known already what her reaction to our invitation was going to be. She strutted over like an expert coquette and cupped her own hand over Dario’s, and the change in pressure over my hard-on, the subtle friction, just about pulled all the air out of my lungs and sent a surge of blood to my cock.
“Is that true, Aidan?” she teased.
Nothing to lose, now. “Yes.”
“Should I go back downstairs, then, so you two can get started?” she asked.
Those green eyes fixed on mine, awaiting my answer. Waiting. Waiting.
“Aidan,” Dario murmured by my ear, but loud enough that I’m sure Vera heard him, “don’t be rude. Give Vera a kiss so she feels welcome.”
I don’t know how, but looking at her, at those meticulously made-up green eyes, I knew that’s what she wanted me to do. I brought my mouth to hers, paused for a moment in case I was wrong, in case she wanted to dodge my kiss, then touched her lips with mine. And then we really kissed. And all the while, Dario kept his body pressed against mine.
Then Dario said, “Do you want to share?” and for a second I thought he was talking to me, but then he said, “Or do you want him all to yourself?”
Smudged lipstick smile. “I was raised to play well with others. I don’t mind sharing.”
Dario coaxed, “Give her another kiss, love.”
When Vera and I merged into another hot, wet kiss, Dario started mouthing my neck, and the thrill of those two simultaneous sensations already had me trembling and whimpering. We played and fucked for hours. Vera was deliciously greedy, insatiable, inexhaustible. I think she came five times.
When I woke up, Vera was in the shower and Dario was lying next to me, hands laced behind his head, staring up at the ceiling. I was instantly filled with dread that we’d crossed a line the night before. That I’d been too caught up in my pleasure, in the thrill of what we were doing, and I’d somehow let Dario get hurt. But then he noticed I was awake, turned to me with a look of contentment, a look of love, and gave me a soft, lingering kiss.
“Did you enjoy yourself last night,” he whispered.
“God, yes. Did you?”
“Thoroughly. So much so, I was just lying here scheming about how we can most enjoy the rest of Vera’s visit.” A deep, tender kiss. “Why don’t you go take your shower while I make breakfast.”
“Sounds like Vera’s still in there,” I said.
“Yes it does,” he said with a suggestive grin.
I laughed, nervous, awkward. Playing, the three of us, was one thing. Him sending me off to screw his friend while he cooked for us felt like something else. “I’d rather be here. With you.”
Sweet smile. “Go on, love. Enjoy Vera while she’s here. In a couple days she’ll be gone. And you and I will still be here. Just like always.”
When I knocked, Vera chimed her, “Come in” in a playful sing-song, and when I opened the bathroom door, she gazed at me through the shower glass, unabashedly or possibly even exhibitionistically shampooing her hair, putting her wet body on perfect display.
“Whatcha got there?” she asked, looking at my hand. Suddenly walking in there with condoms seemed obnoxiously presumptuous. But I made myself open my hand and show her. “And where’s Dario?” she asked, rinsing the shampoo from her dark hair while the suds cascaded over her gleaming skin. Without any makeup, her hair wet and plastered over her scalp, she looked like a different person. Like the wholesome cousin of the girl I’d fucked in front of Dario the night before.
“Making breakfast.”
“Oooh. Pancakes, I hope. He makes the best pancakes.”
For minutes she wouldn’t let me kiss her or touch her. She got a handful of shower gel and slowly moved her hands over me, inch by inch, her big, green eyes locked on mine at first, then sometimes following, sometimes anticipating the soapy swaths down my arm, across my chest, down my belly. It was sexy as hell, watching her watch as she wrapped her frothing fist around my turgid cock and slowly stroke, watching her turn her gaze up and look at me while she worked me up to a pitch of desperate need, still not letting me touch or kiss. And then that little mocking grin as she abandoned my cock and went back to bathing me, taking her goddam sweet time, lathering my calves, my thighs, teasing my balls, turning me toward the wall and palming, caressing, squeezing my ass in both hands, then slipping her soapy fingers between my cheeks. I don’t know why that startled me so much.
She laughed, a pretty, lilting giggle. “Really? You’re shy about having your ass touched? And you’re with Dario?”
“I don’t know. It’s different with you.”
“Is it?” she said in a breathy, teasing voice she used now and then. Then she slid a finger into my asshole. Oh God. Oh fuck. “I wish I had a cock so I could put you on your knees and fuck you, Aidan.”
We settled for me sinking to the shower floor and her straddling and riding me through three climaxes before she finally let me come, begging, grabbing, bracing my feet and my back against facing walls and flexing to thrust up into her.
I was still inside her when she asked, “Are you in love with him?” It should have felt strange, that question, under those circumstances, but for some reason it didn’t.
“Yes.”
When she smiled like that, now that her lips weren’t painted starlet red, she looked incredibly young. “Very much in love with him?”
“Yes.”
“Good. I’ve never seen him this happy. That sadness he’s always had, that he’s always trying to escape or mask, hardly shows while he’s around you.”
When I got back to the loft after work that night, Dario was alone, and unusually intense. As soon as I walked in the door he was on me, kissing me hungrily, pulling me hard against him, practically clawing at me. “Come upstairs,” he panted. “I have a surprise for you.”
Even after our marathon session of incredible firsts the night before, I was shocked, maybe even a little frightened by Dario’s surprise. On the bed, Vera was naked. Blindfolded. Gagged. Bound with her arms stretched up overhead and her legs held wide apart by a bar between her ankles. I’ve never seen anyone look so vulnerable, or so lewdly displayed. Her cunt looked so utterly indefensible. And lying between her legs were a pile of condoms, a bottle of lube, two dildos and three ass toys, the sight of which instantly filled my mind with images of her cunt and asshole being penetrated.

In a low, taunting voice Dario said to Vera, “Look, honey. I brought you another friend to play with.” Then he put his hand on my cock, squeezed, and growled loud enough for Vera to hear, “Does this huge hard-on mean you like your surprise?”
