I read the samples at B&N. The ebooks are $12.95 each, which is way above my limit for any book, but had they been cheaper I would have done so. I don't feel one can speak accurately on something they aren't familiar with, so I got as familiar as I could within my budget.
I can't know for sure because of only reading the samples, but based on the summary and the sample content, neither of them glorify rape in the sense that some here are claiming. In fact, one's more about how anger can destroy you, the other seems to be about a jerk that gets his butt handed to him after years of using people. I'd say that there's actually a morality tale buried in there, and the gay erotica genre-izing was done to hit the niche market. I could be wrong, but unless someone buys them for me or they go on sale I'll never know.
