Onslaught of Teh Gay Erotic Historical Fiction!

Couple of months ago, I got this book in the mail:

More completely gay book stuff after the jump!

Here's the description on the back of the book, ellipses intact, bolding mine:

Closer than Brothers ...
1642, England
David Caverly's father has brought home a young man, the quiet, Puritanical Jonathan Graie, to help his dreamer of a son work the family forge.
Though his father treats the young men as if they were brothers, David's reaction to the handsome stranger is anything but familiar ... until the fateful moment when David is given the opportunity to escape his father's influence, and has to leave Jonathan behind.
Eager to experience the drama and excitement of the civil war raging through the country, the free-spirited David begins to lead a forbidden life, unaware that Jonathan too has left the forge ...
Lost and lonely, th vulnerable Jonathan quickly falls in with a group of religious extremists who travel from town to town searching for evidence of witchcraft. Finally embracing a cause for truth so wholeheartedly, and desperate to put the shameful memories of his passion for David behind him, Jonathan doesn't recognize the danger — physical and emotional — that his new friends represent. For the fanatics are desperate to purge Jonathan of his memories of David in any manner possible ...

I offered it up to anyone who wanted it. I packaged it up but didn't send it off. And soon after, I received this one:

Back blurb:

Turblent Times
1662, The Georgian Age of Sail

For his first command, John Cavendish is given both a ship — the HMS Meteor — and a crew in need of repair. He's determined to make a success of their first mission, though, and hopes the well-liked Lieutenant "Alfie" Donwell will stand by his side as he leads his new crew into battle: stopping the slave trade off the coast of Algiers.
Alfie knows that with a single ship and and untried crew, their mission is futile, and that their superiors back in England will use their demise as means for war with the Ottoman Empire. But the darker secret he keeps is his growing attraction for his new commanding officer — a secret punishable by death.
With the arrival of this former captain — and lover - on the scene of the disastrous mission, Alfie is torn between the security of his past and the uncertain promise of a future with the straight-laced John.
Against a backdrop of war, intrigue, piracy, and personal betrayal, the high seas will carry these men through dangerous waters from England to Africa, from the Arctic to the West Indies in search of a safe harbor.

I thought this one needed to join its ... brethren? ... in the package. So both went on their merry way to a reader who will be more able to enjoy their contents, and more able to perform a splendidly precise analysis of their meaning, than I.

Came into work today, and guess what? Got 'em both again, from the publisher.*

Who wants them? Let me know: suzi at eugeneweekly dot com. They are really, really yours. Hott Gay Blacksmith Love During a Civil War? The Lieutenant Torn Between Two Captains? Take and enjoy! I feel sure I'll get more copies of these or other M/M (see? it's on the cover! That's what they're calling 'em!) books soon.

*Also the publisher of that f$%(in' Skinny Bitch crap. Hunh.
