About the author

Clare took the pen name London from the city where she lives, loves, and writes. A lone, brave female in a frenetic, testosterone-fuelled family home, she juggles her writing with the weekly wash, waiting for the far distant day when she can afford to give up her day job as an accountant. She's written in many genres and across many settings, with novels and short stories published both online and in print. She says she likes variety in her writing while friends say she's just fickle, but as long as both theories spawn good fiction, she's happy. Most of her work features male/male romance and drama with a healthy serving of physical passion, as she enjoys both reading and writing about strong, sympathetic and sexy characters.
All the details and free fiction are available at her website.
Clare also writes as Stella Shaw, and launched a new series of rent boy romances in 2021.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2024Just like London's With a Kick short I read for my After Holidays Christmas Reads, Smack Happy is a little romantic holiday glimpse into the lives of an established couple that had their story told in Slap and Tickle, book 3 of the series. And once again, I have not read their original journey but I do hope to go back to it this year.
This is just a lovely short about letting go and having fun. Really I don't think I can say more without saying too much so all I will say: If Slap and Tickle is only half as good as Phiz and Bryan's holiday romp in Smack Happy, then I know it'll be a winner because Smack Happy is just so . . . yummy! Another winning & delicious Valentine's treat.

Phiz can’t always control his hyperactivity and propensity for chaos. But he no longer has to feel marginalised because of it, not now he has Bryan for a friend and lover. Bryan’s calm, ordered attitude is the perfect foil for Phiz: and Bryan’s private desire for kink is just what Phiz needs to keep him grounded. This Valentine’s Day, Phiz wants to give Bryan a special gift, but Bryan can’t be tempted away from his work. At least, not until he opens Phiz’s gift and realises love means… taking time away to play.
Authors Note: Bryan and Phiz first met in the book “Slap and Tickle”, one of a series of romance novellas based around the alcoholic ice cream shop in Soho called With A Kick. A joint-authored project with Sue Brown, each story has a self-contained romance, and follows the history of the shop throughout.

Review
Phiz, of 'Smack Happy' by Clare London, is acting a lot like the energizer bunny on speed while he impatiently waits for Bryan to finish his work. Bryan isn't much on presents, but Phiz, so happy to have a Valentine, can hardly wait to show him this very special gift.
Bryan, usually so organized, tries to accommodate Phiz's enthusiasm when he can, but presently, he wants to finish the letter he is working on so he can put aside his work for the evening. After that he will be able to give Phiz his full attention. Bryan tries to ignore Phiz wearing out his floorboards as he paces back and forth. This only serves to slow Bryan down even more because Phiz is a force of nature when he wants something. Phiz rambles on reminding Bryan of how their lives were before they got together and how much they have helped each other; Phiz helping Bryan find his “wilder side” and Bryan helping Phiz reach a modicum of calmness when he needs to slow down and pay attention. Together they have created a “cocoon” of sorts wherein they can love each other in ways that are significant and fulfilling. Finally, Bryan hears Phiz's real reason for seemingly being so annoying - his desire to give back some of the love Bryan has given him, but it's not totally Bryan's pleasure he's got in mind. When Bryan opens the gift, it becomes quite clear that they are going to have a “smack happy” Valentine's evening.
This is a short but touching and amusing Valentine's story for Phiz and Bryan that all fans of the series will enjoy. It could be read alone, but the real significance of the gift and the lovers is lost unless you have read all of the stories and see the connection between Phiz and Bryan before and after their relationship. If you want a clever, entertaining Valentine's tale with two eccentric but wonderful men, you might like this story. Thanks, Clare, for another witty, charming addition to the series. Originally reviewed at Rainbow Book Reviews.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019I have not read this series in order but Phiz and Bryan's story is sexy with a little BDSM going on. This is the 2nd half of their storylIne. Even if it's a short short story the characters are developed nicely.
