Ooooookay! NOW WE’RE TALKING!

This is the perfect novella.

Sexual tension.
Confused feelings.
Mind games.
Dysfunction.
Underlying romance.
Not-so-innocent bystanders.
Great one-liners.
Cooking!

Way to come through at the 11th hour, Manna Frances. I was about to give up. But, alas, my GR peeps did not let me down either…they all pushed me forward to Pancakes and here I am!

I loved both Warrick (duh) AND Toreth (shock-the-hell-outta-me) in this book! Warrick no longer is the wuss I was worried he’d b

OMFG... Loved this short with our two beloved protagonists Warrick and Toreth...



Toreth turns up on Warricks doorstep blind drunk at 3am ~ and pancakes for breakfast turn into something very different for them both!

They are confused and scared of their emotions, do we actually see a little glimpse of vulnerability from Toreth? He wants Warrick but the feelings are alien to him... Can he let go of his steely resolve and actually care? Mmm... this is Toreth the man-whore!!

Look who just spotted Toreth.....


This short story, Pancakes, is part of book 2 of the Administration series by Manna Francis, Quid Pro Quo, but it's so much delicious goodness bundled into only 37 pages, that it completely deserves being mentioned separately on ŷ.

If you've read Mind Fuck and couldn't wait to find out how the relationship between these guys would develop, you're in for a treat. Toreth as well as Warrick are quite the characters and Pancakes completely focuses on their rel

I LOVE MANNA FRANCIS! Yes, those are shouty letters. No passing fad or school-girl crush here. Francis swept me off my fucking feet with pancakes of all things. :)

I loved every single word of this story.

From a drunken Toreth mess to warm, intimate morning sex. Something changed and shifted in Warrick and Toreth’s “regular fuck� relationship, which pleasantly surprised one and terrified the other.

“Shh. Just…shh.�

The emotional hit to my heart of a running, fleeing Toreth--so terrified of his feel

I loved loved loved this short story. It is beyond delicious. Amazingly emotional and erotic and a little angsty, with the tiniest touch of lightness and romance.

I already liked Warrick. Very very much. Toreth? It's official. I've fallen for him hook, line, and sinker.

This, THIS is where the hook caught and dragged me in.
The turning point here was crucial.
Loved it then...loved it now.



If you can't stand the heat...Get out of the kitchen!

Who would think that pancakes would be topped with so much purpose?
Well, Toreth I suppose there is hope for you after all...
what is that...
"Toreth felt a twist of something tight and angry in his gut."
and then...
"For a moment, he felt a flutter of something like panic starting."
yes, Toreth..that is called your hea

Here is a word I thought I'd never use in a sentence with Toreth: adorable. In this story Toreth appear to be so very human - even vulnerable. He has a weakness that he doesn't want to admit to himself, so he runs the other way... and fast.

We learn a lot about Warrick in this short story. Things that make him even more loveble in my eyes. He is a fascinating mix of power and tenderness. He is very smart and that is going to be a big help for him when dealing with Toreth. And who in his/her right

I didn't remember this was actually the first short after two massive worldbuilding novella's. I feel thrown in the deep end a bit brusquely. my heart quickly catches up as we see them thwirl thwirl...closer and closer.

I never noticed how strong Warrick was the first time around. i was so focused on Toreth, feels like i cut W short cause Keir is the rock, the strong force that drags Toreth in. aww so sweet a story...so cute the tentative steps Toreth allows himself. bless them








I actually prefer

Smiling widely.

Very satisfying.

I think the cat's name should be Toreth.

There was something else. Something important. Oh, yes. "'S all your fault."



...she proved a very effective distraction from the things he wasn't going to think about anyway. lol




Rage. This story made me so very angry. And didn't fully make up for that. I don't want to explain, I'm not sure if I could.
One thing I'm sure about - I'm a Toreth girl.
