In Perfect Stranger, Robert comes to Jordan's rescue in a mall parking lot then ravishes him in a department store changing room. It's lust at first sight. In Foreign Relations, Jesse gets some extra credit from a hot Swedish grad student. They have their own international incident right in the Laundromat.
Jack Greene loathes author bios, thinking they ruin the mystery. But if you must, picture a handsome twenty-something insomniac: junior partner in a law firm by day, guitarist in a punk band by night. He roams the streets on his Ducati when he can't sleep, gathering material for his books, and watches the sun come up over West Hollywood as he types away at his laptop. Peace only comes when he writes the words "the end".
Jack writes about men who fuck, and love, other men. Men who, like all men, sometimes don't behave like they should.
Binary 2: Perfect Strangers and Foreign Relations is a two story anthology written by the same author Jack Greene. It is a short novella that consists of two very short stories. Both stories consist of pretty young men being attracted and slightly dominated by big masculine heroes.
Perfect Strangers Jordan must go to the mall and buy some dress pants. He ends up having a conflict with a big burly man over a parking spot. When a handsome man comes to Jordan’s rescue, he is immediately attracted to him, but because Jordan afraid of rejection he keeps his attraction to himself and both men part ways. Later, while Jordan is trying on pants, he runs into the handsome rescuer again in the dressing room. To Jordan’s delight, the man, Robert, seduces him in the dressing room where they have sex in the dressing room stall and then later at Roberts house.
Foreign Relations Jesse thought it was going to be another boring Geology Lab class until the teaching assistant and grad student, Eric, walked in the door. Not only was Eric masculine, muscled and sexy, his Swedish accent captivated Eric from his first spoken word. Although Eric is attentive to Jesse’s questions, he is with everyone else, too. Jesse soon starts to believe that Eric is straight, so he decides to keep his infatuation to himself. One late night, Jesse goes to a laundry mat and runs into the handsome Eric. The men soon start talking and realize that they are both gay and attracted to one another. They end up having sex at the laundry mat and end up deciding that they should continue their romance at Eric’s house.
I really liked both stories. Both stories had the pretty small man gets the big handsome hunk for heroes, which admittedly I thoroughly enjoy. All the heroes were likable and the sex scenes were pretty erotic. I liked that even though each story had a Happy For Now ending, there still was the promise of their relationships becoming something more serious in their future. They were both quick, erotic and fun filled reads, and I hated to see them both end.
Another fast read with insane amount of chemistry from Jack Greene. The romance is hot and steamy, and the characters are engaging and vividly imagined.
