This is the first of a group of tales that will eventually comprise a collection of gay erotica focusing on slightly off-beat pairings. Dane Deenam, a pudgy Black boy from a rich family, wants to spend the summer after he graduates from highschool being a maid to Nigel Greenwood, a White construction worker from Britain.
Weird...I loved the style of writing, but I just couldn't get into the story. The characters -- with the exception of the mother -- were two-dimensional and unsympathetic and I very nearly gave up on this whole thing half-way through. The stars are for the author's voice, which was beautifully developed, rather than for the story itself.
