Boys of Perfection #1
Paperboy
Welcome to Perfection, California. The year is 1961. The picket fences are white, the lawns are green, and the sprinklers are shiny and new. But they’re not the only things spurting high into the summer air.
Because behind every closed door in Perfection, there’s a perfect ass, including that of Clark, Perfection’s 18-year-old paperboy, who on his last day in town before leaving on a Greyhound bus for Harvard, delivers more than just the news—
—thanks to the help of the town’s dashing, silver-haired dentist and his retractors—
—followed by the town’s handsome Chief of Police, his Deputy and a pair of handcuffs—
—followed by the burly, bear-hugging owner of the local hardware store who, with the help of Clark and a few other close buddies, gets to test out that new swinging contraption in his workshop.
Yes, this paperboy is destined to leave Perfection... with a smile on his perfect face.

Perfection, California. In 1961 no less. Really? From the moment I realized that was the setting of this short story, or rather the whole series, I started to smile. Then I read the blurb, and began to grin. And as soon as I had made it to page seven and the, ahem, golf instructions, I laughed out loud, and didn’t really stop until the end. In a great piece of “pure p*rn” meets "hilarious entertainment", this is the tale of eighteen-year-old Clark and his series of good-byes before leaving Perfection for the rigors of college.
Clark may take his job of delivering papers seriously, but it quickly became quite obvious to me that he takes “customer service” even more serious. He also seems to have some favorite customers, and those are the ones I got to see in more detail. First, the dentist (never mind that he’s married) and the dentist’s chair – and no, I will never look at another one of those in the same way. Then there is the chief of police, who insists he examine some minor scrapes (yeah, right) Clark got when the chief’s dog made him tumble off the delivery bike. Yep, handcuffs are used in an entirely non-lawful way and, oh, did I mention the deputy has a hand in all of it as well? *shakes head at those lusty Californians* And finally, after a refreshing glass of iced tea, there is the owner of the hardware store (also married but seemingly oblivious of that fact during this encounter) who tests his – you will never believe it – new Hawaiian sling on Clark. Yes, well, that is what he calls it… And he is assisted by a few others… By this point, I was wondering if anyone was not in on this good-bye ceremony of the sexy kind.
If you’re looking for something serious or even a plot, this is not the book for you. But if you want to be thoroughly entertained, or need a good laugh, and if you’re looking for a very hot and very funny fantasy of what it might be like to be the paperboy in Perfection, California, then you will probably enjoy this short story. Oh, and let me tell you, the ending shows even more perfection…

Okay, so sometimes I find myself reading a book strictly because I need it in order to complete a challenge. Such is the case here. I needed a book about a bear to finish off my October monthly challenge. Bears aren’t really my thing. I’m more of a twink girl myself. I looked through the M/M bookshelves and Listopia lists and couldn’t really find a book that piqued my interest. So plan B is always to go for the shortest one I can find. At 14,388 words, Paperboy was exactly what I was looking for. At least I thought it was.
It started off okay. Kind of a "Leave it to Beaver: M/M Edition". Yes, basically porn with a plot. And I use the term plot loosely. I thought it was kind of cute and cheeky. Clark used words like swell and jeepers. But then it started getting kind of creepy IMO.
Like the town was filled with a bunch of perverts and borderline pedophiles. Yes, Clark was 18, but it still creeped me out. All the older women lusted after him and made inappropriate comments like “I bet that boy’s hung like a horse.”
And then there’s the men. I know it’s meant to be comedy, but it just didn’t work for me.
Dr. Davenport was generally inappropriate, considering he was seducing the paperboy while his wife was at church, but nothing too outrageous.
Then we get to Police Chief Channing who thinks nothing of taking Clark’s virginity bareback (YES, BAREBACK!) in the shower, using soapy water as lube (ouch!), while having a threesome with Deputy Lawrence.
Then we finally get to the bear (and the whole reason I’m reading this book!) Mr. Harris is the owner of the hardware store. He gets 18-year-old Clark drunk and then proceeds to have sex with him while he’s rigged up in some sex swing. Oh and he invites a few of his friends to join in. WTF? The whole thing was ridiculous.

Pretty much an 18 year old Dennis the Menace goes cock crazy story. Pure porn without any real plot.

"Paperboy" is not really a romance novella and more of a series of short stories. The writing was a little strange at times (on purpose?) and the whole thing has a surreal feel to it, but it's a quick enjoyable read.

Pure, unadulterated erotica. Every stop gets hotter!

What a fun naughty little read.
I’ve not read anything by Geoffrey Knight that I haven’t loved and even though this was completely different from anything else ( 5 on the hotness scale) that I’ve read by him it still was wonderful.
The details and feelings that Mr. Knight has you feeling as Clark rides his bike delivering for the last time the papers for his perfect neighbors is amazing. You can almost see these women tittering when Clark passes them saying hello. And don’t get me started on when the men invite him in for a cold drink. The passions of the moment is wow, I need a cold drink afterwards.
All these sets up for a great experience for when Clark gets to college and finds the perfect roommate.
