A Soldier's First Time 1
22-year-old Luke steps into the sandy world of a war-torn country for a second time, but this tour of duty is unlike any he has ever experienced. With no women to satiate his most primitive needs, he allows a fellow marine to give him a little love. That one, sinful act opens Pandora's Box and plunges Luke into a world he never knew existed.
Keeping his newly discovered love for men under wraps is essential -- having it leak out among his entire platoon would be disastrous. But as Luke finds out, not all is fair in love and war.
This story is 5500 words long.

Not impressed....
Short stories can produce a lot of depth without a lot of prose but this one was just missing something for me. I liked how it ended but I am not too crazy about spending more than $0.99 on the next story in the serial.
I just cannot wrap my head around spending $2.99 on 20 or so pages. That is just ridiculous! Plus most of those pages are just advertisements for other books. I always feel cheated by these serial short stories. Why not just take your time edit and then release the story as a complete full length book and charge $4.99 or $5.99 for it? Your are more likely to develop a loyal fan base and readers will respect you more as an author.
But back to the story...not entirely unrealistic but uncharacteristically accepting. The characters adapt too quickly to their attraction to one another especially Mr. Straight guy Luke. I am so tired of the cliche Trent as well, "typical" strange guy who has never made sense to be a soldier...gay of course because what else would he be and everyone is supposed to be ok with the typical plot.
Surprise me for once!!! Make the super masculine guy the one who is comfortable with being gay and open about it. Authors really have to start thinking outside of their gender roles box.
I will not be buying any more of this series unless they are free or maybe if they finally come all together in a reasonably priced bundle.

It's okay for a freebie, but I won't continue to the next one and mainly because it's a complete rip of!! at £2.24 just for 20 pages umm na not for me...
It's not all bad and I kinda liked the ending but I dunno what was missing because normally when you get these little teasers they make me get the next one but this one just didn't push me enough..
I've been reading these *first time* books but this kinda felt a bit unbelievable, there wasn't enough conflict with the MC, and I get he's been without sex or a female for a long time but it's like he just took it and got on with it *shrugs shoulders* I dunno lol
The sex was good hehe ;)

17 pages .... really!
The whole trilogy is less than 60 pages. I don't appreciate these drug deal, give em a taste, kind of stories. Wow me with your writing and I will comeback begging for more, but do not try to hook me with these shallow, limp, lifeless tidbits and expect me to pay for more. The story has potential, but drop the sample size and give us the real deal.

Believe it or not a series
Very short and straight to the point. Luke bunks with Trent in their Marine platoon. Tired of masturbating every night, Trent decides to take matters into his own hands or mouth.
