Roommates
Omar and Rock Hardwood share an apartment in Atlanta, the Black Gay capitol. Omar is the goody two-shoes young college student and a member of "Rebirth" Baptist Church headed by Pastor Daddy Longlegs. Rock Hardwood is his stripper roomie. Despite being so-called opposites, the young men seem to always wind up in some very erotic hijinks in their tiny apartment. Of course Omar plays the innocent. You get your chance to determine who's leading who to the bedroom as you "eavesdrop" on their hot conversations.

An Excerpt:
“I speak the truth about me also.”
“Yeah like when you walk into my room late at night just wearing a towel.”
“I have the decency to put on something. I got up to get a drink of water. I heard your music playing and asked if you wanted a drink. I’m not like you darting through the house butt naked or standing on the patio in the wee hours of the morning butt naked smoking that stuff, or greeting your visitors at the door butt naked, or cooking butt naked. Some hot grease is going to pop you down there and make you wish you had worn an apron.”
“You sure know all the times I’m naked. I think you got a cam in here.”
“I have no such thing.”
“I know when you naked too.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Like when you tip into my room late at night and stand there watching me breathe.”
“Nigga, please. You must be dreaming.”
“I made you say “nigga.” You got a little bit of street dog in you.”
“I am a Christian and proper young man.”
“When you take your clothes off to clean my room and lay on my bed right in the middle of my funk--is that proper?”
“I do no such thing.”

Available for free on Prolific Works here.
This was just dialogue and lazy writing. Sure it's erotica but there's better written erotica literally anywhere.

Awful
This book could have had potential but there was LITERALLY no plot. Just two roommates f buddies where one Omar was getting pimped out by roommate Rock and then that weird ass ending that is supposed to be a happily ever after. I admit it was funny because it was so bad, but it was a bummer that the book seemed to jump from random sex scenes between the characters to actual dialogue that tried to carry the story. It didn't fit. It was like the sex scenes were written in advance and then the main parts of the story were written at random times. So terrible.

Roommates is gay erotica that is satirical with a bit blasphemy. It's a sexy read and at times quite humorous. Those looking for a M/M romance should not look here. This isn't for everyone. It IS well done and quite memorable. Charles W. Harvey knows his stuff.
