The Full Ride: Bottom Boys Get Play
Does the idea of a naive young buck who can't stop himself from losing his ass turn you on? Or would you rather experience life as a bottom who is every top's fantasy? Through unquenchable lust or uncontrollable need, these are bottom boys who live to please and wouldn't have it any other way. Gavin Atlas, author of the best selling collection, The Boy Can't Help It, offers a second dose of porn stars, college boys, strippers, acrobats, and athletes taken body and soul by business tycoons, cops, mischievous professors, and other dominant men who won't take no for an answer. Your journey through these stories will offer humor, affection, and true devotion, but please stay seated as you're taken deep into the psychology of sexual submission. If you enjoy the dazed confusion of youthful studs helpless to escape the penetration of aggressive, powerful tops, come meet a few who will always grant you the Full Ride.

14 gay erotic stories from one author, Gavin Atlas. Diverse stories including trafficking, college, humiliation, interracial, daddy kink, cowboys, the circus and even pirates on a train. All featuring bottoms and the tops they meet in all shapes, sizes and ages.
I love erotica when it is well written, and this is well written gay erotica that kept my interest throughout. And I just love that cover.

The Cover:
For me the cover is interesting. The curtain makes me feel like a voyeur a bit. Like I am about to get an intimate show and the sexy model on the cover will preform for me. it teases the reader and many will want to discover the erotic tales of the well-built and wanton red-haired guy waiting on the inside ;)
The Title:
‘The Full Ride’ is not just the title of this short story collection, but also of one of the short stories, where a student gives up his ass as requirement to his ‘Full Ride’ to a University with excellent education. I like the word play/ innuendo and the addition ‘Bottom Boys Get Play’ ensures that readers have some idea of what they will find inside ;)
The Narration:
When I listened to the audio sample on Audible, I knew this narration would be different. The narrator has a softer voice than I’m used to, yet the voice is still very seductive. Not as forceful, but perfect to portray the youth and wantonness of the ‘bottom boys’.
I must note, the narration of such diverse stories must be a difficult feat and was well done. The different accents seemed mostly authentic and the narrator differentiated the different main protagonists. While the narrator will not join my personal ‘top narrators’ list, it was refreshing to listen to a fresh and different voice and it fit well with these short stories.
The Story:
As mentioned before, these stories are very diverse and I never knew exactly what to expect. This collection is well written, but I must admit I was uncomfortable with the humiliation play that was part of some of the stories. These are ‘total bottom boy fantasies’, so I’m sure that there are many people who will be even more receptive for this kind of sexual stimulation.
It was interesting, if slightly uncomfortable at times, to get into the heads of these bottom boys. Truth be told, I’ a gay man and bottom as well, but equality between both partners is extremely important to me and I had a hard time to let go of my own needs and tune into these protagonists who want something very different. They desire to be used and dominated, yet want to be cherished. For me, this collection was most effective when the author introduces men who save the ‘bottom boys’ out of abusive or unhealthy situations and show them how it feels to be loved cherished and ‘possessed’ by someone who cares for them.
At times, Gavin Atlas is surprisingly sensitive and delicate when he describes the desires of these young men and the different ways they choose to follow to get what they need. It is a dynamic that is not always socially or morally acceptable, but works well as fantasy that is shared by many and is rarely explored in this way in the books I have previously read.
The stories are often funny or at least fun, effective in their intended purpose: to arouse and in a few cases actually have an interesting twist or plot.
My personal favorite is “Revenge as an Art Form”, which had a great plot and way plain fun. I love when men realize that they should be treated with more respect and stop being used, taking things into their own hands. The way this particular protagonist found his revenge was a lot of fun for me.
The stories range from erotic fantasies that even have magical aspects, to stories about the sort of men we often fantasize about in their ‘natural habitat’ like College students and professors, to even a story set a futuristic version of our world. That one will be the most controversial of the bunch and was at times hard to read and had me worried in the beginning, because I did not want to read a story about rape as entertainment. I could never find enjoyment in that.
Ultimately and surprisingly, it ended up being the story with the most important message: Even if someone desires that someone else takes control of them, it has to be control given freely and the person will deserve pleasure, love and to be cherished. The subject matter had to be approached very carefully and seemed to be a minefield that the author navigated mostly unscathed.
I do not have a lot of experience with erotica stories yet, and my POV is from a person used to explicit romance stories, but I enjoyed this audiobook and thought it was well-written. I can recommend it to people who have ‘total-bottom’ fantasies or want to try something hot and different. Six hours worth of interesting and diverse stories that will try to give you pleasure ;)

The Full Ride: Bottom Boys Get Play by Gavin Atlas.
This is a collection of gay erotica short stories and they are very powerful and amazing so if this genre excites you then watch out as The Full Ride will have you in total ecstasy from the very first line in story one. If the idea of a young guy giving up his ass over and over and can't stop excites you or experience life as a hungry bottom then prepare yourself for some hot and steamy reading. These bottom boys love to please their tops in every which way possible and the tops are very willing to take these bottom boys for their own animal lust. This book of gay erotica stories has the beautiful characters of pornstars, college boys, strippers and athletes taken by cops, rich men and in general very and I mean very dominating men who don't know what NO means.
Gavin has written such beautiful gay erotica stories in this book and I couldn't get enough of his vastly interesting characters and the way he comes up with such great chemistry between these men. I enjoyed his style of brilliant writing where I was glued to each page and praying that the story was not about to end but then the next story was just as beautifully and erotically written. There are too many stories and characters to go through to sit here and write about them but trust me when I say this, they were so amazingly written. My only thing I would tell Mr. Atlas is that he has to write a book about each story as I loved the characters and the scenes so much that I want more of them. The author wrote in such a realistic way and the gay sex scenes were so dead on correct and well researched that any gay man reading them would be relating to them in such a profound way. Some books speak about gay sex but Gavin wrote exactly how gay men have hot passionate sex. When I was reading through these stories and sex scenes, I was thrilled that an author had the guts to write about the real gay sex and not just some misguided romance between men. You will so love reading about the true meaning of pure hot and sensual gay sex and the chemistry they share. I loved the stories too as they were so real and almost every gay man knows these characters or actually is one of these characters.
Here is a list of the stories for you!
-He Could Stop Traffic
-Pink Cowboy Hat
-Revenge as an Art Form
-Welcome to Fair Warning
-The Full Ride
-Fair Trade
-Tanners Tuck-In Service
-Three-Way At the Western
-Daddies in Damian
-And Brawley Threads the Needle
-The Laius league
-Il Circo dei Fiori
-Which Way to Dominance
-Engine of Repression
I highly recommend this book...The Full Ride: Bottom Boys Get Play (Collection of Gay Erotica Stories) to anyone who loves to read about hot gay sex, hot gay men, hot gay scenes and beautifully written characters and brilliantly written stories then this book by Gavin Atlas is most definitely the one for you!!!!!

Very hot collection of stories!

Awesome book. Just my thing. Review coming.

Let's be clear on one thing from the beginning: This is porn! There are no elaborate storylines. Just enough of a story to have something to attach the hot scenes to.
I knew this when I started listening to this book. I expected and wanted steam. Which is why I was kind of disappointed after the first couple of stories. The first one was ok, but then it just got a bit weird and pretty boring. So much so, I had this book on ice for a couple of months.
I picked it up again recently and things changed. Oh my, did they change. There were some insanely hot scenes in some of the next stories (prompting the matching bodily reactions from yours truly!) - 'The Full Ride' probably being my favorite.
So, the stories (or should I just call them porn scenes?) were everything from 'meh' to 'ok' to 'sizzling'. Summed up, I would give the book three stars.
But - I listened to the audio version. Jason Frazier, people. Reading porn! Need I say more? One extra star for the narration.

Overall, I think this was a good collection of short stories. Some I really enjoyed while others I could have done without. However, the writing was enjoyable and the stories I liked were really good!
