Joe

Drawing Straws #2

by Sean Michael

Damon, Erik, Tork and Joe are back again for another wild weekend together where they can all let go and really be themselves.

Just because they’ve left their jobs and lives behind though, doesn’t mean that they’ve left their baggage behind, too. Joe’s had a really rough week and to everyone’s surprise, fixes the draw so he gets the sub straw.

Can Damon, Erik and Tork help Joe deal with his troubles and send him home on Monday feeling ready to take on the world again?

About the author

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago."

A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys.

Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

Smut... that's what this is. Well, this does have a little more story than the first book. Now we're getting to know the guys a little bit better and I'm really looking forward to the next story. I hope it's Damon's turn to pick the short straw. Although, maybe he should be last.

Can't wait for the next straw...

Well, hell. I didn’t expect to get emotionally invested in a book of smut. Dammit, Damon pulled at my heart.

Definitely lots of sexy and hot times going on in this novella. I liked that we got to know these guys more and I’m looking forward to the next.

Cops, detectives, and anyone else involved in law enforcement have to be on guard all the time. Personal lives take a back burner and what they can have is somewhere between difficult and impossible. In this series, four men have taken a unique approach to these problems, not to mention they are gay, which makes everything even more complicated. They have secret get-togethers once a quarter, where they can relax and catch up with themselves and each other. One of the four gets to submit each time, having the other three's focus on him for an entire weekend. Since none of them submit easily (or would do so voluntarily, I suspect) they draw straws.

At the end of my review for the first book in this super hot series I mentioned my hope for a novel about the four men since I was curious about their unique relationship and wanted to find out more. Instead it looks as though there will be a mini-series, with one man the focus of each novella. In this second installment, it is Joe’s turn. He’s had it particularly rough lately, so he makes sure he draws the short straw—and they are off.

When the unexpected hits and Damon (their resident “geek”) has to reveal a secret he has kept, tempers flare and the guys’ emotions are all over the place. It becomes obvious pretty quickly that they are truly in love with each other as they pull together to help Damon as much as they can. I loved to see that side of them as it made them all a lot more real.

If you're looking for tough cops finding ways to decompress, if you enjoy stories with lots of man-on-man-on-man-on-man action, and if you're looking for a read that is hot and deeply touching as the men deal with a catastrophe of the personal kind, then you will probably like this novella. It promises much for the next volume in this series!

okkkkkk.. not what I was expecting.. We are definitely moving into more storyline along with lots of sex. Kind of unfair to raise the stakes and then have to wait for the next book to see the progression.

I kind of wonder why they don't live together in one place. There's no mention of how far apart their respective jobs are or same town different districts, we are just left wondering.. those that think about these things anyways.

Back to the now...I really didn't find Joe to be a great bottom. He didn't seem to need to be pushed like Erik did and then stuff with Damon kind of over shadowed him, especially near the end. Of course, I would certainly like to know what the next chapter would bring between them and looking forward to Tork's turn to be it.

I loved this story and this series but that is nothing new since I've loved all the books I've read by this author. Sean Michael does a terrific job creating strong, sexy, alpha males who have a tender side underneath it all. I love the strong bond and friendship between these four characters and the sex scenes are smoking hot. I like that they are able to talk to each other when there's a problem and they'll do anything for one another. In the course of this story, we learn Damon is going through a major crisis and I cannot wait for the next book in this series to see what happens next.

Still a hot bed of sex but with so much more to this story!!
Loved that we are getting more from these sexy cops.
Cant wait for more again. Damon has so much going on and all the men just want to support him through! This should make for a great next book!!

Once again the guys are meeting for the weekend and while there is still lots of hot sex this time things also take a more serious turn. We are seeing more of the relationship and they now have any more to hold them together.
