Rainbow Reader White: Educating Hayden

Rainbow Reader #7

by Adam Stevens

Rainbow Reader “Educating Hayden” The “Rainbow Reader series” has concluded as a specific timeline. I hope you have enjoyed reading Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple. This short read series was developed as a prequel to the “Moments in Time” series. There is an additional publicly unpublished Rainbow Reader titled “ The Secret Manuscript,” which Amazon deemed unworthy for print because of its underage sexual self-discovery and evolution of an adventurous young boy, Georgie, and is the prequel to “ Awakenings.” If you are interested in reading “ The Secret Manuscript,” it is available for purchase on Paperback only. “ The Secret Manuscript” is priced as a Fundraiser for the Homeless Youth Camp. The sexually seductive stories continue to develop in the Rainbow Reader series as readers continue to comment with questions about characters. This series is no longer specifically about Georgie, nor his particular moments in time. Here is where we begin to spin the story to discover other characters’ lives as they’ve developed along the “Moments In Time” series. Now it’s time to tell the story about their moments in time. The Rainbow Reader “ Educating Hayden” is about two young boys Hayden and Ian. Hayden is a big bad bully, and something has to be done about his rampant accosting and abuse of younger, defenseless innocent boys at his school. Ian was Warren’s first love. Mark was Warren’s second love, and Georgie was the man Warren married for better or for worse. But what ever happened to Ian after that magical summer Warren and Ian discovered each other at the beginning of “Moments in Innocence?” It’s time to find out for yourself. Ian has a secret. Sure, everyone at school knows he is gay, but there is something else his classmates do not know about him. Ian’s parents barely accept his sexuality as perhaps it is something he will grow out of. Ian has not acted on his sexual urges since his summer of sultry sexual self-discovery with Warren the previous summer. Hayden doesn’t have a secret. Hayden is just an abusive, obnoxious bully that needs to be knocked backed down into reality, or submission. But who has the strength and courage at this school to make that happen? If someone hasn’t stepped up and taken that challenge by now, nobody ever will. Yet the teachers and administration make no effort to intervene, Hayden’s dad did build the school library after all. Settle down, bundle up, and enjoy this tasty short read, but beware of the reality of this fictional sexual adventure. There is truth behind every lie. Fiction is a lie, but there is truth behind every lie. Georgie’s 30 year journey spans the entire Rainbow Reader series and can be read in any order. However, for readers interested in following the timeline in complete continuity, the proper reading order for the series begins with the unpublished, “ The Secret Manuscript,” and continues directly into “Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple.” The timeline continues quite chronologically into the three “Moments in Time” novels. Following the three “Moments in Time” novels, the story and timeline then continues to spin off different characters’ timelines in order to give the reader an all-encompassing, comprehensive and truly relative reading experience about the characters’ lives as they all develop individually.

About the author

Writing was Adam's hobby. The voices in his head are constantly battling to get out, often leaving him working on four or five different books at once. He can't help but write. When he discovered he was actually good at writing, it became a full time passion that often interrupts his full time gig Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Along with his writing addiction he has a serious caffeine addiction. Some nights, the only reason he stops writing and goes to sleep is for the fresh brewed coffee in the morning. Teaching English in China, there are serious challenges living in a rural seaside holiday resort to find good coffee.

As an Author, Adam Stevens skillfully writes with a relevant, compelling and believable ability to articulate the emotional context of each character. He will captivate and engage you, in an addictive manner that will make you yearn for the next paragraph, page, chapter, and book.

As a Gay Romance Novelist, he has a brilliant magic with words that will draw you into his works with an almost addictive seduction. Each characters personality jumps off the page and into your heart.

2.5

I did not read the synopsis going into this book. I was just reading this book in order. So going into this book I was confused.

I did not know I was supposed to stop and start those Moment In Time books before reading this book.
I don't know. why do that? When this series was all about George from book 0 to book 6.
Everything Kind of felt abrupt.
This was just so weird.

I got to be honest here. I stopped reading the synopsis in this series.
1. they were long and
2. they basically said the same thing over and over.
So I just skipped it and read them in the order according to goodreads.

I honestly feel that those moments in time books should be added in those rainbow books order. Why separate them like that?

This story starts of pretty hot... But once the whole spy thing came up. I pretty much checked out. I could not take this story seriously.
Yes.. The threesome was ok. But I just couldn't fully love this book.

The 99 cent Quickie Rainbow Reader series has been most rewarding to write. It is almost magical how thoughts turn into words, and they turn into pages, and finally a story is created. I hope you enjoy reading Educating Hayden as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Loved reading about Ian and what happened to him after his summer with Warren which I read about in the Moments in Time-Innocence, book 3 in the Moments in a Time series. I’m hoping his story will continue and I’m curious if he’ll cross paths with Warren again or even Georgie, time will tell. I feel so invested in the lives of the young men in this series which I credit this author’s unique writing style and realistic way with words as he shares his Rainbow world.

Just as an aside, Amazon didn’t have this book so I had to get it through Smashwords.

They say that bullies pick their targets based on a specific reason. It could be as simple as the target is different in some way, either because of race, disability or sexuality. In the case of sexuality, it may often be that they want to deflect the suspicions of others away from themselves; that they may in some way be like their victims.
As we enter the high school world of Ian, the lead character in the next volume of the Rainbow Reader Series – White: Educating Hayden, we are quickly confronted by the bully of every gay teen’s worst nightmares. He is older, bigger, stronger and has a reputation for violent and relentless bullying.
After the previous Summer spent in Hawaii in the arms, and bed, of his first love, Warren, Ian has developed a level of confidence about himself and his sexuality that when Hayden decides that he would make an ideal next victim for being gay he stands up to him, taking charge of the situation and confronting Hayden about his own sexuality.
The result is a surprisingly tender awakening and education for Hayden; about himself and the world in which he lives. The culmination of this process is a Summer spent with Ian in the relative freedom of an accepting Hawaiian community, where Hayden truly discovers himself and the role he could play in actually helping other teens struggling with the same issues he was earlier.
This heart-warming, and quite often funny, journey swept me along with its positive message of self-acceptance, hope for the future and embracing the differences among us all. I look forward to following on from here to witness Hayden putting into practice the peaceful and harmonious life which he has begun to experience by embracing his true colours and loving unconditionally.

Sexually satisfying

Like cinnamon and apple pie, champagne and strawberries, or that metaphorical after sex cigarette, this story blew me away. As the first follow up to the three Moments In Time novels, I am as satisfied as ever as The story continues. This time Ian stands up to a school bully, who turns out to be gay! Brilliant. The story takes them to Kauai, as magically romantic a setting for blossoming love to bloom. Another five star winner for Adam Stevens.
