Complexe d'Oedipe 1

Unresolved Daddy Issues #1

by Nathan J. Morissey

Secrets, mensonges, chantage, gloire, célébrité et scandales décrivent bien la série Complexe d’Œdipe.

L’étoile montante Jett Coretti avait tout pour lui : du succès dans sa carrière, une maison immense et Chad, son petit ami plus âgé, qui était très mignon. Mais Chad gardait un secret qui pourrait détruire leur relation amoureuse. Pendant ce temps, Sam, le meilleur ami de Jett, avait une aventure avec un homme marié, magnat de l’industrie hôtelière à Vegas. Lorsque cet homme refusa de s’engager, Sam le fit chanter et lui extorqua de l’argent en menaçant de mettre à jour ses penchants interdits. Le frère de Jett, la star du rock Scott Coretti, pouvait avoir toutes les filles qu’il voulait. Pourquoi était-il attiré par l’un de ses danseurs, le Dieu asiatique musclé, Braden ? Ajoutez à cela une admiratrice maniaque qui veut épouser Jett et l’histoire atteint son apogée en mettant en scène des conflits quasi insurmontables.

Complexe Œdipe explore les intrigues, le sexe, les secrets, les scandales et les situations dramatiques pour garder les lecteurs en haleine. Ce récit est l’équivalent gay d’un roman de Jackie Collins.

I am totally the wrong audience for this work, not being a gay male with a daddy kink. Perhaps awkward, immature, crude, repetitious, misogynistic writing with a careless disregard for POV (eg, POV changes within the same paragraph?) and tendency to fetishize non-white races is the norm or expected style of writing for this type of work but to me, it seemed like really poor writing. I was going to DNF this book indefinitely early on but kept reading out of fascination, and kept finding more fodder for the writing samples list, which can be found under the spoiler tag:

Sample #1:
To satisfy his urge to be close to his lover, Jett snuggled closer to Chad, who let out a sleepy moan.
He lay on Chad’s warm shoulders. The heat spread from Chad to him, warming him up.
Jett took a moment to admire his lover.
In the moonlight, Chad was breathtakingly, achingly beautiful.
Chad sported a healthy California tan. An amateur surfer, he had spent many hours in the ocean.
Jett’s eyes wandered down his body. Oh yes, that body. Chad was also an avid weight trainer. In fact, he used to be a Chippendale dancer in Las Vegas. He was very well-built, with strong arms, a broad chest with minimal brown chest hair, and
Taylor Lautner-like abs.

Sample #2:
Jett sank down onto his man’s broad bare chest. Chad’s pecs were the most delicious he had ever tasted, but for now, they were a kind of safe support, a place for him to lay his weary head down.
Chad’s warm chest made Jett feel safe and secure, just like a daddy. Of course, not a real biological daddy. Jett’s real father had been a prick. He was a loser, working a menial labor job in a factory, assembling computer parts. He had always put Jett down, always discouraged him.
“What?! You wanna be an actor? You with no talent?” his father had said.
Maybe that was why Jett craved an older male as a lover. He never got any love from his father as a child.
Jett sniffed his lover’s chest. It smelled like a mixture of Old Spice Citrus and Chad’s undeniably masculine scent. He felt so safe and warm just lying there.
Yes, he was sure his choice of older male
lovers was a form of compensation for not having gotten any love
from his father.
A few strands of Chad’s chest hair brushed his nose, but he didn’t mind. No, not at all. Jett loved Chad’s sparse chest hair. His chest was mostly bare except for a few loose brown strands. It was great to rub his hands in.
He tried to find some comfort in Chad’s muscled chest, but he couldn’t. Something was troubling him.
Jett glanced at the alarm clock.
It was 2 am, but he couldn’t sleep.
You see, Jett had a problem.

Sample #3:
For a moment, the two lovers were silent as they allowed the pleasurable orgasms to make their way through their bodies.
Jett intertwined his legs with Chad’s and they spooned.
Fuck yeah, thought Chad. That was so good.
Ah, thought Jett. There was nothing like a good orgasm with your lover that relieves anxiety.

Sample #4:

So, Jett started sucking on his man’s enormous genitals. He was always impressed with Chad’s dick. Seven inches and thick like an Italian sausage.
As Jett continued to service Chad’s genitals with his tongue, Chad felt a tad guilty. Something was on his mind.
On the bedside table, Chad’s cell phone buzzed. It sounded like an incoming text.
Jett looked up. “Who could be texting you at this hour?”
Chad reached for his phone and shut it off. “No one important.”
He took his young lover’s head and steered it back toward his cock. “Keep it coming, babe.”
But Jett could sense the uneasiness and worry in his man’s voice.
You see, Chad was keeping a secret from his young lover. And this secret, if revealed, would destroy his
relationship with Jett.

There were four parts to it book, each following a different character related to the primary one, and each ending as a sequel bait. This was a freebie from Smashwords that failed to impress me. I'm not biting.

This book was entertaining enough to keep me interested through to the end, yet not engaging enough for me to pursue the next book in the series.

The Good:

Creative backstories and personalities for each of the main characters, as well as the objects of their affection. Nice use of vignettes to show related stories of interconnected characters around the country. Good cliffhanger ending.

The Bad:

Not much really. Some of the sexual language made me roll my eyes. "Sausage" made a few appearances. "Weiner" even showed up once making me laugh. I was never enamored with any of the characters or their love stories. None of the characters was likeable enough for me to follow up on tbeir story.

Advice for Lucas:

The plot point of having a multi-million dollar hotel and casino owner worried about a blackmail threat from a 22 year old lover seems a little silly- Lucas, tell Sam you've come to your senses and have decided to be with him, no matter what...then take him on the vacation of his dreams to celebrate, somewhere exotic and private, like a yachting excursion on the Mediterranean...Meanwhile, have some trusted associates move the money in question and redistribute it in smaller increments. Have other associates frame Sam for something...like stealing from a guest at your hotel. Once you have Sam alone, get your blow job and then tell Sam he has two choices: 1. He can go back to the states quietly and he will be left alone, with all of his body parts intact, as long as he never sets foot in Nevada again. OR 2. He can return to Vegas, where he will be immediatley taken into custody and should he attempt to blackmail Lucas to the authorities, upon his investigation, they will find that his allegations are completely unfounded.

If you couldn't tell this is about characters with daddy issues, the writer will remind you it's about daddy issues in every single paragraph. The writing is very on-the-nose and didn't do it for me at all. And that is coming from a gay guy who who has a thing for daddies.

I am not sure which might be more hurtful: the fact that this is so bad I think it must surely be a parody, or just the fact that I think it's awful.

Not sure how to rate this. Interesting plots. Will hold council till I read them all
