Each week as I read a new installment of the Secrets Collection, I think it can't possibly get better. This week Annabelle Jacobs keeps things light and fun as she delivers a smart, sexy read. By light and fun I mean no deep, complicated romance or angst issues. There's definitely some sexual tension, but don't worry, it's the good kind. :)
As Aaron's settling into the new house he's sharing at university, everything seems great. He's found a house with three guys he's never met, but they're advertising a place he can really be himself without fear of judgment over his sexuality, something he hasn't had before now. I think he's looking forward to being out and honest about being gay until a prank between two of his roommates leaves him in an awkward position and with an opportunity to try something new.
I really like the overall theme of sexual exploration in this story, and Jacobs does a great job of keeping it real. Since Aaron doesn't have tons of experience, he doesn't jump into anything too hardcore. This doesn't detract from his kinky nature though, and I have the feeling this story just scratches the surface of what's in his future. Aaron's curiosity is endearing, and once Rob offers to help him experiment, his excitement is infectious. These two guys together have some definite chemistry, and the results are pretty steamy.
If you're looking for a fun, sexy read without the huge time commitment, I definitely recommend this and all the stories in The Secrets Collection. They're a terrific way to experience some quality writing without too many strings attached. You'll simply find great characters coming together for some good, sexy fun. What more can you ask for?
