The Pool Rules

Rate this book
Lance Powell is a scholarship swimmer at the university during the school year and a lifeguard at the community pool during the summer. He’s handsome, he’s responsible, he’s confident, he’s aloof… no one would ever know that he’s completely head over heels for the little troublemaker that he has to constantly reprimand.

High school senior Asher Tate is only a few years younger than the college athlete, but it might as well be a decade. He is the complete opposite of Lance. He is a reckless, carefree daredevil who couldn’t stay out of trouble if his life depended on it. What Lance doesn’t know though, is that half of Asher’s stunts are just to get his attention, for Asher has had a crush on Lance ever since they were kids together.

One day at the pool, Asher disobeys Lance and nearly gets hurt. The lifeguard decides he has had it with Asher’s flagrant disobedience of The Pool Rules and decides it's time to teach his crush a lesson that he won’t soon forget! How does he plan to do that? Well, you’ll just have to read on to find out!

This fluffy, summery treat will satisfy yaoi fans of all kinds! Featuring internal artwork by premier Yaoi artist, Elle Rei!

Amelita Rae took a wrong turn on the internet one day. All the innocent young lass wanted to do was watch funny cat videos, but then she discovered Boy's Love and that was the end of any worthwhile contribution she might have otherwise made to the world.

She now spends most of her time writing filthy smut that she tries to frame with farfetched plots and deranged characters, but don't be fooled by her bullshit people, its all just smut.

Calling all lovers of spanking!! Hear hear!! This little short should make you one happy reader.

Unfortunately, this does absolutely nothing for me, and I liked everything but the spanking.

Eh, you win some, you lose some.

My 6th Amelita Rae's Read

There's a type of book that you can't remember what the story is all about soon after you finished it, and this book is one of the example....

I just finished reading this book about an hour or so ago, and when I'm about to write this review...I suddenly can't remember what the story is all about....

Maybe it because the story waaaaay to short or....it leave no impression at all....

Cute, funny and raunchy. Took me back to my teenage years when I hung out around the country club pool during the summer and drooled over the lifeguards. The title says "short" but I wanted more than just one sex scene. Maybe author can develop it into a full length novel or serial.

Asher Tate had zero sense of self-preservation. He didn’t have the common sense God gave a lemming.


Cute cover. 🥰

Lance Powell is in college. Tall, buff, and handsome. On the swim team at his university, the hot jock has a summer job as a lifeguard at his hometown’s community pool.

Asher Tate is a blonde, irresistible twink. Two years Lance’s junior, Asher is a little troublemaker.

Everyone throws themselves at Lance, especially the girls. But he’s only got eyes for Asher…

He looked like an enormous, tanned, pissed-off Hulk.

Intense mutual crushes—secret crushes…that go back a long way…

Locker room. The two are finally alone.

“I’ve finally got you right where I want you. And you’ve been begging me for this for years.”

Good anatomy, physiology, and verbiage.

So…a lot of spanking. Like, a lot.

Could do more with the HFN, but love the guys’ chemistry together.


“I will protect you and keep you safe, even from your own foolishness.”

“If you wanted my attention so badly, all you had to do was ask.”

Not the best of Amelita’s I’ve read but probably cause I don’t necessarily want to read a shirt that focuses just on spanking. Spanking that leads to something else as foreplay sure but to end there? 🫤 if you love that then you’ll likely love this more then I did.

A enjoyable short read, but...

This was another enjoyable read by Amelita Rae. I enjoyed reading the story of Lance and Asher, but the typos throughout the book can be a little annoying. But last that it was a cute plot and a enjoyable read.

Love this author

I love this author, just upset she is no longer writing. This book was just as good as all the others, only wished it was longer.

A cute and hot short story about two guys that had secret crushes on each other since childhood. The younger one, Asher, kept getting into trouble at the pool where Lance was the lifeguard, and Lance finally has had enough of Asher not being responsible for his own safty.

Lance takes Asher aside for a serious talk in which the lifeguard calls for punishment which Asher agrees to not realizing Lance was going to spank some sense into him. It's a hot, sexy scene though I did feel for Asher when Lance wouldn't stop and the poor boys bottom was really sore.

Anyway, Amelita Rae gives another cute Yaoi short.

Breaking the rules ....

...

Asher is a fun loving boy but he gets into trouble more often than not. Lance is by the book life guard and has known Asher for a long time even baby sitting him pulling him out of trouble. Both hold a secret that both discover during this story.

The rule breaker has gone too far and Lance is going to give the punishment.

A quick more gentle story with a lot less graphical sex but great characters and a fun story.

Good story, but too short.

It needs to be expanded into book length, with more adventures as Asher tries to help both get what they really want. This could be the start of something big, and the games to earn the punishment that both seem to need as they discover and uncover more about each other.

I think this is the only Rae story where they don’t actually have sex, cute little R rated story instead of her usual NC-17 🤣
