Head Game

Rate this book
Hey! Name’s Adam Darling and hustling’s my game. When I was eighteen, my parents kicked me to the curb after catching me enjoying a good romp in the sack with my boyfriend. So I took the bus to Queens, NY and used my boyish looks to turn tricks to make my rent and fund my weakness for club clothing.
On the night of my twentieth birthday, everything came crashing down and, like a wuss, I collapsed and had myself a good cry. Deep in my “woe is me” fest, I knew I had to make some decisions I’d much rather not have to face.
Confused, I’m not sure what to do. Should I leave the head game my life has become? Will my changing looks allow me to continue status quo? One very sexy cowboy has an offer that sounds like the answer I’ve been looking for, but can I find it within myself to take the leap of faith and accept it or should I walk away?

This was a great, HOT, very short story of a gay boy of 18 that was kicked to the curb when his parents found out he was gay. He moved to Queens, New York, and the only way he survived on the streets was turning tricks. He had his regulars which weren't too satisfying, at least for him, but it brought in enough money to afford a small place, some food, and some clothes to wear at the gay bar across the street. Adam Darling was essentially a twink, but he knew he wouldn't be able to pull that off long since he would be turning 20 in a couple of months.
One night he went to the bar and met a handsome cowboy....a man that was different... Colt Reynolds was his name, an owner of a Texas ranch.
That first night and next day was explosive, and Colt was all Adam could think about. If you love MM Sex and Romance and the possibilities therein, you will love this. The story line was direct and to the point, and very sexy, Hot, with two main characters that you couldn't help but love.
A very short read, but it can set you on fire.... Don't miss it.

1 Heart Review by Marieke

The story starts off with Adam doing one of his tricks. Mr. Smith is a nasty, dirty, overweight man who likes his cock sucked by a pretty young thing. The inner dialogue makes it read as funny, but it still made me feel uncomfortable to read about how dirty he tastes and how bad his personal hygiene was. Then the next trick is a guy with a tiny dick who likes young boys. He’s a teacher and lusts after his students, but uses Adam to cope. This too was written more as a comedy than serious.

Later that night Adam goes out and meets Colt, a sexy cowboy. That’s when this book really starts going down hill. The conversations are just cringe worthy, too fake and bad to be read without me thinking; “What? Omg, you’re not serious are you? And; “Really…no, really?”

The story line is flimsy, the conversation worse. The characters are one-dimensional and lack everything from feeling to common sense. The Texas twang of Colt was the straw that made me completely abandon all hope. This story is unsolvable. I’m very sorry to say, because I hate giving bad reviews.

How can anyone write conversations like: As the chorus blared through the speakers, Colt slid up behind me and grabbed my hips, smashing his very aroused dick against my ass. “Feel that, sweet cheeks? It’s all for you tonight.”

“Mmm…” I turned around, yanked him close, and serenaded him with, “I wanna take a ride on your disco stick.”

And: “My prick is not a pig, cowboy.” I realized his southern accent kicked in more and more as his cock grew longer and stiffer by the second.

“No, no it ain’t, it’s somethin’ much, much better than some fat porker. But I’m lookin’ forward to hearin’ you squeal for me as you beg me to let you come while I have my wicked way with that sinful ass of yers.”

Or this; “Git along, little doggy. This is gonna be one hell of a ride,” Colt commanded.

And what I really don’t want to read in a sex scene: Within milliseconds, my balls were free and my prick began to jerk wildly as strings of hot cum flowed from it like piss. I could feel Colt’s cock knocking against my walls as the heat of his spunk filled the tip of the condom and spread throughout me.

“Oh shit, oh fuck, oh shiiit!” I yelled at the top of my lungs.

“Yippee ki-yay, sweet cheeks!”

Conclusion, this is a must not read for me. Well, unless you like that sort of thing…which I don’t.

Set in Queens, N.Y. The wealthy Mr. Smith (60+) paid Adam Darling (18, aka Naggy) $70 to perform fellatcio on him.
The parents David Darling & Celeste Darling had kicked him out long ago.

Living on the streets as a twink could be very tough at times.
Don Haverhill was next he enjoyed anal sex. $50.
Colton Colt Reynolds (25+) & Adam met at the Whiplash bar. Colt bought him a drink.
They got a room at the Red Roof Inn.

Same place/same time every Friday visit from Colt now.

What is the Reynold’s Ranch all about?

Warning: This book is for adults only & contains extreme violence, graphic adult content or expletive language &/or sexually explicit scenarios. It may be offensive to some readers.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written gay erotic book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of very unique/colorful characters to keep track of. This could also make another great gay erotic movie, or paid-per-view mini TV series. Strictly heterosexual I still enjoyed reading it. To be continued? That said I will rate it at 5 stars.

Turning tricks to make ends meet has become a way of life for Adam. Longing to find someone to really love him and not be used as a sex toy seems like a dream until a chance meeting changes Adam's life. Clint is a smoking hot cowboy who is in town for a few days and looking for a little "action". One smoking hot night of sex turns into an instant connection - but can Adam leave the lifestyle he has come to know? Could he ever be good enough for Clint? Don't miss out on this one!!!! It's super smoking HOT (I even blushed lol) amazing sex scenes and dash of sweetness. I can't wait to read more from Ms. Jewel!!

If you love some HOT, SEXY STEAMY man love, then you HAVE to get this. Adam Darling, is a street smart, young man that left home when his parents found out he was gay. He started to turn tricks to survive. This is a short story and chalk full of MM sex. Harper Jewel has given us another SEXY, Male/Male story.

After being kicked out by his parents Adam is reduced to turning tricks for older men, it not only gets him basic foods, it also pays for his passion for club cloths. This short story was so sexy and fun, when Adam meets a hunky cowboy things go bonkers. Really enjoyed this one, a nice, short read.

A short story about a young man whore, and what then happened... Not much deep emotions, some desperate thoughts and some liking. In the end of story there’s light in horizon and a happy ending for now, maybe even happier future. Nicely written, too.

​Oh my, a MC that you really feel for. Kicked out by his parents after he was caught with his then boyfriend in a rather compromising position (butt sex has that effect), he heads to New York. Using his boyish looks, he then turns tricks to make his money for rent and his big weakness - club clothes. His place may be the worst possible, but his club clothes are ace!

On one of his evenings out visiting the gay club Whiplash, he meets Colt, and a has a weekend he will never forget. However, his biggest issue seems to be he cannot forget Colt and how he made him feel. They had met often for the time that Colt was in New York, and when he returns to his ranch in Houston, the two keep in touch with texts and calls.

Adam misses Colt a lot, and as his birthday draws closer, he then begins to question his life, and what he going to do when he loses his boyish looks. Being slapped around the face by a client was the last thing that Adam needed, and was the one thing that completely broke him. He just withdrew into himself, ignoring everything including the fact he was meant to meet Colt on his birthday.

Colt could not forget Adam, and when he didn't meet him when he was supposed to, Colt went to his apartment. Once he finally gets Adam to open the door to him, he then talks to him and Adam has to make a decision that would change his life forever...... what should he do??

This was a short story, but I really did enjoy reading it, you really felt for both of the MC's in the book. I look forward to reading more from Harper Jewel in the future.
