Jack was in a wreck last year. He’s lost a lot of confidence. When he finds Rafe, alone, in a farm house miles from anywhere, he falls in love. All he wants to do is watch. He spies on Rafe from the garden, thinking he’ll get to know him somehow.
Then he meets Rafe, who has been accused of murder. Sissy has gone missing and Rafe is responsible, or is he?
Todd Young writes books that sit on the borderline between gay erotica and m/m romance.
Generally, I aim to write erotica that goes a little further than the average. I spend a lot of time on my characters, trying to make them as believable as possible. While my stories are sexual fantasies, I want them to have a deeper meaning, and a quality of unexpectedness. To some extent, I am attempting to write literature, but I want my stories to be genuinely engaging. I want them to be easy to read, while at the same time leaving the reader with the feeling that they have read something meaningful.
I hope both men and women will find my stories satisfying. They revolve around romance, though there is often much more going on in the texts.
Patterns fill in the blanks with clues and hints over the attempts to hide.
But twisted emotions and manipulated thoughts lead to finger pointing, silencing witnesses, stranger behavior, drug dealing, sexual encounters, and cover ups that do not quite cover all the exposure in this skin game that has money, love, hate, sex, and lightning all filling the whirlpool in the river.
A dark and painful tale of kitchen tongs as sex toys, and possible murder.
This author has his own special way of telling a story. His books are filled with quirky characters and a focus on the male crotch.
When at the end, two characters are fighting to the death, it's not strange that he fills us in on how their crotches are doing.
No, we are used to it because we were made aware of guys crotches and underwear, or lack thereof, so many times before.
Its gets less than 3 stars, not because it's bad, but because the unconventional behavior and strange sexual atmosphere is the best part. The plot is not the selling point.
It's what strange thing that might happen next that keeps you going.
There is a missing person and in any other book it would be a crime needing to be solved. In this book, it's more of a backdrop for sensual male bonding by the river.
Someone confesses to a crime with no provocation, other than maybe the size of the endowment of the guy he's talking to.
Other books by this author I enjoyed the story more, but I'm still glad I read it to see what he wrote. Kitchen tongs are different for me now.
