Richard decides it’s time to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, so he goes to the cabin that his family owns and stays there. Later he decides to spend the night in a motel. It wasn’t until much later that we learned it was a motel for adults with clothing-optional areas! This is a superb setting, both for establishing the story and for generating the mood necessary to maintain its erotic quality as a whole.
At the hotel, Richard has a couple encounters with men who are rather interesting. Despite the fact that he makes an attempt to rein in his impulses, we can all see where this is going to end up. The scene in Richard’s hotel room with Nate is just incredible to read. The author is talented at building up a setting and giving it an intense atmosphere. With Richard having a short bathrobe on and Nate wearing his skimpy swimwear, it is unlikely that the guys will continue to wear them for a considerable amount of time.
The book’s tone is comparable to that of the earlier books in the series. Fans of hardcore content will enjoy the variety of sex scenes that are featured, each with a unique theme. Threesome, group sex, and domination are a few to mention. Remember that the entire narrative takes place in that adult motel, which is the perfect setting for some steamy fun. Something I noticed with this book is the lack of quotation marks for the dialogue. Whether this was done on purpose or simply an editing mistake, I’m not sure. I know that some authors don’t use them, but the previous books had them. I’m glad I’m still getting a kick out of this series. I will keep reading Richard Manley’s books even after I finish this series because he writes excellent gay erotica. One more book to go!
