In this, the final installment of the series, Brady stages a successful comeback. The story starts off exactly where the last book left off. From the very beginning of the first scene, Brady and Richard play together while Nate watches them and waits his turn to join in on the fun. After that, it doesn’t take long before the whole affair devolves into a perverted group session. Incredible chemistry exists between Richard and Brady.

Richard stops to pick up a hitchhiker named Adam who is heading in the same direction as the cabin. And before long, the two guys start making out and playing with each other with a lot of hunger. Following the breakdown of his truck, Richard makes the decision to spend the night in a room that has been rented out by a man named Ned. During the course of that evening, a lot of wild and insane things take place. And everything proceeds in this manner till daylight. This is what one can call a room with full service.

I noticed that, much like the book I read before it, this one does not use quotation marks for the dialogue. I’m not sure what caused this, but as a result, the structure of these two most recent books diverges from that of the other books in the series. Richard Manley is a writer of homosexual erotica that is intended for gay men to read. It is rough, unapologetic, and packed with a lot of heat. I found myself enjoying each and every one of the books in the series. In my opinion, the plot benefited from the participation of each and every character, regardless of how minor their roles were. Although this is the final book in the series, I highly doubt that it will be the last book by this author that I read. The prospect of reading all of his other work fills me with excitement. If you are seeking erotica with a high level of heat, then you may find that you adore this one.

Congratulations to Richard Manley for being one of the very few erotica authors who had me gasping, excitedly, each time a sex scene was extended by the addition of multiple partners. Just when you think everyone has had a great time, another one, two, or more new characters jump into the scene and the excitement just builds, again and again, climax to climax.

WHEW! Having read this entire series, I can definitely say I've become insatiable and want to read more and more of this author's works.
