Roommates

Rate this book
The same characteristics that make Morgan Bryant a good detective -- his intensity and focus -- have sunk his past relationships. He's not looking for a convenient fuck when he seeks a roommate, just someone to help with the bills for the summer. But he gets so much more in Jasper Lawrence. From the start, Jasper's big, sexy body calls to Morgan. Morgan worries that if he lets his desire to screw Jasper control him, he'll lose out in the long run.

Jasper, who has come to California to get his head on straight, is surprised when he falls for his gruff, blond roommate right from the start. The focus that made Morgan's past lovers uncomfortable turns Jasper on. Morgan's hard body makes Jasper long for some uninterrupted time with Morgan between the sheets.

They met, they fell in love, they had sex. It was too short for there to be much explanation of why/how that happened or who they were.

This a very strange but interesting short story, too short for me to have a full comprehension of the characters, but still very intriguing.

Morgan is a big and pretty lonely cop. Even when a child he was an almost hermit, and when he realized to prefer men, that was only one thing more to prevented him to have a normal social life. Since he doesn't seem to be willing to correct this situation, it seems strange that he chose to sub lease his apartment for the summer.

Jasper is an Afro American teacher from Chicago. Having lost his grandmother, his Nana, that grew him, he takes a sabbatical year to think and decide what to do for the rest of his life. A summer in California seems a good way to start. And Morgan is a lovely plus to the room he rent.

Both pretty strong in body, Jasper and Morgan have some emotion issues to overcome. To say that passion flares since the beginning it's not true: they are drawn to each other but before doing the BIG thing, they spend some days to taste the field. The resulting sex scene is very involving and tender.

There are a lot of not said words in this book, the author doesn't spend time to analyze all the reasons for this two men, but maybe it's the strenght of the novel: this is the story of two souls that meet and mate without words if not the really important ones...
