Connection

Bruised #1

by Sean Michael

Johnson figures it's got to be a sign when cowboy Billy shows up at his garage after hours, just as he's about to go find someone to spend the night with. He's horny enough that a lot of guys would look good, but Billy seems special somehow.

Billy thinks Johnson's the hottest ticket he's seen since he moved to California from Texas, and after a good meal and some good fun, he takes Johnson home. They both find out they're getting more than they bargained for. Can Johnson and Billy figure out why they feel so connected?

About the author

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago."

A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys.

Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

I should know better than to buy these Sean Michael stories with weird ass fetishes. Sigh. Cherry Sours anyone? This time the guy discovers (seems to be a new fetish) that he likes leaving hickeys and bruises (not from hitting but holding tight) on his new lover, a Texas cowboy lawyer. Guy is a mechanic and they meet when the lawyer brings in this truck. Its basically them spending the weekend together and figuring out this little bruising thing which they both seem fine with. Book 2 and 3 are them further expanding their relationship. Will I buy book 2 and 3? Not right now. I didn’t really connect to the characters that much. But then I didn’t think that about Cherry Sours either and I enjoyed the sequels now many months later so who knows. But unliked Facets: Rough Cut I won’t be running out and buying them anytime soon.

When I first started reading this one, I was not sure if I wanted to finish it. But I stuck it out until the next few pages and I was like wow!! glad I did not stop and put it away for a rainy day when I had nothing better to read or do. I enjoyed it so much I waited impatiently to see if there would be more and Mr Michael did not disappoint!!

The plot is all standard Sean Michael sips and shorts fare. Sex, sex, sex. Love, mine, yours. sex, sex, sex.

Interesting kink in this one is Johnson marking and bruising Billy from fingers and bite marks.

I read this book as part of a "series" challenge because it's been sitting on my TBR shelf the longest. I enjoy Sean Michael's brand of erotica, but there was really nothing special or memorable about this little number - okay, not great.

Sex, sex and more sex. Add in more sex and hickeys and bruises and you've got the basic's of this story.
