Nineteen years old, disowned, and stripped of family funds, Chaz Miller is just trying to survive. Its a good thing he's got skills—his c*cksucking will come in a might handy when he lands a noteworthy and steady john. But after being busted, Chaz finds an unexpected benefactor in Vice Detective Chris Conley, who gets him into a prostitute rehabilitation program. Now Chaz needs to redeem himself so he can find a permanent place in Chris's arms.
BRYL R. TYNE is a wrangler by nature and a writer by choice. Balancing as many pronouns as hats, somewhere between the evil day job, editing, and helping a benevolent Sugar Daddy raise the last of seven kids, Bryl writes. Homoerotic romance is a favorite, but many of Bryl’s stories cross genres. Comedy, Fantasy, Mystery, Sci-fi, even Westerns, Bryl writes them all.
PULL is one of those stories that is more than a sum of its parts. It's short in length but rich in detail, emotion and impact. For the most part I enjoy short stories, although there are times that the lack of pages can make them seem too rushed or missing too much thereby lacking cohesiveness. But Bryl's short stories win every time. There is always a sense of satisfaction at the end; all loose ends are tied, nothing left hanging even if there is a sense of 'more to come'. PULL is a perfect example of Bryl's ability to give us a relatively brief look into the lives of the characters but one that leaves us feeling complete. If you haven't read anything yet by Bryl, now is the time to rectify the oversight. PULL is an excellent story with which to begin. You won't be sorry!
A sweet short cinderfella story with a southern twist.
The narrative voice of Chaz surprised me in the beginning. Took me off guard, in a positive way. While strange at first, the more I read on, the more I felt connected to Chaz. The sweet HEA was of course expected but it wasn't too sweet for me, which was an other nice surprise.
Why is 'PULL' the title of this story? Because 'pull' was exactly what Chaz Miller needed to get out of trouble with the law. Detective Conley, actually as guilty as Chaz, pulled the necessary strings to ensure that Chaz had pull. He arranged for his sister to be Chaz's lawyer, he sucked up to the presiding judge and persuaded him to keep Chaz out of jail by setting up a rehabilitation program with Conley as Chaz's counselor.
Detective Chris Conley made a very odd knight in shinning armor, but that's exactly what he was. He rushed in to rescue his beloved from the dire circumstances facing him, finally convincing Chaz that he had his best interests at heart. Bryl's unique ability to mix tenderness with toughness amazes me. 'PULL' succeeded in pulling at my heart strings and had me sighing with contentment.
'PULL' is a fast paced, rough ride into the sad reality which some people must deal with daily, particularly those without family support. The story ended too abruptly, but with a great deal of promise, leaving me begging for a sequel. Once again, Bryl Tyne has demonstrated that he truly has what it takes to pull off a first-class story.
