Screen Shots #4
Submissive
Skyler, the newest recruit to twentysomethingtwinks.com, has one mission in to get Thom, the cool, collected lead cameraman, naked and sweaty between the sheets. Skyler’s used to getting what he wants. So is Thom.
Skyler does know that Thom used to work on the other side of the camera. What he doesn’t know is that Thom specialized in training submissives. If you ask Thom, what Skyler needs is a damn good spanking. If Skyler doesn’t watch out, he’s in for a lesson on how to mind his manners. Lucky Skyler…

I wonder if there can be too many books from an author. Since the Screen Shots series started, a new book has been published every month and the quality is definitely starting to slip. Although the series is about a gay porn company and have very thin plots weaving together a lot of sensuality and sex scenes, the characters are getting more wooden and unappealing with each successive offering. The latest book is the worst of the series and can’t be saved even with hot BDSM sex. Additionally there are several writing errors that make me wonder if these books are being pushed out too soon and ultimately to the detriment of the series. As I like the author quite a bit and want to like this series, I’m pretty disappointed and let down.
Thom is one of the behind the scenes wranglers and directors of the twentysomethingtwink.com company. Although he once was in front of the camera, his intensity and sexual kinks scared too many newcomers away and he transitioned to behind the lens. For six long years Thom has abstained from sex, earning his nickname “The Priest” from the porn cast. Now that long hiatus ends when brand new star Skyler pushes his way into Thom’s life. Thom recognizes the need to be dominated in the young man and happily complies.
The story starts out attempting to show Thom’s great control in the face of a pouting, immature Skyler. Skyler flounces around and tries to get Thom’s attention while he stoically and bravely ignores the young man. Often other porn stars would comment on the actions but do so in a mysterious way, leaving the reader confused over the intentions of the conversation. There is a lot of missed information and context as if there is some big secret that the reader isn’t allowed to know. This is frustrating and also unnecessary since the only secret is Thom’s love of domination, which is stated up front. So all the attempts at subterfuge and misdirection add nothing to the story and in fact create an awkward beginning.
When Thom and Skyler finally get together, all the action takes place over the course of one day. Skyler has so much sex that day it verges into impossible and turns a pouty, stubborn Skyler into the a demure, happy submissive with just a few words and a toy or two in merely one day. The lightening quick change focuses almost exclusively on the sex aspects to the exclusion of either man’s personality. There are brief mentions to Thom’s belief in past lives but this is completely dropped once it’s mentioned so why this information is included at all is confusing. Furthermore neither man is developed, both wooden and one dimensional beyond their sexual chemistry.
As with all the books in the series, the focus on accepting sex with the other stars as normal is a key component. Here after a six year no sex rule, Thom is ready to indulge once again with all the current porn stars. This decision doesn’t make sense for either man’s personality, their dynamic or the entire set up of the company and weak rationale for why the casual sex between friends is acceptable. Yet the book ends with Thom and Skyler happily agreeing to have casual sex with the other men now and even a mention of a ten man orgy. From these frustrating aspects to the various other stars that have all blended together and then adding in writing and editing mistakes, I ultimately was incredibly disappointed and ultimately wish I hadn’t read this book.
I like this series and am a fan of hot BDSM sex yet with the poor execution of the plot with the holes and lack of depth to the characters, this offering felt like it was pushed out before it was ready. This makes me worried for future books in the series or perhaps this one will simply be the worst of the group and they will go back to the fun, flirty, sex filled fluff the series intends. I sadly can’t recommend this title but perhaps others in the series will improve.

February 1, 2010There is very few of submissive in Skyler, the new twink of 20Something. He is arrived to the professional porn firm with a single mind purpose, to conquer Thom, producer and lead cameraman, but also former porn actor. Skyler can’t believe he has retired for good, but most of all, he can’t believe what people is saying, that Thom is now like a “priest”, he is like an asexual “father” for all the pretty boys around, but he doesn’t touch anyone.
But as Skyler says, what he wants, he gets, and even if he pouts and mumbles, his patience is big almost as Thom’s, and so, after a right period of observation, Thom is ready to give Skyler a taste of what he so much wants, and if, at the end of the day, he will be not on his way out of the place, then maybe Thom will be sure that the man he is waiting for six years is finally arrived.
It’s almost a torture what Thom does to Skyler, almost a Tantalus’ torture, since, while he, Thom, never once gives up to the urges of his body, Skyler instead is on a rollercoast, each time reaching an higher apex to then falling down to an apparently calm, to then, almost immediately reach another higher level. More Thom gives to Skyler and more Skyler is there to ask for more.
There is a light difference between this story and the others in the series: even if Skyler is working for the firm, doing scene with other men, this is not part of the story. It’s not “important” and the focus has to remain on the particular relationship between Thom and Skyler. As proved in his “torture”, it’s not important for Skyler to be abstinent, it’s important for him to understand that, if he obtains Thom, then he will be an exclusivity only of him. And I’m not referring to his body, the body for Thom is not important, this is a question of will and how much Skyler is willing to let his will be lead by Thom. It’s not even a question of pleasure / pain, even if the plug Thom uses with Skyler doesn’t seem so comfortable, aside that Thom doesn’t use anything else to “play” his will-power game with Skyler.
Not denying release to Skyler, not using anything tangible to force him, when Skyler will let it go, when he will surrender to Thom, it will be a total surrender, something he has decided with full conscience, and so even more satisfying.

Well, I started reading these and despite my frustration with 2 and 3 I felt compelled to continue. I found this one was better. Newbie Skylar is pushing Thom hard and he’s resisting. Seems Thom is all into zen and eating right and hasn’t been with anyone in 6 years and is a total Dom. The others try to warn Skylar off but he’s insistent. Finally Thom gives and Skylar is in for a wild ride and enjoys every minute of it after some resistance. So it was an okay story for me. There was less of this vague philosophical stuff and more just accepting the D/s thing for Skyler.

So far I am just sick of the build up. Diappointing as I enjoyed the first three, this was the one I was really looking forward to.

Thom is clearly trying to drive Skyler out of his mind. This is quite a fun read, if you like seeing people being teased and tormented, with not much plot to get in the way (oh, the benefits of being set on a porn set, no need for convoluted reasons for sex). Also quite a short read, I felt like it finished just as it was starting to get somewhere.
