Switch roles? Roscoe may be a brilliant director, but Sean wants no part of this crazy idea. But when Roscoe suggests that Sean and his leading lady swap Beatrice for Benedict in their college's production of Much Ado About Nothing, everyone else thinks it's a terrific idea. Trapped by peer pressure and the awareness that Roscoe usually knows what he's doing, Sean accepts the challenge only to quickly discover that he likes wearing skirts, both on and off stage. Even more than that, he likes the director's reaction when he flashes a little leg.
This short story is also included in the BRAVO! BRAVA! anthology collection.
Jet is a writer of sexual fantasy with a firm belief that all men are at least partially gay, that vampires are just people with a liquid diet and shapeshifters live on every block.
Not even Jet Mykles could make me really fall in love with this student/professor tale. I'm not sure how old Shawn was supposed to be (it is probably obvious to anyone in the US by what year he is in at college), but he just came across as way too young to me - not just physically young, but mentally and emotionally too.
I was disappointed because usually Jet's boys carry me along and have me happily suspending any disbelief to flat out enjoy their stories.
I loved these characters and although there is another short story about them, I wish there was more. Shawn caught my heart from the beginning, even with his brattiness.
