Tasim's Tale #1
Skywalker
Robert Prescott Reyes-Waterson is a man with four names, an office-with-a-view, and a superior attitude, particularly when it comes to blue collar workers. That changes when he meets Joseph Brant, a full-blooded Mohawk ironworker who isn't what he seems, and won't take "no" for an answer.

Robert works in insurance and just got promoted to a window office on the 23rd floor of the Chrysler building. He sees a guy with long hair walking the steel girders without a harness and is amazed but pissed off because it ups the insurance premiums. He really has no use for blue collar workers and is a job snob. On impulse he goes to the bar across the street and runs into Joseph, the guy on the girder. They get off to a rough start when Robert makes all kinds of snobby assumptions about Joseph and the men in the bar. The next day he can't stop thinking about Joseph and on a whim goes back to the bar where he finds him again. He apologises and they end up going for dinner and start dating. However Joseph still refuses to wear a harness and after several months together Robert can't deal with knowing any minute he could get a call saying Joseph is a grease spot. It was quite interesting to read about how Joseph felt on the girders and his philosophy. He is a Mohawk and I understand many of the construction workers in NYC on the skyscrapers are Mohawk. So that was an interesting twist. Robert was a bit of a prat and hard to like but Joseph softened him a bit I guess you could say. A good little read.

Robert is a stuck-up executive, with superior attitude, and an annoying point-of-views for blue collar workers. And Joseph is set to make Robert see how wrong his perception is. I swear, Kiernan Kelly has one of the smartest or funniest dialogs in M/M stories. I LOVE the arguments between Robert and Joseph. I can't help to smile broadly when I read the scenes. Even if Robert is annoying (and I'd probably going to dislike this man in real life for his way of thinking) but I think Joseph will be able to straight him up (no pun intended) and it makes him adorable somehow. I wish there is an extended scene to see how Robert introduced Joseph to his mother.

March 2, 2014Sadly I didn't like it.
Contrary to the other reviewers here I liked Robert and I actually couldn't stand Joseph. I think Robert has every right to point out how dangerous it is to not use a safety harness and Joseph started with the bullshit about Robert being afraid to get his hands dirty and how he himself has more chances is the Apocalypse strike and so on and so forth. And to me he was the one with superioi attitude constantly trying to teach Robert and his irony was getting on my nerves. For the life of me I couldn't fathom why Robert would want to see him again, moreover to be in a relationship with him.

What a lovely little slice of erotica! I just wish it had been longer, for it left me wanting more.
