Nineteen years old, disowned, and stripped of family funds, Chaz Miller is just trying to survive. It's a good thing he's got skills—his cocksucking will come in a 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.

Gritty and unforgiving, this story had me sympathetic of Chaz from the get-go. Doing what he could to survive, he was still either young enough or unjaded enough to want more than just a quick encounter in a bathroom stall. And when he found what he was looking for, the betrayal he felt when he gets busted is heartwrenching. Author Bryl Tyne is a wonderful writer, technically as well as emotionally. Every emotion Chaz can go through is explored. I loved the twists and turns from many angles. If you enjoy homo-erotic stories, don’t pass this one by…it’s a treat!

Twenty-five year old social butterfly, Levi Finley couldn't be more
mismatched for his middle-aged, introverted counterpart, biomedical tech, Rob Langston. What happens when two so utterly opposite men come together? Besides the hottest sex in Levi's young life? Throw in one opinionated mother, misunderstanding friends, and one hell of a birthday party at the wildest, gentleman's gentlemen club in town, and friction, a notch above wild, is bound to ensue. Will Levi allow doubts to destroy their relationship? Not if Rob has any say in the matter. But that might not be as easy as it sounds, considering Rob's preferred communication is always best unspoken.

This packed a lot of erotica in a short story! Due to Rob’s non-communicative nature, he and Levi’s relationship appears complicated and weird to Levi’s friends but Levi knows Rob unlike anyone else. The author does a great job of portraying Rob as the strong, silent lover but once behind closed doors, he becomes a sensitive partner for Levi. While Levi did allow his friend’s doubts to color his view of Rob during an especially inebriated birthday celebration, Rob’s love for him brought him back around, showing him that Levi’s friends didn’t have a clue about who the real Rob was. A very nice read!
