Twenty-year-old Jesse, a 5-10 geek is placed in a dorm room with
twenty-four-year-old Nick, a 6-6 heavily muscled jock when Jesse gets
beaten to a pulp by his former roommate after he gets the wrong
signals and puts the moves on him--his gaydar obviously not working.
Jesse cringes every time this goliath twitches a muscle.
Since this is a YA Gay Romance the plot would seem to be set. Do
opposites attract? Can this hunk be gay and how could this bouncer be
intimidated by anyone? The text is well-edited and quite readable.
The sample provided moved me to spend the asking price to buy this
novel.
Aside from homophobia gay romance introduces the reader to new terms
and issues of compatibility. A hairy older male is termed a Bear, a
boyish looking blond such as Jesse is a TWINK. When both partners
have the same body parts issues of dominance involving two male egos
aside to be compatible one partner is usually a bottom and the other
a top. When you bounce at a gay bar you deal with the additional
stress of which dance partner leads.
Although questions of physical dominance are obvious when one partner
is 8 inches taller and 80 pounds heavier psycho-social issues may
surprise you. If descriptions of male on male sexual intercourse
offend you please look elsewhere.
