Too much was happening too fast this week. Then the last 5 minutes of “Awakening” happened. Very cute.After the unmitigated disaster that was last week”s plot, I was ready to write the last two episodes of “Sleepy Hollow” off as a loss. Plus, Nick, the first person narrator, is hilarious whenever he involves the audience directly, breaking the fourth wall. I really liked this one, but I'm not gonna pick up the other books in the series, because they seem to dive deep into dom/sub territory, which isn't my thing.īut rating this for what it is (a taboo erotica short), I can say I was entertained. Yeah, that's literally it, it's a novella, so don't expect much plot or character development. There was literally no difference, except that the dad might be a pretty decent guy for raising a son that wasn't his (not even by adoption) after the boy's mother left him (and HER son) behind.Īnyway, at age 18, Nick starts to appreciate his stepdad in more ways than one and finds himself on a camping trip with his dad that changes their reality forever. Because judging from the setting, they might as well be. It's adorable how the author worked hard on establishing the relationship as a dad/son fantasy without actually having them be related by blood. This was a nicely done little taboo story between a step-dad and his 18 year old step-son. It’s a dirty, sexy, sweet, sweaty ride that'll leave you begging for more - just like Nick! In an effort to show Nick how far he will go to save their relationship, Stan takes his troubled brat on a camping trip where they will both get far more than they bargained for. The reason becomes clear when he catches Nick red-handed, and learns just what sorts of thoughts have been churning in that fertile imagination. Stan loves Nick more than anything in the world, but can't fathom why their usually close connection is starting to fall apart. Ashamed of his feelings, but unable to turn them off, his relationship with Stan might be at risk if he can't open up and admit how he feels. Now his imagination is running wild about what it would be like to be controlled by the man of the house, Stan. Nick is a shy, antisocial eighteen year old who wasn't sure what he wanted until he peeked at something he wasn't supposed to see. This gay erotica series contains graphic erotic scenes between two or more men engaging in forbidden affections and exploring a new dynamic of power and control in their relationship.
