Contemporary Erotic Romance/ Nontraditional Sexualities

 

Bill was rethinking his decision to attend college in the north.  Being from southern California, the cold wasn’t something he was used to.  Added to the fact that he was probably spending the long weekend holiday alone, he comforts himself with the fact that he has his microwave, plenty of popcorn and hot chocolate.  The storms outside ensure that he will not be going out over the weekend.  Paul, his roommate is very elusive and he hardly ever sees him, so Billy was surprised when Paul shows up and announces he’ll be there for the weekend too.  Now they have the time to get to know each other.  Turns out that Paul has some interesting ways of keeping warm over the weekend and Billy finds they have more in common than he first thought. 

This is a short read that will give the reader an insight into first love.  Two young boys discover each other and themselves in a very tender way.  Jade Falconer has a way with words that draws the reader into the story right from the beginning.  Her two characters are charming and sweet and their discovery of themselves, although highly erotic, is, at the same time innocent and pure.  Mrs. Falconer writes wonderful characters.  The reader can get right into their emotions and this reviewer, who isn’t usually a big M/M reader, did enjoy the sweetness between the two boys as they discover and act upon their attraction.  This reviewer believes that readers of M/M will enjoy this short story very much and new readers to the genre will equally enjoy it.
