REVIEW: Hot on His Trail by Zavo!!

"Jake Slater is a handsome Texas Ranger who’s fallen in love with the outlaw he’s sworn to bring to justice. Ben Masters is the equally handsome, red-haired outlaw wanted for killing a Texas Ranger in Abilene. Ben is on the run from Jake, determined to reach Silverton and find his ex-lover, the only man who can prove his innocence. But Sheriff Rawlins’ attraction to Ben sets off a chain of events that could end in Jake and Ben’s undoing."

Hot on His Trail by Zavo is a western that is not really a western, though some of the characters speak as if it was so...

The two main characters fall in love and I did not buy into it..

The writing is not bad, its not, Zavo is a good writer, but this story, in my opinion is not entirely well written. The characters actions are somewhat unbelievable  and all of the twists and turns the story takes are not that believable either.

There was a lot of sex, which was *mostly* hot, but it did become too overbearing.

At the end of the day, this book was not meant for.

REVIEW: Well-Endowed - The Making of Gay Porn Star by Donald Webb!!

"When high school football jock Matt and his best friend, Demsey, begin having sexual relations, Matt thinks of himself as just another horny teenager, but when Demsey’s dad seduces him, he realizes he has the face, body, and endowment that can drive men crazy. During his first year of college, he tries to maintain a straight façade, but he is unable to sublimate his constant craving for gay sex, eventually succumbing to his roommate’s advances. After a tryst on the beach with a soccer player, the thought of becoming a porn star begins to crystallize, but it is only after he wins the Mr. Eight Plus competition that he immerses himself in the porn industry. After a successful career in the porn milieu, he accidentally runs into Demsey, and the love they’d shared as teenagers is reignited."

Well-Endowed by Donald Webb is an erotic novel about a hot guy named Matt who has big dick and is completely attractive to everyone and really, really, like REALLY into/amazing as sex!

This was not a book for me. I have read a couple of "erotica" on friends suggestion, but those books has dynamic characters with interesting personalities - Well-Endowed really didn't. It was just about sex. A lot of extreme fantasy-fulfilling sex. Not much plot.

The title has "porn" in the title so I guess that's my fault for expecting something more...

Matt has sex with his friends' Dempsey's dad  & I was expecting something less inappropriate, but no, it was pretty extreme and graphic and completely unrealistic...most  of the sex.

Here's the thing: this book is not bad and I KNOW that there are a lot of people who would LOVE this book, but I didn't. Its that simple.

You like lots of sex with hot guys and jocks and dads and pornstars??

This is for you!

REVIEW: Anything For A Dollar by Todd Gregory!!

"What would you do to make a buck?

They are the objects of desire—dancing on the bar or on boxes at circuit parties, performing for either the video camera or their own webcams, or coming to you for a night of passion at a price.

But they aren’t gods. They are men with needs and desires of their own, fantasy men with fantasies of their own. Some of today’s top writers of gay erotica take on the notion of using your body to make a living—and the result is a collection of erotica so steamy it might burn your hands.

Handle with care!"

While I'm not necessarily into books about people selling themselves for money, not because I'm a prude, but because those books tend to be just a way for the author to write about people having sex, often violent and the story be damned, "Anything For A Dollar" manages to avoid this!

There were a couple of a odd stories that I did not like because they didn't feel authentic and I did not connect with the characters, but for 90% of the book, I really enjoyed everything!

The men in this book are people who are in need to for security and they are willing to have sex or fulfill fetishes for this cash, while struggling with their own inner turmoil that have nothing to do with their need for money. This fact most definitely helped make the characters both more complex and more likeable, because while yes, they often had sex with random guys because they liked the sex, they were also trying to "fix" something within themselves and that's what makes for a good read. The anthology and nearly every story had an actual plot, if not, a message of trust, identity, relationship, pain/pleasure and love.

The stories while having actual plots can get graphic and aggressive and strange, but it is to be expected. If this is not your thing, don't read.

I read the book in about three hours, so buy it and spend a rainy afternoon with it! Its worth the read!
