Book Blurb

Construction foreman Cody McPherson always considered himself as straight as they come. That is until he finds himself falling for the handsome stonemason, Sam Denham, that constantly occupies his thoughts. He wants Sam, badly, and can’t get the man out of his mind. Worse yet, he isn’t even sure if Sam is gay. When he finds out that Sam has signed up with a dating service searching for a guy who looks exactly like him Cody is even more eager, and confused than before.

Sam can’t believe that he’s developed a huge crush on his obviously straight co-worker. Even worse, the job that allowed him to see Cody on an almost daily basis has ended and he desperately misses his buddy in a way that goes far beyond just friendship. In an effort to soothe his aching heart and body, he tries to get a blind date with someone like Cody so he can pretend for just one night that he holds Cody in his arms.

When Cody himself shows up as Sam’s blind date, he is at once elated and afraid of having his heart broken by just another straight guy looking to sample the gay life. He wants to be so much more than Cody’s 1Night Stand and if he’s given the chance, Sam will do anything to prove that love doesn’t discriminate based on gender.

Book Review

This short story is almost pure erotica, hot from page one and with far more sex than plot. But it also has a very nice touch of emotion and the characters of Sam and Cody are clearly more than just fuck-buddies. Well, they have been friends before they discover they’re hot for each other. Now that they have discovered sex, they are still friends, and that’s part of what makes them such an adorable couple.

Cody is the one who has to come to terms with having developed feelings for Sam. He never expected to fall for a man, but he’s honest enough (or in lust enough) not to fight it. Also, this story isn’t really about any of the underlying issues he may run into, although some of them are mentioned. Sam does worry whether Cody is determined enough to stay the course, so to speak. He doesn’t want to be someone’s experiment (who does?) only to be ignored afterwards.

If you’re looking for plot, or a story about characters who deal with the issue of how some people see gay men, this is not your story. If you’re interested in reading about two men who have hot sex, if you like them to have at least some emotional involvement, and if you enjoy a very sweet epilogue, you may like this story.
