Dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.
When Michael—Mikey—Fawkes bags himself a job as a handyman for a film production company and meets his favourite actor, gay porn star Colin Meighan, he believes his dream has come true. Colin indeed appears to be a dream turned to flesh. Handsome, young and as insatiable sexually as the roles he plays suggest, he makes his way into Mikey’s bed and introduces him to unknown carnal pleasures.
A slick lover and sweet talker, Colin also finds a place in Mikey’s heart. But, as Mikey lets his new lover lure him deeper and deeper into a world of decadent on- and off-screen sex, their indulgences begin to take their toll on Mikey. Curious to find out more about the strange and inexplicable effect Colin has on his sex partners, Mikey discovers that there is a terrible reason why one man alone can never be enough to satisfy Colin’s hunger and he realises that dreams can come true—but sometimes nightmares are very real, too.
Reader Advisory: This book is the first in a series with an ongoing story arc. It is set in the world of gay porn where the heroes enjoy a red-hot multi-man pile-up with secondary characters as well as some mild BDSM play.

Review:Mickey is down on his luck after being laid off again. He is home living with his parents, they want him to go to university, but he doesn’t want to. His uncle sets him up to do some handyman work on a porn set. He has the opportunity to meet his favorite porn star and sexual fantasy. He asks Colin out for coffee and Colin rudely rejects him. Weeks later Mickey is working on the set again. Colin is supposed to star in a gangbang film with four men and one doesn’t show. Phil the director asks Mikey to fill in. Colin tries to talk him out of it, but his sarcastic remarks eggs Mickey on and he goes for it.
This book had a lot going for it. It starts out very erotic, yet has an intriguing story with a bang of a twist. The sex is super-hot. You will need a fire extinguisher or two, yet even though it is porn, you never get the feel that it’s all sex and no story. There is a mysterious undercurrent from the start that keeps you wanting more. I also love the charming English accent that filters through.
I liked Mikey, though I truly would have liked to have known more about him. I never got a good feel of his description like I did Colin and the other actors, even though the story was in his view. I felt I had a better grasp of his parents than him. I liked how he knew he wanted Colin and went for it, though Colin made a point to tell him he was out of his league. Mikey held his own and tried to prove otherwise.
Colin, I loved his sexiness and mysterious vibe, though his description painted him as beautiful and sexy I saw him as tall and above average but not extraordinary. I even felt other actors exuded more sexiness in looks than Colin. This made me like him more, with his secrets and strange behavior. I think it gave him more of a sinister air.
I can’t say much more without spoilers, so get a copy, and see for yourself why I liked it so much. I am definitely going to read the next one soon.
If you like mystery, erotica, porn stars, gang bangs, lots of smokin’ hot sex scenes, and a surprising twist; this is for you.
