Blurb: Out and uninhibited Ian McVeigh has been playing the field for years, so he can’t fathom the unexpected desire and feeling of protectiveness he experiences when he first sees rugby playing, unemployed David, his boss’s newest and most delicious-looking squeeze. David Kelly is a hustler, and he’s way out of Ian’s league. He’d never look twice at a guy like Ian, a guy with little means to woo the needy but to-die-for David.

Yet one day, David not only looks, but also touches, flirts, and all but invites Ian to lure him away from his sugar daddy. But David can’t let anything break his carefully constructed walls. Ian doesn’t know much about David’s past, and what he doesn’t know could hurt them both.

Ian says David’s past doesn’t matter, but when he sees David with another older gentleman, he immediately thinks the worst. Both men must embrace honesty or lose each other for good.

Reviewer: Gigi

Review: The title is a bit purposefully ironic. If stereotypes are correct, you don’t expect much from a sports minded twink, and a hustler at that, but Ian is in for a surprise, David has a deeper side.

Ian, a set director who’s just about had it with his boss, finally pushes too far and risks losing this gig by stepping up to defend his bosses latest boy-toy. Defending David not only sparks that attraction, but even lands Ian a new role on set, director, while he utilizes David’s hidden talents as a would-be designer.

This is a deeper read in that both characters have sophisticated stories, flaws, and strengths that I didn’t guess at. David’s sacrifices and sensitivities makes Ian look at himself deeper, and to take stock of his life and his goals. Ultimately, David and Ian have the kind of stuff that makes a great relationship, the ability to utilize and spotlight new strengths in each other.

My Rugby-Playing Twink is not light fare, but a deep and enjoyable read. The writing is smooth, well-edited and the plot fast paced and interesting for many reasons, the least being the sport of rugby or the art of set design.

Grab it and enjoy it!
