Reviewer: Prime

Review: This is a short, sharp and shiny story about ice hockey player, Marcus and potential recruit to the team, Justin. For what it is, given the short length, it’s a quick read leading to the characters meeting and their instantaneous attraction.

The ending is a bit ambiguous, although we can come up with any further conclusions on our own if we wish. The length and writing style lend itself to this ending without, me at least, becoming frustrating.

Quick and easy, it’s a good bit of entertainment for anyone wanting to read about a couple of hot hockey players.

Blurb: Seaman Thomas Musak has just arrived in San Diego to begin training in his new occupation. However, he realizes soon enough that training a new partner to share his rack is more fun than he ever could have imagined.

Seaman Jacob Lyriceman has just flunked out of Nuke school, and is now passing the time before his next big adventure begins. Becoming a Navy Seal requires stamina and a sense of adventure. Both of these characteristics make him irresistible to many. But, Thomas has the one thing he truly desires.

Review: Adams introduces us to Thomas as he flies to San Diego to start “A” school. Fresh out of boot camp and trying to get as far away from Army territory, Thomas soon meets Jacob, the only other recruit from their class. They quickly become aware of the attraction that connects them, deciding to spend the rest of the week enjoying the alone time they have left.

While this is not an amazing story (there are many and glaring plot holes and mistakes), nothing bad can be said of Adams’ writing. The author is quick to engage the reader, if not for the story itself than for the amazing description of the sex scene. That being said, I give 2.5 Hearts to this book, because I feel that while it’s not good (it’s not bad either), the writing really was the breaking point for me.
