Review: Colt has been on his own since he was sixteen when his already abusive father tossed him out on the lawn, literally, when he came out. Three years of making bad, but necessary, choices and Colt is finally in a good place. He’s in college, has a room in the dorms, life is actually pretty good. Then a night at a local club ends disastrously.

Waking up in the ER with no memory of how you got there, not to mention the hot guy you were watching is sitting next to your hospital bed, are things Colt should definitely be concerned about.

Chris is just a few years older than Colt, has a similar darkness in his past with his father and is also working his way through college to be a Paramedic. He notices Colt the moment he walks into the club, his clothing, his shy demeanor, everything about Colt says he should not be in the club. The two exchange a few looks and shy smiles across the club, thankfully, so when Colt gets into a little trouble, Chris is there to ensure he is okay.

The first story in a new series that has potential. Chris and Colt are smitten with each other from that first glance, that first shy, awkward smile. They have a lot more in common than either of them even realize until closer to the end of the book. There were a few things in the story that didn’t mesh, couple times the change from one thing to the next felt choppy.

But, overall, I really liked this book. I’m intrigued thoroughly… I want to know why the nurse in the ER called Colt by name, before she was told his name. I want to know what’s going to happen with Colt and his estranged mother. And I especially must know where the next book will take Colt and Chris.

There is definite chemistry that must be explored, and though the potential for a relationship seems rushed, it will make more sense when their pasts are fully revealed. Tortured souls tend to gravitate to each other, and I’m hoping they can help each other heal.

If you are looking for a new author or series with great potential,  a solid storyline and pretty well-developed characters, give this one a go.

Review: Dean was not a cowboy. He hated the country and just wanted to be near the ocean. His parents took him there every once in a while. Here he was a gay kid in a town that is not exactly open to his kind it would seem. On holiday, he gets to spend the time at the ocean, but to his shock he finds love also. It would seem Riley was just as interested as he is.

It is a cute little story but it is told to fast for me. There is no real draw in it. I was a bit disappointed in the story. It just seems to be missing that zest for me to love it.

Like I said it is cute but too short for my liking. It actually comes off as if this author is new to writing.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: This is a short and sweet story of an Aussie country boy who longs for the surf and just about everything else the coast has to offer.

Dean is an eighteen year old from country Victoria and absolutely adores the fact he is on holiday at the beach with his parents. Doesn’t quite so adore the fact it’s only for a couple of days. Add in the fact that he has yet to come out to his parents… he’s got a complicated life. One day on the beach he meets Riley, he’s a young up and coming surfer and the two just click.

For the length that this story is, it is quite a good and enjoyable story. Part of me wishes there could be more words devoted to these guys because I couldn’t say that their attraction was smouldering or sizzling, it was definitely cute and has a lot of room for potential.
