Review: This is a very short seasonal story, not creepy or haunting, rather a romantic erotica.
William is a chain restaurant owner and after many years, he comes back to his hometown to make a deal with the man whose pumpkins are legendary. What was meant to be a business deal though turns more…
Jared is young a gorgeous. He’s charm is strong enough to seduce even the pickiest of them, and William is indeed very picky. However, this little “roll in the hay” turns out promising something more profound, something both men ling for.
And while this little story started promising itself down the road, it managed to become one of those I really don’t like. The only part I truly liked and had a touch of wickedness, playfulness, and Halloweenish about it was the starting scene of their “roll in the hay.” That tattoo was a naughty touch.
But things started turning shady when the first sex scene ended and the second one followed. No, it wasn’t the fact that they went immediately in round two that bothered me, that happens often and it is often quite sexy. However, the second scene included fellatio on the member that a couple of minutes previously went bareback at an un-douched rear end. I’m all for kink, honestly, I love kink, but I’m not sure this was intentional or somehow was overlooked. It managed to make me feel uncomfortable with it, as rare as it is for me to feel so.
Moving on, what was meant to be a trick or treat turned into a love is in the air romance. Such a short story, so unrelated scenes and emotions, such a lack of chemistry. Yes, it was lustful but romance so fast, that is simply not my kind of cuppa. Instant love? I’m just too cynical for that.
