Book Blurb

Elias has worked so hard to get into shape, and it hasn't been easy considering he never met a donut he didn't like. His whole life is a pressure cooker, and love, his distant fantasy, is nowhere on the horizon.

When his best friend and roommate, Josh, talks him into a weekend getaway, he says yes but soon wishes he'd said no. Elias doesn't think he's ready for a trip that involves Gay Leather Pride Weekend at The Oasis resort in Palm Springs.

Elias is finally starting to feel good in his clothes. Can he really parade around in a leather anything, or God help him, naked in front of dozens of horny men?

Can he handle a pornado of a weekend?



First edition published by Silver Publishing, December 2010.

Book Review

This was such a fun book to read. Elias, who tries to lose weight, and his best friend Josh, who supports him, are a very funny pair right from the beginning. The opening with Elias watching a program about cupcakes while using his desk treadmill had me laughing out loud. The disgusting sounding, but allegedly super-healthy drink, Josh makes him consume was equally hilarious (especially since I didn't have to drink it).

As the two discover they might be more than friends, the book heats up considerably. I thought that one of the best features was the addition of “sex god” Samuel, who is modelled on a real-life porn star. I also loved the other secondary characters - from the hot guests at The Oasis to Elias's son Julio. And the twists and turns at the end kept me wondering how it would all end until almost the very last page.

If you’re looking for an entertaining read with interesting characters, if you prefer lots of tension and adventures in your romance, and if you’re looking for a hot couple and a hotter threesome, then you will probably like this novella.
