"A sensitively told story and a new to me narrator who did a good job." Lesetiger listened to Str8 B8 and shares their review.
From the blurb:
Work has been a little hard to come by recently for builder Tom Ryder. When a friend tells him about the wad of cash he got for starring in an adult video, Tom seizes the opportunity. Besides, his friend said his co-star was really hot, so Tom is definitely not seeing a downside.
Until he arrives for the shoot and finds out his friend glossed over one important detail—Tom’s co-star is a guy.
Denny Bailey is only a few months away from finishing the dissertation for his master’s, but that doesn’t mean he can’t find time for his ‘other’ career, especially when it helps him pay off his student loans and keep body and soul together. Life as an adult performer is fun, there are no strings.... What could be more perfect? And this latest arrival is definitely ticking most of Denny’s boxes, even if he is a skittish straight guy. That’s fine. Denny can handle that.
Until the next day when Tom Ryder walks into Denny’s favourite coffee shop—and he isn’t smiling.
All it takes is one afternoon to change both their lives, in ways neither of them could ever have imagined....
Lesetiger's Review:
I liked the story and the writing style was wonderful as well. The topic of the adult industry and its performers was sensitively told by the author and I got as a listener a unique look behind the scenes.
It's about Tom and Denny. One has been in the business for a long time, the other joins in because life is not particularly kind to him at the moment and he is in a financial bind.
When the two meet for the first time, something clicks. And actually Tom is straight and the first shoot was based on a misunderstanding. Denny and Tom spend more time together and get to know each other. I liked the two of them, they are hot and each of them have great friends.
But Tom has a lot of doubts that I didn't always fully understand, because he already has some queer friends.
The story kept me entertained I really wanted to know how Denny and Tom's story ends.
As for the narrator, it took me a bit at first to get comfortable with Seb Yarrick's narration style. But then it was a good fit for me. Maybe I just needed to listen in a bit. I could distinguish the different characters well and I think Seb did a good job.
