Rating: 4 out of 5

The first thing that I want to say is, there isn't any get my straight friend drunk and rape him in this story. I saw what another reviewer wrote and I have to admit if I had seen the review I wouldn't have read the story cause that isn't my thing. However, I can see how this reviewer got confused because they didn't read the story.At the very beginning there is a part that talks about a gay man sitting across from his straight friend who is only in a blanket cause he showed up in the rain. The straight friend is drinking alcohol and confessing his life story but the gay friend isn't paying attention because all he can think about is getting the straight friend to bend over for him.What this is, is a story prompt. Fans send a scenario to an author and the author writes a story around it. There is even a photo prompt. The problem is right after the story prompt, the blurb for the book starts, and directly after that the book starts. There isn't enough spacing between all of that and I had to reread it a couple of times to figure out exactly where the story begins.I don't want to say much about the story because it's short and I don't want to give anything away cause I hate when other reviewers do that.I will say it was well written and there were sweet moments and passionate moments. It was well written and believable. I can say that often times stories are a little unreal and that's ok because sometimes that is why we read them. We need to suspend belief and believe the impossible, like Disney fairytales instead of the brothers Grimm.However, these characters are very realistic and you can see the events in a that could probably happen way.It's a free read as I am reading this, so go ahead and read itI will be looking for more of this author's work.
