Review: 3  stars.  Slightly above average.  It kept my interest, but it wasn't as good as the first book in the series.

PLAYER AND THE PRUDE by Daisy Harris.There are several explicit sex scenes including rear door activity.  They were pretty good, but not as good as in the first book.  The story and characters were not interesting enough - for me.  Matt keeps running away because he fears his urges.  And he won't tell Brooks why.STORY BRIEF:Brooks has a promiscuous reputation, having sex with almost everyone.  Matt was raised in a religious community where almost anything sexual was a sin.  He is in turmoil about sex.  On top of that his urges are to dominate, hit, cause pain, and call his mate vulgar terms.  He thinks something's wrong with him.  In the beginning Brooks approaches Matt on a bet.  Then he becomes sincerely attracted to Matt.  Matt doesn't want casual sex.  He wants a relationship first, and Brooks is willing to wait.  So they date.It's about a fourth the length of a typical novel.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person.  Kindle count story length: 1,897 (518 KB).
