Product Description

Galen Frost is used to taking what he wants, and after years as a semi-pro football player, he wants to get away from it all, making himself a home in a small Florida town. Shane is a beach bum, good time bartender, living it up every night, never really looking at the same guy twice. Galen runs a bait shop, Shane works private parties, and the only thing they have in common is that they both like hot sex and a good time. When they meet at the bar one night, sparks fly, and the heat amazes them both, like the burn of good whiskey. They come together like rain on the ocean, whipping up a frenzy of weather, good and bad. Nothing is easy with these guys though, and they have to ride out the storm that breaks between them when Galen's old life rears its ugly head. Can Galen and Shane find shelter from the rain?

Waste of Money
Let's get this straight.

This book from front cover to back is all sex. Their is no plot, the characters all they ever do is have sex. The dialect is cringe worthy. Oh and don't forget the no 'plot' thing. A spoon has more depth than the characters written in this book.

I like my m/m erotica like the next person. But when their is a reason for it. The sex should be inter-woven into the story, not just plucked into every *single* page, and lets be honest the sex wasn't written all that well.

The sequel is just as disappointing as the prequel. I had bought them both together and I really wish I didn't.

Rain and Whiskey by B.A. Tortuga
This is one, I believe, of the first book by B.A. Tortuga; it's a clear example of the style that made so popular this author, fast scene, few words to describe the setting and a lot of sex. And it's not even a short book, more than 270 pages fit fit of words. But it's not only sex, there is actually a story behind all the sex.

Galen is a former professional football player who hung up his shoes and now is enjoying an early retiring in the warm Florida. He is easy and friendly, but a bit cautious when it's time to allow someone inside his life for more than a night. Shane is an happy-to-go bartender: he arrived in Florida some here before during a college break holiday and stayed when his friends went back; since that days he gains his day money and prefers his life to be easy and without commitments; probably it will arrive the day when he will realize that it can be an holiday all year around, but for now it's not time.

Galen and Shane's relationship begin as a one night stand, prolonged to a week end long affair to easily slip on a full time relationship, without both men even know how it happened. Galen like it a bit rough, the type of rough that leave bruise but that doesn't break bones, and Shane is not at all shy when it's time to let go during sex, and it's not scared by the forceful in Galen. Don't get me wrong, there is no really violence, maybe a passionate bite or a strong grip more than usual.

As I said, almost all the chapters begin at the same way, Galen and Shane in a new setting, a restaurant, a week end trip, a night on the beach, and then finish at the same way, with Galen and Shane doing it more and often. But the idyllic situation can't go on forever, and the real life makes his appearance, letting know to Galen and Shane that it's time to take a serious decision.

Hot Sex, Hot Romance, Hot Temper
Pretty good read; the sex is way hot, the romance is good, then Galen's ugly past rears its head and Galen loses his head and his temper. From that point on, I had some real problems with the way the book finished. First, the period of November through March is not LOW season in the Florida keys, it is HIGH season. Second, Galen persuaded Shane to come back home with him MUCH too easily and with no tears or breakdown by Shane (not credible). I think Shane would have gotten his stuff and gone back to the mainland, under the circumstances drawn in the novel; the two might or might not have ever seen each other again or reconciled. After the reconciliation, the rest was credible enough (and quite hot as well), but my dissatisfaction with that significant part of the novel downgraded it in my view to four stars. Pretty good read, but could have been a better plotline.
