The story was just one sex scene leading into another sex scene then onto yet another sex scene. I was hoping it would have more story : (

Found this author thru a list on Goodreads and got the first two novels in this series. More like a PWP slash fanfic published in book format. It's entertaining, has a little too much swearing in it for me because by the end I was skipping entire sentences to get to the story lots of sex, a little romance and a very, very tiny plot.

Two guys meet at a bar, they jump each others bones, on Valentine's Day no less. One, a Marine, goes back to his base in North Carolina, the other a student nurse but with a few months to go before getting his degree. Fast forward three months, Alex got a job as a medic at Fort Bragg and goes to find Rock aka the Marine and well, they jump each others bones every single chance they get which is every chapters on this book. You take out the sex scenes, I think you are left with maybe 20 pages at the most.

If you are in the mood to read something like that, it's pretty good but for me it got old pretty fast. I like my gay romance with at least a little more plot.

This book was not for me. It wasn't bad necessarily, there was just too much sex for my tastes. I know *gasp* *shock* how is that possible? When every single scene is a sex scene. When the plot can fit in like 2 chapters. It didn't help that it was 310 pages. If it was half that I don't think it would've been so repetitive. I liked the characters for the most part. I didn't like a few things they did (sleep with someone else after agreeing to go bareback without telling the other, then agreeing to be "open" when he really didn't want to be). I don't get the obsession with condoms, but then frotting with no barrier. Fluid is still mixing! There's still contact! I liked Rig's parents. I liked the relationship overall. I just wish there'd been more depth.
