Product Description

Seven homoerotic stories of romantic and passionate encounters and deliciously sexual rites of passage.

In “Braad Skips Rope at the Bear Festival,” the village males who have reached the age of eighteen compete in a jump rope contest upon reaching their eighteenth year. The winner is initiated into the Ursine Priesthood, a high honor, but the youths are not aware that the initiation is quite public and very homosexual. Braad learns the truth before the festival, which inspires him to give the contest his utmost effort.

In “Kenny’s Key,” Dan’s lover throws him out, so Dan goes on a vacation in the Florida Keys. Sailing in one of the hotel’s sailboats, Dan discovers that his sailing skills are nonexistent and ends up stranded on a tropical island. But the island is not deserted. This is Kenny’s Key, and Kenny offers Dan a whole new life.

In “The Solipsism of Narcissus,” Derek, a lonely man, bicycles to a nude beach where he meets Jules, his double. This sun-drenched and dream-like encounter leads to passionate lovemaking in Jules’ converted barn home.

In “Blazing Bicycle Seats,” Mark sets off on an early morning bicycle ride, and due to his reckless behavior, ends up avoiding another rider by taking a header in a blackberry patch. However, the handsome stranger, Brad, is happy to pull the thorns out of Mark’s ass. The situation develops into a series of sexual escapades.

“Each Sacrifice Brings Its Own Reward” is inspired by a short story by E. M. Forster. Joey Dan saves his religious fanatic sister from a motorcycle gang by offering his own sexual favors in exchange. He is surprised by the alacrity with which the bikers accept his offer.

In “Rode Hard and Put Up Wet,” a former “emo boy,” inspired by Brokeback Mountain, signs on as a buckaroo on an eastern Oregon ranch. His first task is to ride the purple sage and find Johnnie Valdez, who opens him to the mysterious ways of the buckaroos. There are no lonesome cowboys here because the nights in the bunkhouse are filled with fun.

“The Dream in the Heart of the Forest” is set in the remote mountain cave where Billy has been hiding from “the people” for a decade. However, when Russell gets lost on the mountain, Billy, along with his animal companions, must rescue him, and Russell rewards Billy with the best time he’s ever had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!, December 22, 2011
This review is from: The Dream in the Heart of the Forest (Kindle Edition)
I loved each one of these stories, but for different reasons. I loved the animal companions in "The Dream in the Heart of the Forest," and I could not help but empathize with the terrible loneliness of the main character. "Kenny's Key" had a similar plot, with interesting characters and animal companions, but the mood was so different. Both stories have to be read for their own merits, not just for the sexual content, which is hot, hot, hot.

"The Solipsism of Narcissus" was philosophical, haunting, and magical, while "Braad Skips Rope at the Bear Festival" is a wild fantasy and, in my opinion, contains the most sizzling homo-eroticism in the book.

"Blazing Bicycle Seats" and "Rode Hard and Put Up Wet" are both loaded with explicit sex and sexual tantalization, one being set on a bicycle path and the other on the open range.

I thought that "Each Sacrifice Brings its Own Reward" was the most fun story in the book. I laughed all the way through it. How is it possible to find a story a total sexual turn on and riotously funny at the same time? David Holly manages to accomplish that feat in at least three of these stories, but "Each Sacrifice Brings its Own Reward" tops the list.
