Dean’s cheating former lover tries to
buy out Dean’s share of a vacation they planned together,
but Dean refuses to let him. Then the man strands him on
what he thinks is a deserted island. At first he’s angry,
but then he meets Nico…
Neil is extremely superstitious and
unlucky. He tries to hide his upcoming birthday from his
coworkers, but they find out and throw him a party, complete
with a male stripper. To Neil’s horror, the clumsy stripper
breaks a mirror. But the young man, the aptly named Jinx,
is very attractive despite his clumsiness…
Jinx’s friend Nathan has been lusting
after his straight roommate, Gage, for a while now. When
Gage complains that he’s going to fail a class, Nathan gets
the bright idea of stealing the answer key to the test.
Will they end up getting more than just the right answers?
Andy and Luke are both graphic
designers at an ad agency. They’re supposed to work
together, but they hate each other. Can they find a way to
work together before they both get fired?
Beautiful Boys is set up very strangely. It’s
divided into chapters like a novella, but it’s really a
series of interconnected short stories. All the stories are
quick and spicy, with fun characters and some unrealistic
but enjoyable scenarios. I especially liked the unlucky
Jinx and Nathan. I would have liked to read more about Dean
and Nico, because while Dean was developed Nico appeared out
of nowhere. My least favorite of the stories was that of
Andy and Luke, whose bickering began to irritate me, but
fans of love-hate relationships would no doubt love their
story. Overall, Beautiful Boys is a quick
read that, while lacking in depth, is full of fun and sexy
stories. |
