4.5 out of 5 ★'s
Jason has always been a geek, a red-headed geek at that.
High school was just a bad memory that he's tried to forget. To temporarily
escape a life that still isn't going his way, Jason attends a gaming convention
to meet up with his online WoW friends, hoping to catch a glimpse of the star
of the newest pitching game while he's there. And since what happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas, he books an encounter through 1 Night Stand. He's tired of
being unable to get a date and while this isn't love, it looks like a sure
thing.
Blake is now a professional ball player, but once his dream
of making the cut rested on improving his math grades with the help of his
tutor Jason. When Jason walks up for an autograph, Blake is ecstatic and
invites him to the spondsored party after the signing.
Jason shows up, but rapidly feels out of place surrounded by
jocks. All the insecurities of his youth he had thought he'd left behind come
roaring back and he heads for the door. But Blake catches him and they spend a
couple hours enjoying each other's company. All too soon the hour of eleven
approaches and they have to leave. Both men contemplate cancelling their
encounter to continue reconnecting with a friend, but decide to meet up the
next day instead.
Madame Eve's assistant Deanna Wadsworth brings together her
third couple in this loosely linked series. As with the previous offerings, her
characters are not just the standard geek/jock pairing. The characters have
quirks that make them uniquely hers.
Even though this is a 1 Night Stand story, it is not about a
one off. The sex is sweet and endearing. The men share a depth of caring not
often seen in short works without resorting to instalove. Jason and Blake can
now explore the feelings they had for one another, but were too young and
inexperienced to deal with before.
I always enjoy Ms Wadsworth's sexy, quirky tales of finding
love where you least expect it.
