Coach (Campus Cravings) by Carol Lynne

An All Amercan Boys story. Justin is the young coach of the high school football team. He is a good coach and he is gay. And these two things can't work in the little town where he lives, so he has decided to live in the closet and since five years he has not never had a lover. But his heart throbs for Luc, the father of one of his student. And now Luc has a stunning news for Justin: he is gay and he wants Justin in his life. But the town is not ready to have a gay coach near its sons...

Justin and Luc are very plain and simple characters. They fall in love, they make love, they decide to live together, everything in a smooth way without drama or trouble. Drama and trouble are outside their home and could be a difficult situation. But Carol Lynne has decided to manage the situation with sharp edges and all ends fine, like in a very american dream.

A short story from the new erotic publisher Total E-Bound. A good beginning, not extraordinaire, but satisfying.

Side-Lined (Campus Cravings) by Carol Lynne

I said this in my last review: Carol Lynne goes better every book I read. The first enstalment on the Campus Cravings series was enjoyable but not impressive. A good story, fast and simple, no much drama.

In this second enstalment, Max, Luc's son (Luc and Justin were the main characters of the first enstalment), is still grieving for the loss of Nick, his first and only lover till now. Nick is dead in a car accident and Max was behind the wheel. Doesn't matter that was not his fault. And doesn't matter that his relationship with Nick was not the same after two years. When he lose his lover, Max lose also the wish of life.

But something is changing in his life, he is dreaming of a commanding man, a man who has a clear face: his Greek history professor, Alec. And Alec is observing Max and he is only waiting for Max to stop mourning his lost lover. But Alec his not a common man, he likes to be a real Dom in his private life, he likes to be calling Babas (father) and to call his lover little man. He likes to take care and protect his man, he has also tattoed "protector" above his... penis! And he is jelaous like hell. But really his dominant behaviour only result in being a lot possessive and commanding during love and to take decision on Max's life, and Max discovers he like to be commanded by Alec. So everything all right, apart Justin, Max's adoptive father, and the slight age's difference betwen Max and Alec... Alec has more or less the same age of Max's father, Luc.

In this novel I read a little more character's investigation than the other novels and also the story seems to me better planned and developed. And it gives also a good anticipation for the next coming soon enstalment.

Sacking the Quarterback (Campus Cravings) by Carol Lynne

Third in the Campus Cravings series is the story about Koby, the new freshman college quarterback, and Julian, the conditioning coach. Koby is 18 years old but very mature for his age and Julian instead is 24 years old but an abusive past that prevents him from having a love relationship.

Koby is a good boy, with a strong attitude that allows him to face any adversity. He starts college with the knowledge that he has to do everything by himself, no help will arrive from his parents. When Julian hols out a friendly hand, Koby falls immediately in love for this gentle guy. But Julian has to overcome his past to be able to build something real with Koby.

Carol Lynne decides not to put too emphasis and angst in the story: you can imagine all but the tone of the novel remains light.

The story is enjoyable and the series begins to be a little funny: in this undefined american small town, every gay man manages to find his true love and gathers together with his friends... at the end of the series gay men will overtake on straight men!!! But it's not a complaint, on the contrary: I really want to read Demitri's story, but above all Rocco... from what Carol Lynne lets us now, this black/blue hair man promises to be a very interesting character!
