Rain and Whiskey by B.A. Tortuga

[reviews_and_ramblings]

This is one, I believe, of the first book by B.A. Tortuga; it's a clear example of the style that made so popular this author, fast scene, few words to describe the setting and a lot of sex. And it's not even a short book, more than 270 pages fit fit of words. But it's not only sex, there is actually a story behind all the sex.

Galen is a former professional football player who hung up his shoes and now is enjoying an early retiring in the warm Florida. He is easy and friendly, but a bit cautious when it's time to allow someone inside his life for more than a night. Shane is an happy-to-go bartender: he arrived in Florida some here before during a college break holiday and stayed when his friends went back; since that days he gains his day money and prefers his life to be easy and without commitments; probably it will arrive the day when he will realize that it can be an holiday all year around, but for now it's not time.

Galen and Shane's relationship begin as a one night stand, prolonged to a week end long affair to easily slip on a full time relationship, without both men even know how it happened. Galen like it a bit rough, the type of rough that leave bruise but that doesn't break bones, and Shane is not at all shy when it's time to let go during sex, and it's not scared by the forceful in Galen. Don't get me wrong, there is no really violence, maybe a passionate bite or a strong grip more than usual.

As I said, almost all the chapters begin at the same way, Galen and Shane in a new setting, a restaurant, a week end trip, a night on the beach, and then finish at the same way, with Galen and Shane doing it more and often. But the idyllic situation can't go on forever, and the real life makes his appearance, letting know to Galen and Shane that it's time to take a serious decision.
