He Scores by D.J. Manly

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Terry lived in a little town in Canada. Even if Canada could be a little more open than other country, being gay in a little town is the same all over the world. And so Terry is the object of all the bad jockes in high school. He is only waiting to be eighteen years old and to leave for Toronto and the anonymity he will find and a big city.

And then Adrian, a twenty years old hockey player, young but just a champion, comes in town. He has inherited an old house just outside the town and wants to renovate it. And Adrian is a good guy, gentle and friendly, and gay... And so the last summer for Terry in his hometown could be also his first summer as "man" while he discovers love in the arms of Adrian.

But Adrian is not out and he cannot be out to the risk of losing his professional carreer and he has also a destructive relationship with a teammate that he claims to love. Adrian is very clear and open with Terry, for him it could be only friendship between them and sex, yes, but not love. Between the two, even if Adrien is more sexually experienced, it is Terry who is the more mature in understanding his feelings. It's Terry who accepts what he can have from Adrian, and it's Terry who asks forgiveness to Adrian when his feeling becomes too strong (!!!) and it's Terry who sees clearly how Pierre, Adrian's lover, really is.

D.J. Manly is very "male" in his stories. When I read one of his novel I always feel that the characters are driving first by their bodies and then by their heart. Love without sex is not taken in consideration and the way he describes his "men" is always very physical. And as always his novel flows smoothly and in a bit, and in the end you will want more.
