PULLED LONG continues the story of the family-owned Long
Shot coffee shop and the neighboring Mavericks, a
members-only sex club. Ian Long knows his sisters have
frequented Mavericks, but he's been too busy running the
coffee shop. Plus he's single and can't stomach the thought
of going alone. He had his eye on the flirtatious Blue Eyes
until Ian discovered Blue Eyes had an ex-wife. Ian didn't
want to be any man's sexual experiment so he focused on work
and let it go; that is, until Blue Eyes (aka Jeff) turns up
outside the coffee shop in the middle of the night. Things
get hot and heavy pretty quickly and what was once a
harmless flirtation looks like it might become a
relationship. Is Ian just setting himself up for a broken
heart?
I've started gauging how much I enjoy a story by how soon I
download the other books in the series. I had the first 2
Long Shot novellas on my Nook within 5 minutes of turning
the last page. I wanted to know how/if the relationship
between Jeff and Ian is set up in earlier books. PULLED LONG
was erotic and tender and heartbreaking and hopeful and,
lest we forget, hot. The relationship between Ian and Jeff
was genuine and complex. Ian's relationship with his father
and his meddling yet loving sisters added richness to the
story. Though short in length, PULLED LONG is a more than
satisfying story.
For months, coffee shop owner Ian Long has fantasized about
a customer he knows only as "Blue Eyes." Until he learns
Blue Eyes is in the midst of a divorce—the last thing
Ian wants is to be the rebound experiment of a straight guy.
Giving in to lust, he invites the man into the cafe after
hours and they indulge in a little exhibitionist play, but
Ian is unwilling to get involved.
But when he’s forced to
see Jeff again to return his briefcase, Ian finally agrees
to go out on a date. Dinner quickly becomes an erotic
encounter in a special room at the sex club Mavericks, and
Ian realizes Jeff satisfies desires he didn’t even know he
had. The more he gets to know Jeff as a person, the harder
it is to resist falling for him.
Jeff makes it clear he’s
interested in more than just sex. He wants to go public with
their relationship in more ways than one. But can Ian open
his heart, when he fears it will be broken?
You said you downloaded the others but can/should this be read as a stand alone? (Donna Antonio 2:37pm December 4, 2011)
Yes, it can absolutely be read as a stand alone story. I just liked all the characters so much I wanted to read more about them. (Maria Munoz 4:05pm December 4, 2011)
