Romance | Romance Erotica Sensual

Seven young people who repair cars share a very close relationship. Sally who came from a Utah commune is cool with polyandry so she doesn't mind six partners. But a Cuban boy, Alanso, who likes girls is confused to find himself also wanting Eli, nicknamed KING COBRA, whose family ran the youth shelter which attracted the young people. Experimenting in a park one night, Alanso concludes that he's actually bisexual. The Hot Rods are a tight group and Alanso finds them supportive, but Eli who can't deny that the idea appeals, doesn't want to find out that he's gay. He also doesn't want to alienate anyone or rupture the links that bind them. The kids were troubled and have spent years settling to a stable life. Agreeing to see if he and Alanso are compatible, Eli nevertheless also brings a girl home with them from a bar one night, shattering Sally's dreams. This is a short erotic novella, the latest in the Hot Rods series, which will appeal to those who've been following the team's adventures. Jayne Rylon has collaborated with Mari Carr on the two Compass ranch series, Compass Brothers and Compass Girls - the first of which is called Winter's Thaw.

SUMMARY

After Eli’s mother died, his father honored her life’s mission as a social worker by taking in several kids from the wrong side of the tracks. Not all of them stuck, but those who did became Eli’s quasi family. Their bonds, forged in fires set by their personal demons, are unbreakable—or so Eli wants to believe. Especially since he and Alanso, his best friend and head mechanic, witnessed the overpowering allure of polyamory while visiting the Powertools crew. Much as Eli would like to deepen the relationships among his foster brothers and sister in the Hot Rods Restoration Team, he’s hesitant to risk everything on a quick romp behind a stack of tires. But when Eli catches Alanso exploring their mutual fantasy at a known hookup spot in a public park, all bets are off. And Eli must decide if it’s time to jump in full throttle—and trust his instincts to guide him through the night. If the pair can dodge the potholes in their own relationship, maybe they can race together toward the unconventional arrangement with Mustang Sally they both desire. Warning: Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a wild (and naughty) ride!
