About this listen

Days away from high school graduation, with hardly a penny to his name, Evan Lowry needs to earn money for college. When he comes across an ad for modeling, he thinks his luck has changed - until he learns he's interviewing for an adult film and will be expected to have sex. On camera. With other men.

For gay porn star Brandon Court, the shine has worn off of regular shoots. He and his producer Les decide to try something new: a reality-show porno set at a beach house. When he meets wide-eyed and naïve Evan for the first time, Brandon isn't sure if he wants the kid to get lost or get naked. Naked wins.

On set, Brandon takes Evan under his wing, and over the next month, they are thrown together in every intimate way conceivable - except emotionally. Both Brandon and Evan are terrified of trying for anything deeper, and insecurities and doubts wear on their hopes, but the chemistry between them won't let them slow things down.

Any additional comments?

This is a lovely story about a jaded porn star who falls in love with a newbie/virgin. There was a lot of great sex and some pretty nice “feels” in this story. Brandon and Evan fall for one another pretty much right away and the only “hurdle” happens near the end when Brandon abandons Evan after the shoot – causing Evan to despair.

However – Brandon realizes his mistake and we get a solid HEA after all.

You definitely have to suspend your disbelief – this is not porn like anything I’d have seen or expected – definitely a rosy vision of the industry. But… it’s nice and the love story is very sweet.

Audio:

Jeff Gelder does a nice job with this. He’s not my favorite narrator and he doesn’ “move me” like some narrators do, but he tells the story in such a way that the story takes center stage, not the narrator.

Overall 4 of 5 hearts

Sweet "porn star" story, nicely narrated

Of course the book included amazingly written sex scenes. But there was so much more! The author included a love story with it's ups and downs (no pun intended), and descriptors that didn't leave much to the imagination. Kudos to the author for writing and producing such an amazing book (audio recording).

An incredible love story

The story was predictable and the narrator was painfully slow to tell the story. I found myself checking the cording to make sure it wasn’t stopped because of the miss-timed pauses.
