I loved this story so much! Really, what could possibly go wrong with a plot like this:Nick Valenti and Sean McBrian are partners at the homicide department. Valenti and McBrian have been best friends for years, but recently Valenti realized that his feelings for McBrian go deeper than mere friendship, but there is no way to act on them. It's the early 1980s and McBrian is 'straight as an arrow' anyway. So, Valenti does have some troubles accepting their next assignment: Going undercover in aTime: Early 80sPlace: Ramjack gay resortTwo straight cops (parterns and friends) for six years are taking up a new assignment. They will pretend to be a gay couple in the country's largest and most infamous gay resort, Ramjack. They were the only ones that they volunteered since there are not out gay cops. Out to each other maybe, but not to their brothers in blue. Detective Valenti will play the sugar daddy role and basically the book is written from his POV. We learn early in the book that he
A really popular M/M romance story, "The Assignment", this is. I can see the appeal. It's a quick, mostly light (Valenti ignored the memo sometimes) and good read with great sex talk.The time setting for this story could not be more perfect, early eightiesI felt like I was reading a written cheesy eighties porno scene:Guy #1: "Oh no, I don't know how that penny got down there, let me lube my asshole and bend down on all fours, butt-naked and see how that penny fell to the floor!"Guy #2: "Hmm..."
So obviously looking for some spectacular plot in smut is like expecting good acting in porn. And I'm ok with that. Heck this was probably gonna end up being a four star cause I'm also very biased when it comes to GFY. Yes, I have double standards. No, I don't care. So the problem was, this was trying to hard to have a plot. I mean if you read this, you will understand. Stupidity 101. It was also going for BDSM, where I, someone who cringes away from that was just laughing out loud at the sheer
I had never heard of the "gay for you" genre - a story in which two supposed "straight" male characters develop mutual affection, love, and lust for one another. The setup - two lawenforcement "partners" are sent undercover at a gay resort, the appropriately named RamJack, in order to bust the drug kingpin that operates said resort.This book was fun to read based soley on the "gay rules" that the characters have to follow in order to stay "undercover". The dominant/submissive roles were taken to
I really enjoyed this book a lot! I have had it for a while, however I put off reading it for some reason, and Im not sure why...This is a story about two cops... Nick and Sean. They are exceptionally close friends. There are even some rumors going around the station that they are lovers... however Nick and Sean know better. They are just friends. Right? Their Chief asks them to go undercover at a gay resort in order to catch an extremely evil drug dealer who dabbles in murder on the side. Sean
I really wanted to give this book the benefit of the doubt but there is only so much I can look past in the books I read. I must say, I am all for crazy and over-the-top story lines where I have to suspend reality for a minute, but The Assignment went a bit too far for me. I LOVE friends to lovers story lines and especially when they are both "straight" and inexperienced - but Sean and Valenti did not do it for me. For one, there was miscommunication galore. Seriously, if your best friend kisses
