Ryan & Scott

review 1: This is a continuation of the story from the Curious anthology, but you can read it as a stand-alone. Ryan has to go on a business trip on his birthday. He's not impressed and Scott less so as he had plans. They are talking on the phone for hours and they've tried phone sex before and it ended up a bust. However Scott sent along some toys for Ryan and they decide Scott should read to him, the only thing they have that fits the bill is the phone book. There is lots of humour as they use innuendo over names in the phone book and eventually it has the desired effect. It was nice to see their relationship develop and it is just a fun read with a bit of a more serious note as Ryan deals with job insecurity and being away from so much and facing up to it. Oh and I adore the new ... moreDay Dreams covers from DSP.
review 2: 3.5 starsI won this book free from Amy Lane through Chris’ giveaway – so thank you to both of them for that! I entered the contest because of the author, who I’ve so far loved everything she’s written. So it was a pleasant surprise to realize this is story is a sequel to the really great story Shirt from the Curious Anthology. You don’t need to read the previous story – this stands alone just fine – but you can if you’re curious how Ryan and Scott met. It’s a great revisit to characters that are fun, adorable, and slightly geeky in the best ways. The set up is really easy and involves Ryan away on a business trip. Travel is a huge part of Ryan’s job and he has reasons, both practical and financial, that play into so much travel but neither Scott or Ryan are happy about the absence. While away one night Scott tries to spice things up on the phone but the results are.. well unexpected. This is just a quick story (30 pages with the DSP exaggerated font) so the characters have two brief sex scenes with a lot of snappy dialogue. As expected, the author delivers a cute and fun story that manages to be geek chic. Ryan is seriously cute when he gets shy about phone sex and Scott’s creative way of using the phonebook is both hot and adorable. The characters aren’t perfect, Scott is beyond vain, but it’s nice to see how these two create a solid, happy life together without the cliché perfection stereotypes. They feel honest in the best, most endearing ways. I’d give this one a 3.5 just because I think I liked Shirt better, but that’s just my preference. less
