review 1: I like it, enjoy reading it, but I didn't get involved with it as much as I usually do with Mr. Erno's writing.It was the lack of emotion, maybe. Even though I relate to the discovery of the submissive side by one of the MCs, it still felt empty.I don't know how to explain it. I guess my expectations were too high, as I normally love his books.This one just wasn't that great for me.
review 2: 4.5 stars. The title The Landlord? Self explanatory isn’t it? But is it really. Not a question but more of an observation. There’s more to the story than just this mere title and I do digress there’s more to it than this title that first meets your eyes when glancing upon the cover of this book.This book is in first person and that person is sweet, tender Mark who fa... morells in love for the first time. His first boyfriend ever. He’s gullible really and almost ready to believe anything told to him. Almost. He falls for none other than Aaron. His Landlord of course. Aaron on the other hand, the tall handsome, blond jock and Mark’s wet fantasy dream confused me from the beginning to practically the end. He professes to being gay, doesn’t have marriage in mind and is not the family guy type to settling down with a wifey and kids. I wasn’t buying into it and I didn’t believe it. If such is the case why was Aaron having unprotected sex? With a chick of all things! His pretty little long time girlfriend of 5 years which by her descript held boyish attributes. Hmm interesting... Gets oh so much better... she visits on weekends and what do you think Aaron is doing with Her while Mark is living upstairs pining away for him? Getting his jig on and jizz out. To me Aaron is the sinner of our gay brethren. I do ask if you claim to be a fag how can you get it on with a chick? Although Aaron does get a few points for giving Mark a rose, showing Mark he’s his one and only, taking in quality time together and having a great weekend getaway till his phone rings. Ah, ah, ah not telling what happens then. The boy has some redeeming to do, but does he? :snickers: Not gonna tell. No fun it giving it all away. Now back to my sweet, soft-hearted, short and don't leave out 'cute' Mark as Aaron always refers to him as. I felt like a peeping Tom reading about his thoughts, his feelings, what turns his crank and what doesn’t. His personal rants to himself are precious, delightful and make this read more enjoying than many of the first person books I’ve read. I do digress I was quite disgusted in a scene where Mark gets his rocks off listening to Aaron getting his dick wet and visualizing the sex scene between Aaron and said girlfriend. I was rather traumatized by it. Took visualizing of my own creative thoughts to erase the words I skimmed out of my brain and washed clean.This is the first book of Jeff’s that I’ve read it without much further a do I regret to saying that with all due respect I have to admit that although I’m not a huge fan of first person stories that in this story the writing is superb, it’s explicitly detailed and professionally well written to the point that you’ll feel the voyeur into Mark's mind, what he's thinking and how he’s feeling till his angst and anxieties, his happiness and depression becomes yours by seeping into your pores. The story in the crux of it is Amazing! Jeff is a talented writer and I look forward to reading more books written by him. :two thumbs up: He’s renewed my interest in first person books by this book alone. For those of you who haven’t yet read it and sans that hetero sex scene of a few paras that are skip-able and skip-worthy, I highly recommend this book to you. less
