Heller's Reviews > Sweet Young Thang

2.75

This was okay. Very readable but nothing really stood out for me in terms of either the characters or the storyline. I liked Collin and Eric but there were a few things that didn't work for me here:

(view spoiler)[
The pet names. Sweet thing, sweetness, sweet baby, my boy, sweet boy, etc. That really started to get to me after a bit. I can take one or two but anything "boy" really grates for me.

The age difference. Usually this isn't a problem for me but this was verging on not working for me. I'm not quite sure why this time it didn't really jell. Maybe because of the constant emphasize on how Eric is old enough to be Collin's father. He's 15 years older, so technically I guess so but realistically no...he's not.

I also didn't enjoy the Sebastian/Collin confrontation. I thought the Brad blowjob issue had been put to bed two books ago. I was surprised to see it revisited.

I liked seeing Brad/Sebastian and Paul/Trevor. I really enjoy those guys so it was nice to have brief cameos. The frat boys? Love them in all their "sensitive" glory. There are more stories to tell from the frat house and I'll look forward to those but this installment wasn't a favourite.
