BOOK BLURB:
Nate and Cory are good friends and co-workers, but Nate wishes there was more to it. On a blistering hot Sunday, as the two are 'keeping hydrated' with plenty of beer, Nate hears the words: "... Heat. Seeking. Missile." Nate daydreams that's what Cory's hiding in those shorts often enough, but he's also sure Cory would never say something like that. Nate tries to cool down but his imagination keeps heating up. Is it wishful thinking or does Cory really have Nate in his sights?

BOOK REVIEW:
This story caught my eye with the clever title, and hooked me in with the first two sentences.

    "My cock is a Heat. Seeking. Missile," Cory said, pausing between the words for maximum effect.

    Nate's eyes flew open and he looked at Cory, who sat shirtless on the couch next to him, tiny rivulets of sweat dripping between the well-defined muscles on Cory's chest while damp, dark-blond bangs clung to his forehead."
Nate and Cory are watching football, it's hot, and Nate's daydreaming about Cory's cock, never dreaming that Cory has any interest 'that way' in him. So if Nate were to wake up from a nap remembering a really sexy encounter with his best buddy, it would have just been a dream, right? They're just friends, right?

This fun story is the perfect addition to your summer reading list. It's a quick, funny romp through a smoking hot sexual encounter. E.M. Lynley writes with such concise clarity that even in this very short story, you feel like you can see, touch and smell these hot yummy men. Written from Nate's point of view, I laughed out loud as he was sure he was having a heat-induced hallucination, because his buddy Cory would never have said THAT, would he? You have to like these guys.

It has to be hard to write a short story that catches your attention and makes the characters pop off the page, but E.M. Lynley makes it seem effortless. This story is a compact, beautifully written treat.
