Publisher's Summary

Two dudes walk into a bookstore.

Tristan knows he's got issues. His latest ex-girlfriend knows it too. He can't blame her for dumping him - even though she gets her brother to do it for her. Since he can't stop staring at said brother's package, he figures it's about time to put a label on those issues. He likes guys.

He heads to a local bookstore with what he's sure is a foolproof plan to find someone to show him what he's been missing. But who should crash his little adventure? Officer Michael Truax, who gave him a really expensive ticket back in high school for skateboarding without a helmet.

Michael has been trying to catch Tristan for years, to give him a second ticket. Suddenly faced with "Sparky" all grown up and looking to get laid, Michael's protective instinct kicks in - and presents him with an opportunity that's hard to resist. After all, the kid must know what he's getting into, so why not?

But when a man with a plan connects with a man with a hunger, the result is nothing short of explosive.

fine story, weird narrator

I'm a fan of this author's work, but like many of their books, you have to appreciate it as a sort of period piece.

The audiobook was published in 2016, but the book itself was released in 2008. It is VERY 2008, with it's casual, seemingly acceptable homophobia from the character's family, to the predatory characters completely forgiven by the end, to the uncomplicated view of the police's role in "serving and/or protecting" communities.

if this had been published in 2022 I would have enjoyed it 1stars worth, but as a product of it's time, being nearly 15 years old ...it was alright.

the narrator was odd. not too much variation between characters, very little change in the emotional intensity between scenes. and the r rated scenes were very awkward. I skipped them. but at least his voice was unique and he didn't have any annoying habits that made it unlistenable. I listened on 1.25 speed for most of it, but that's just my preference.
