First, I have to mention I like Yaoi. But, I have limits.
Cody adores his older brother Mike. Whatever Mike does or wants Cody does and wants it too. So, when Mike says he’s gay, Cody does too. When Mike moves away to college, Cody follows him. Mike gets him a job at the gay bar where he works, but tells Cody to tell everyone that he only tops. This is to make sure no one lays a hand on Cody. Everyone laughs because Cody is the twinkyist twink anyone has ever seen. Moreover, it doesn’t stop everyone, especially Jared.
The writer portrays Jared as a predator, and Mike calls him ‘Wily Fox’. It’s worse when Cody is referred to as a plump chicken. Cody is extremely naïve even though he’s eighteen. He actually sounds like a boy throughout the story, which makes what happens uber creepy. Jared convinces Cody to have sex, but Cody is willing. It starts with Jared agreeing with Cody that the person on top is the top, even though that’s not the actual meaning. Jared conveys that he has wanted Cody ever since Mike talked about him, so it’s clear Jared is interested Cody, but he starts the relationship with a lie.
Cody acts childish throughout the book, he’s more like a six-year-old, and at one point the author writes that the two compare penis sizes and Cody’s is like a boy’s and Jared’s a man’s. Ewwww, gross. Cody's naivete isn't cute, it's set up to substitute as a child. That just indicates to me that this story was aimed more towards pedophilia than the other Yaoi books by this author.
One thought that crossed my mind is Jared desires Cody because he's young and innocent, like pedophiles like them young. As Cody grows older, will Jared still be interested in him or toss him aside? The kind of person Jared seems to be, 'a shark' as one of the bouncers called him, tells me, once Cody looses his cuteness, Jared will be on to the next young thing. Poor Cody.
The pov switched erratically throughout the story, for a short time it’s Cody’s, then Mike’s, then Jared’s and then the narrator’s interjecting their thoughts. It was confusing and unpleasant.
The random pov changes, and because of the squick factor of the personalities of Cody and Jared, I have to give this book 2 Stars. It just crossed a line for me.
