When B-list syndicated TV star Lucas runs into Gaming-goth-geek Trent in the hotel bar the night before the convention starts, he isn't expecting to become attached. And since Trent is obviously out of touch with television, Lucas figures he's safe using his 'con name', Bill Speare. When Trent-- Mainstream Video clerk and goth with big dreams--meets a stellar hottie who seems to be into him, he goes with it, happy to be free of his recent dry spell. But one night turns into so much more, and when he finds out that his very temporary lover has been lying to him about something as unimportant yet vital as his name, he gets... miffed. Thanks to a new acquaintance, Cindy Lou, Trent works through his anger in a drunken evening, and when he finally goes to see Bill --Lucas-- he's figured it all out. So has Lucas, and the two men do what comes naturally to them, but can they come to an explosive and enjoyable conclusion?… (plus d'informations)

Recently I read another geeky/hunk story that didn’t respect the usual rules of romance making the geeky a willing bottom and the hunk an eager top. Conventional Wisdom is maybe on this line, but it adds also an element more, the Cinderfella factor.
Lucas / Bill (Bill is the name he uses when in incognito) is a tv fiction actor who was invited to a Sci-fic convention. He is not sure what to expect, and to add to a less than eager mood he has also had yet another confrontation with his family, who don’t accept his homosexuality. Plus Lucas, playing the heartthrob for the fans, can’t live openly his being gay and so he has no outlet, not in his private than public life; he is so repressed that it’s 2 years that he has not had a same-sex relationship, worst he has also had to fake a straight relationship for the media. So when Lucas meets Trent, openly gay and clearly willing, he is ready to accept the risk to have a weekend long affair in the hotel where the convention is held.
Trent is a penniless video store clerk with a passion for video game. He is gay, goth and cute but in a mousy way. He also has no idea who Lucas / Bill is, and sincerely it doesn’t matter: when the handsome man nears him in the hotel bar, Trent doesn’t think twice to grab the chance. There is a bit of Cinderfella here, with Lucas being in an hotel suite and Trent having to share a twin room with another friend: when Lucas is willing to share his suite with him, and above all his bed, Trent doesn’t look the gift horse in the mouth. And if Bill is a little reticent with his life and work, well, since he is not at all reticent in bed, even that doesn’t matter. Trent is not searching for the love of his life, yes, he maybe is a little bit dumbstruck with the situation, but he is willing to play along. I found endearing Trent’s behaviour, his outbursts of sincerity soon followed by a sudden blush when he realized what he has said, Trent seems to be a really friendly, nice and happy-to-go type of guy, not the usual mourning goth guy.
Probably the most interesting thing of the story, aside the sex that is good and nice, it’s the setting. Clearly the author knows about conventions and what happens during it, and having chosen to set the story in the Washington D.C.’s area helps even more in making all the situation realistic. The author also chooses to not give a clear answer on the eternal question “how can a public persona comes out without losing his fans”, maintaining the story more on a light level: yes, maybe Trent and Lucas are more than occasional lovers, yes, maybe there is even love between them, but all this will be cleared in a following moment, maybe with time and acquaintance, when they will be sure that it’s not only a weekend fling.
On a final note, I would be more than interested in reading Cindy Lou’s son story, since her mother was a very nice character.
