TITLE: My Rugby Playing Twink

AUTHOR: Jamie Samms

PUBLISHER: Dreamspinner Press

LENGTH: 196 pages

BLURB:2Out and uninhibited Ian McVeigh has been playing the field for years, so he can’t fathom the unexpected desire and feeling of protectiveness he experiences when he first sees rugby playing, unemployed David, his boss’s newest and most delicious-looking squeeze. David Kelly is a hustler, and he’s way out of Ian’s league. He’d never look twice at a guy like Ian, a guy with little means to woo the needy but to-die-for David.
Yet one day, David not only looks, but touches, flirts, and all but invites Ian to lure him away from his sugar daddy. But David can’t let anything break his carefully constructed walls. Ian doesn’t know much about David’s past, and what he doesn’t know could hurt them both.
Ian says David’s past doesn’t matter, but when he sees David with another older gentleman, he immediately thinks the men must embrace honesty or lose each other for good.
1st Edition published as Irish Lovers: Ian and David 1-3 by LoveyoudivineAlterotica, January 2011.

REVIEW:        

I enjoyed the cover of the book and that made me look at the blurb more carefully.  I liked what it had to say and thought to myself, self…you could read this and enjoy it. I wanted to see, how these guys got together.

And enjoy it I did.  I have to say that I liked this cute and at times heartbreaking story was worth the time to read.

David is just this cute lil thing who knows who he is.  He’s an attractive, talented, rugby player who allows himself to be viewed as a twink.  He’s actually not technically a twink, but that’s the persona that he puts out.  He knows his rugby and he knows about set design, which is actually the job that he was to interview for.  But alas, things did not go as planned.

Ian is this great guy who knows that he wants David. Ian is very good at what he does and he’s a great guy to work with. He’s kind, caring, sarcastic and good looking.  He’s getting to the point where he wants something more than a one off.  He thinks that he’s as lucky as can be that David wants him too, but he never thinks that David will stay with him long-term.

I liked that this story had a couple of twists and turns in it.  Things that nothing that you originally thought was what it seemed.  I do love a story that actually keeps you guessing a bit.  This story was again a great lil read.  I enjoyed it very much.  I actually thought that for it’s length, it was such a great read.  I got just enough details into the very charismatic characters to see who they were and what made them that way.

This was such a solid story.  I was actually amazed by this.  I’m usually one for long books, over 200 pages, yet for a book that wasn’t as long, I still found myself so invested in both the characters and the storyline.
