BLURB:
“R.U.N. on the Folded Edge” is a gay erotic novella. Destiny comes for twenty-five-year-old Chuck Hendley the day his world is literally turned upside down during an amusement-park accident. There, he meets an extraordinary man, who might very well be Mr. Right. Chuck soon has the opportunity of a lifetime, when fame and fortune reach out to him. But years of disappointment have filled him with self-doubt. Will he find in time the inner strength to embrace love and become the man he’s meant to be?
REVIEW:
This is a brand new author for me. I loved his descriptive building of the two main characters, Chuck Hensley, a talented but shy singer with a tremendous voice, and Nick Walker, an out-going man who goes after what he sees and wants.
We first meet the two men on a roller coaster ride gone horribly wrong. We watch and continue on their journey as Nick pursues Chuck, who had just escaped from camping in Baha with his dad and new wife. Chuck invites Nick to his room for a make-out session and then we follow Chuck in his exploration of a chance at a meaningful relationship and the struggles that these men are challenged with.
Mr. Elwes did a great job of captivating my attention as I went along with their journey. I liked how he brought their pasts into play and how they molded into the story. There were several wonderful supporting characters that encouraged both Chuck and Nick. There were also some unique twists, that I never saw coming, that kept me entranced in the story. Unfortunately, for me at least, I was really getting into their story and was intrigued where it was going to go and BAM, it ended! To say that I was disappointed is an understatement! He took so much time building this intriguing plot and character development and then just left me hanging! My hope is that this is the prequel for the whole story but I have found no mention of a coming full-length novel anywhere. I hate doing this because I really liked what I read so far but I have to give this 2.5 stars. I have to say that, if I found it is a prequel or first in a series I would be giving this at least 4 stars so it really saddens me to give it such a low score.
