Product Description
When they meet at a bar one night, James "Rock" South and Alex "Rigger" Roberts figure they've found themselves a night of fun. The attraction burns bright for both of them, and when they head for somewhere more private, they're both amazed at how fast and hot the flames get out of control. Rock is only in Texas for training, though, and he leaves Rigger behind when he goes back to his life as a regular Marine. Rigger's not sure he's ready to be left, though, and he follows Rock eventually, showing up on Rock's doorstep with what little he owns and a smile. The two men, so very different but so very needy for one another, struggle to come to terms with their relationship, trying to make it work in a world where men don't love men, and if they do, they can't talk about it. Between the pressures of the outside world and the struggle between them to learn what it means to be in a committed relationship, Rock and Rigger threaten to tear each other apart. Do they have what it takes to stay together?

I FOUND THIS FIRST BOOK IN SEAN MICHAEL'S JARHEAD SERIES TO BE MY FAVORITE. IT IS WHEN ALEX MEETS THE TALL GOOD LOOKING, BLUE-EYED MARINE EVERYONE CALLED ROCK. THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO ONE ANOTHER AND END UP IN THE SACK, WHICH BY THE WAY ISN'T UNUASUAL FOR ANY OF SEAN MICHAEL'S CHARACTERS. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM HOT! ALEX FALLS HEAD OVER HEELS AND DEVASTATED WHEN ROCK HAS TO GO BACK TO SC WHERE HE'S STATIONED. HE WAS ONLY IN TEXAS FOR TRAINING. HE TAKES A CHANCE AND TRANSFERED(HE'S A NURSE) TO SC TO SEE ROCK AGAIN. ALEX TELLS HIS PARENTS HE'S LEAVING TEXAS BECAUSE HE CARES FOR THE MARINE. WHEN ROCK FINDS ALEX WHOM HE LATER CALLS RIGGER ON HIS DOORSTEP HOLDING OUT A PIZZA HE INVITES HIM IN AND THAT BEGINS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWWEN RIGGER AND ROCK. TWO EXCELLENT CHARACTERS. IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF SEAN MICHAEL'S BOOKS YOU KNOW HE IS ONE HOT, SEXY AUTHOR. IF YOU HAVEN'T LET ME INFORM YOU NOW HE'S VERY EXPLICIT IN DETAILING SEXUAL EVENTS, AND HE USES THE F WORD QUITE OFTEN. IT DOESN'T CONCERN ME BUT IF THIS BOTHERS A READER THAN LOOK ELSEWHERE FO READING MATERIAL. IF YOU ENJOY HOT EXCITING SEX THEN JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON BECAUSE THIS AUTHOR WILL DOLE IT OUT TO YOU 100% ANOTHER BOOK OR AUTHOR I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IS "BAREBACK" BY CHRIS OWEN! NOW THERE IS A BOOK YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.

The official reviews imply that conversation occurs in this book. This is not the case.
I bought this thinking that it was a gay romance story. It is, BUT it is a story that is very hard to grasp. Mostly because the characters spend most of their time having sex. Every scene in the book, but 2, is them having sex. It isn't exactly wordy sex either. The real story is in how they treat each other during sex, how it started, where they were doing it, and what they did when they were done. I thought it was an innovative and interesting way to tell a story (also, who calls hot sex a negative?). It was a little out there for me though. I need a little dialogue or even a thought stream or two, call me a traditionalist. Thus, 3 stars. Interesting way to tell a story, just a little too out there for me.
Disap 'pointing' Plot? What plot? July 15, 2006

I purchased this book back in April because I just recently became interested in these types of books (I'm a serious yaoi(boy love), and homosexually themed novels fan). I was a little disappointed, well more than a little. The book in my opinion is a PWP(plot?What plot?)Rig and Rock get together for one night and apparently Rig is so impressed with 'Rock's tool' that he leaves his hometown of Texas to follow after him. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of sex in my books and while the whole story is dripping with sexual encounters; it soon becomes monotonous, repetitive, and feels empty. I especially disliked Rock's severe case of "I'm a sex god and god's gift to men" type of personality which sometimes made it difficult for me to even finish reading the novel. All in all, I thought it was okay and I purchased another 'Jarhead' novel in the series but I guess I found the first one not giving me enough of an incentive to start reading it yet. I'll get to it eventually. I have read other works by Sean Michael and have truly loved them (Need, A Private Hunger, and a few others) which is why I did a search for his other books and found the 'Jarhead' series. I guess that's why I found this book lacking after reading some of his other works.

If you liked the other "Jarhead" books, this one is interesting because it tells how the two basic lovers, Rig and Rock, first got together. If you like the way the author writes about sex in his tales (tails?), you'll probably find this one way hot! The book puts about 15-20 % into plot line and about 80 % into sex scenes that are not soft-core. I didn't mind the sex, though it became much too predictable, scene after scene of the same thing, the boys into the same roles, never swapping positions or roles. Rock is, if anything, too stereotypical, but he's an awfully attractive (to some) and sexy dude. I wished the author had spent more time turning the characters into three dimensional figures and less throwing themselves into bed. Sex is a great way to start a relationship, but there has to be a lot more than that or it doesn't last. Decent read; I'll read the others. Not great literature.
