Those Boys

You know the ones…  Those beautiful boys you want from the start… Those delicious boys you just can’t say no to… Those rough-around-the-edges boys you give in to, again and again and again…

These are the kinds of boys we meet in Alison Tyler’s Those Boys.  Those rough-and-sexy boys that make you want to smack your lips with hunger, the boys that make you realize that Vanessa is one very lucky girl. But Sandy and Rem are more than just page-candy, they are solidly-built characters, and even in a short space, the author takes the time to fully flesh them out, giving them personalities and quirks that are distinctly their own. 

The story is narrated by Sandy, told through his voice, and you notice at once that he is fully aware of the individual needs of each of his pets, and able to respond accordingly.  He is patient with both Rem and Vanessa, when patience is called for, and he knows how far to push them, taking from them what they have to offer and giving each what they truly need.  While Sandy's desires drive the story—as you might expect from a true dom—equal attention is given to the experiences of Rem and Vanessa, and this character building is one of the things that make Ms. Tyler’s stories so compelling.  There are real relationships here, and the characters share a full range of experiences and emotions as this luscious trio works to build their relationship which—as we’ve come to expect—includes lots and lots of steamy sex.    

Those Boys is a sexy follow-up to Those Girls and while it’s not necessary to read the first story before reading Those Boys, it is definitely worth the read. Rumor has it that Ms. Tyler is working on a Sandy-based novel and (like so many others) I, for one, cannot wait!
