Passion sizzles between the two men as they fall in love. But Nate’s not the only guy in town who uses the boyfriend experience…
When a new gaming/internet café opened close to Nate’s work he was thrilled. The slogan of the venue “live your dreams in our private VR rooms” was simply too good to resist. Soon Nate is addicted to the “Boyfriend Experience” and is even more astounded when he meets the real man that his VR “boyfriend” is based on. Can Nate and Jason bring their virtual relationship into the real world?
I found this to be an intriguing and interesting short story. While I personally felt the first half of the story was a little slow – I can’t fault the author for adding so many rich details of the VR experience Nate had and the slow set-up of Nate and Jason’s relationship. The fact it started as a VR “game” or experience was central to the plotline and while I really felt the sequence of Nate and Jason getting to meet for real moved slowly I really feel the author couldn’t have sped it up much more without losing the importance of the plot. To be fair, with such a rich “history” between them, when Jason and Nate meet together in real life I thought the pace (and chemistry) skyrocketed and made the initial slow burn totally worthwhile.
While I normally don’t need complete realism in my reading – I love a good coincidence and vastly prefer a good plot to hard, cold, dreariness that is day-to-day life – I did feel that Jason flip-flopping between quitting then not-quitting was a bit unrealistic. I wasn’t sure why this bugged me so much, but when I really thought about it I felt it made Jason seem a bit flighty to me, like he couldn’t commit solidly to something once he’d made up his mind. I feel had the author really wanted Jason to stay in his job instead of quitting he should have simply had the argument with his boss, or possibly threatened legal action or forced his boss to put their agreement in writing – there are a number of other methods Jason could have stood his ground rather than quitting on a whim, then later accepting the boss offering his job back. The whole situation felt strange enough to me that it made me pause reading and really think hard about it – effectively jolting me completely out of the story and my enjoyment of the relationship potential between Nate and Jason.
With some seriously hot and smoking sex scenes the latter half of this story fills every promise of an explicit, raunchy M/M romance. There’s a small blip where Jason and Nate have to face the reality of their actions but their bond and attraction to each other soon has them finding their way together. With a deliciously hot and happy ending I felt this was a great, quick read with plenty to offer most readers. I found this to be a good story and one I really enjoyed.
