I can only wonder whether it’s all about love here or conditioned behavior. Then again, Liam shows this need to serve his Masters by cooking, cleaning, and such for them. I can only wonder about Liam’s issues if he feels safe in the arms of this whiny little brat. Kit is an angry 20-year old kid who shows very little interest in anything other than baseball. Also, I find it perplexing that Liam eventually talks about feeling safe in Kit’s arms. It is one thing to have a relationship between a younger man and his professor, but having this younger man picking up a flogger and mastering that fellow because Kit is apparently a super Dom requires too much of a suspension of disbelief on my part. Still, the authors manage to make him a pretty believable character with some charms despite his perpetual brooding.īut I’m a bit thrown off by the BDSM elements in this story.
Kit is a quintessential angry young man, a rebel without a clue, and under any other circumstances, I’d say that at 20, he should probably start trying to act grown up instead of a surly teen with a chip on his shoulders. Liam takes over from Kit’s usual lecturer when the woman goes off on maternity leave, and Kit finds that communicating visually with Professor Dalton is actually very fun after all.Ī part of me who enjoys those silly teen movies of the 1980s reacts positively to A Perfect Game. As Kit puts it: Jesus, the guy looked hot, hot with a capital Fuck Me. Instead of an ingénue played by Molly Ringwald, the love interest comes in the form of blond, tall, and hunky Professor Liam Dalton. All we need is a soundtrack playing New Romantics tunes in constant rotation and we are set as Kit broods and walks down the hallway of his college. Kit is also of the working class, so he doesn’t feel that he fits in with the rest of his peers.
Alas, he can’t just play baseball to pass his Visual Communications Studies course in Calvert Christian College in Providence, Rhode Island. We have Christopher Pennington, a 20-year old baseball wunderkind, whose problem is that he prefers baseball to homework. Noble Romance Publishing, $5.95, ISBN 978-1-60592-067-2īaseball, academia, and sodomy come together in A Perfect Game, a story reminiscent of those trashy teen movies starring Rob Lowe in a jockstrap, only with a gay bent. A Perfect Game by Jaye Valentine and Reno MacLeod
