Shane Kelly can command an arena, but not the life being sold in his name.

In 1999, the nineteen-year-old lead singer of the Dream Boys must keep millions of fans believing he might fall for one of them. The truth—that Shane is gay—could threaten the band, the label, and everyone profiting from his fame.

Mike Cooper was hired to protect Shane—and quietly watch him. Months of forced proximity have created trust and attraction, leaving Mike caught between the employers demanding his loyalty and the young man whose trust could cost them both everything.

This is a wonderfully written story that seemed very real to me.  I could feel Shane's resentment that he had to hide who he was.  I could also empathize with Mike's position.  He was hired to protect Shane, yet he also had feeling for him that he wasn't allowed to acknowledge or show.  What will happen and how will this situation be resolved.  Read this very emotional short story to find out. 

Response from the author:

Thanks Bill, I'm glad you enjoyed the story :)

I almost felt as if this was a reading of something happening in real life.  You feel that this could have actually played out behind the scenes and no one ever knew.  

Real chemistry between the two leads, but with more than a few things to work out.

 

Response from the author:

Thanks! I was trying out a new genre to help hide who wrote it and it seems to have worked well, as no one guessed it was me and people still liked it :)

A very engaging story. The author carries forward the plot through dialogue, there is little description of places, but it's a choice that works, because it focuses on the two central characters, develops their growing relationship and highlights the obstacles in their path. An excellent story, the best so far of those I've read (more than half), I have no idea who the author is, except they're American and older (as pointed out by someone's comment on the map thing) which I'd never heard of and didn't find on Google. Well done!

Response from the author:

Man, those triptickets were the only way to get around before smartphones. I still have some paper maps from when I was an AAA member.  I'm glad you enjoyed the story.  I really did read a lot of the Boyband category on Nifty back in the day as the big Boy Bands of the time were my age... NSync and Backstreet Boys.  I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks for the review!

This story was about the way recording contracts are handled badly and one singer wanted to get to the bottom of it. Even though it was his former bodyguard that helped him get to that point, he still got it done. I recommend everyone to read this story to find out all the details behind what lead up to my review that I gave 5 stars. I want to apologize to the author for thinking I read it somewhere else. I know he wrote it and he is a fantastic author in his own rights.  Applause to @Myr!

Thanks Sherye, I'm glad you enjoyed the story
