This book started out okay, but quickly took a turn that left me very uncomfortable. I understand the suspension of disbelief, but this story went way beyond that. I just do not find it even remotely believable that Casper, who was so tormented by his two high school bullies that he attempted suicide, would allow himself to be blindfolded and tied up for sex of any kind by someone that he'd even remotely suspect to be one of them.I wouldn't recommend this book, especially to anyone who has any type of issues with consent related topics. Tags: Erika Pike, m/m, groping, college, teasing, attempted suicide, crushes, best friendReview:Hot Hands is a very short story. I start with that piece of information because it will limit what I can say in the review. Casper is a college student. He is living with his best friend. He is happy at college except that his tormentors from high school are in the same college in the same program. He also has a “groper” who is driving him nuts. Every time he lets his guard down, the man with the hot hands grabs his butt and massages. It is funny and a little disturbing. Casper handles the situation with alacrity and decides to keep detailed notes about each groping. He wants to know the identity of the groper. He finds out the identity and then has to deal with the possible repercussions. I laughed out loud. I felt bad for Casper’s high school torment. I wanted Casper to get justice for the injustices done to him. If you want lots of detail, this isn’t the book for you. If you enjoy a quick look into the lives of the characters, then you will probably enjoy this story. I will definitely read more of Erika Pike’s stories if they are this snappy and well written.Quotes:Over the next few days I became an expert on hands. I immediately ruled out girls, and guys with small hands. The college, however, is big and there are countless guys with hands large enough to be ‘possible’.

I wasn’t about to ask my best friend ‘hey, have you been fondling my ass lately?’ Location 61Rating: 4 out of 5 stars (because when it ended I shook my Kindle because I thought it was lying)Book received from author as part of giveaway on
