Favorites: Gordon Merrick

I was a junior in high school when I discovered this book at my favorite bookstore in the mall.  It took me weeks to build up the courage to buy it and once I had it in my sweaty pubescent palms I immediately concealed the cover art with a plain paper book cover which, in retrospect, was so obvious.  I don't recall the details of the story but I do remember some very descriptive s-e-x scenes which resulted in several dog-eared pages.  To my sheltered, hormone rattled teenage mind, this novel was my introduction to gay pornography minus the graphic images and bad soundtracks...instead, there were some titillatingly delicious well-chosen words and that was plenty fine for me.
