Keeping the Boys Home: Volume 1

by Vera Saint-Luc

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Publication date : December 31, 2013

This is a collection of four short stories. These are sinful, taboo, and very steamy stories. They all involve some hardcore actions between brothers, stepbrothers, stepsons, and stepfathers. Some readers might find a few things offensive like non-consensual sex. so be warned. 

Lassoed By His Big Brother:
This is the story of two brothers working on their family ranch. The elder brother (Tom) is the boss of Grant, the younger one (the narrator of the story). Tom decides to teach his younger brother a lesson when he knows that Grant did not do the job he asked him to do. I was so turned on by this story. I mean right from the first story the heat level was extreme. I was not expecting that! This has two big taboo themes, incest, and rape. It is the only story in the collection that has real brothers having incestuous sex. The remaining stories are all about stepbrothers or stepsons. The sex starts with rape but then Grant starts liking it a lot even though his big brother still uses force and humiliation. The dialogue between the two characters is sleazy and nasty with lots of slurs. “”You’re filthy. You’re disgusting. I can’t believe you want your brother’s cock. What kind of depraved slut are you?” “A disgusting, filthy one…” I moaned, pressing my ass back into him, screaming as his cock went deeper than it ever had before.” A virgin boy being raped, deflowered, and fisted by his own brother! Sounds too much? Then maybe this is not for you! The ending does not say if this will be repeated again but I guess it will.

His Dad is a Mystic Sex Warrior:
This was a completely different story. It is more of a fantasy. the stepdad (Bill) is fighting some monsters. His stepson (Terry) finds out that Bill is some kind of a guardian assigned to their realm to guard it against threats. After slaying two monsters the only way for Bill to get rid of the monsters’ toxic energy he absorbed is through implanting his seed in another living being! And that living being would be the stepson as nobody else is around at the time. The two make beautiful love to each other. Again the dialogue in this story is explosive. This is a happy ever after tale as the boy promises his dad to make himself available whenever his mom is not around and his dad needed him.

Humiliating His Hipster Brother:
The story here is between stepbrothers and as the title says the elder brother (Kyle) wants to teach his younger brother (Teddy) a lesson for being a hipster and a spoiled kid. But instead of doing it alone, he seeks the help of two of his friends, Gary and Sanchez. The three together will abuse and humiliate Teddy. The story has themes like ball shaving, rape, humiliation, fisting, and spit-roasting. Again this one might not be suitable for everybody but if you are OK with some of the trigger warnings then you are going to enjoy it. I love how this story ended with the younger brother winking at his big brother saying he will get his revenge one day! I know the kind of revenge he is thinking about. 😁

His Cowboy Daddy:
Twenty-two-year-old Tommy just finished college but is struggling to find a suitable job. His stepdad offers him a job on his ranch in Montana. His father cares about four things. “To live out here, a fella’ gotta’ know how to do three things. Four, actually. Drink, ride, shoot… And fuck.” Three he could do already and now since Tommy moved to the ranch the fourth thing is also available! In this story, there is no struggle. The two men just melt into each other’s arm making out and doing all that they needed. The sex is great, sometimes tender, and other times rough and sleazy. The story has a beautiful ending I’d say where you feel that the dad and his son will be lovers forever! “I’d be exactly the kind of man he felt needed out here on the ranch. I’d drink with him. I’d ride with him. I’d shoot with him. And, of course, I’d fuck with him.”

This collection has really surprised me. I was not expecting this kind of steam and action at all. Based on the cover I thought this would be a collection of erotic stories about twinks who might get into some light naughty acts but the surprise was that it was fully aggressive and hardcore. I have never read before anything for Vera Saint-Luc so this one would definitely not be the last time I read for her. Being a female author she has captured the gay sex and male mentality wonderfully in all the different situations. I appreciate the variety of themes she has offered in each story. If like me you are a reader who enjoys many themes including some extremes then I think you will love these stories. Both the narration and the dialogue are blazing hot. I am glad that there is a second volume too!
