This was way less sinister, and all the more enjoyable, than I expected from a vague summary (and lets face it real life) about a straight guy pledging to join a gay frat. Another surprising thing was the end game(?) relationship, I am not sure I expected any but certainly didn't see that particular one coming.

Great Novella
I wasn't sure what to expect with this novella. It was more sweet than I expected. All the guys were good guys and none pressured Mark into doing anything he as willing to do.

So Mark ends up pledging a gay frat, not quite what he was expecting. While they push the limit a bit it’s not too bad and the situations he is put in make him start to rethink some things. It’s a short and slightly dirty story that just pushes all the right buttons. I liked watch Mark come to terms with how he feels and how each situation changed him a little bit.

Short story but kind of different. Not a romance but more a bi-awakening finding yourself. About a young man who was trying to go to college but him and his mom were coming short financially. He met a guy at a orientation who invited his to join his fraternity for free or reduced room and board so he does. The fraternity allowed his to go to college but when he arrives he learns it's a gay fraternity. During the rush/initiation he gets to know the guys and bits about himself he didn't know. Not a real deep read but a decent amount of steam. Characters were likeable. If I was the author I think the story has potential to be re-worked some and developed into a romance or a MMM....

2.5 round up
This is the epitome of OK, nothing particularly great about it (and problematic in a whole myriad of ways if you look too deeply) but also not complete rubbish. With only two scenes I would consider sex scenes, not overly steamy either. I would call this fluff. The narrator did a fine job, though I think he was a tad too mature for the job of voicing such an obviously young character.
