Jamie Brennan is good looking, rich, and pursuing a literature degree. He's also pursuing and seducing every male he fancies, gay and straight alike. When he continually encounters grad student Roger Hunt looking at him with disapproval it throws him off his game for a minute. He isn't about to let a frowning albeit cute guy stop his fun.

The opening line of this amusing story certainly set the stage for Jamie's slutty antics. This is a fun, not-to-be-taken-seriously look at a pampered college boy sowing his more than wild oats. I loved the characterization of Jamie and his cousin Jo. The author was successful in creating some interesting characters in this humorous look at promiscuity. It wasn't what I expected in terms of a romance but it held my interest mainly due to the snappy dialogue. Apart from Jamie's sexual romps, there's some really good scenes between him and Jo. I really liked her. Roger's character left me lukewarm, he pretty much stayed at room temperature never rising in heat or interest for me. Nevertheless the story is a good escape with a nicely done ending.
