Hot Hands

By Erica Pike

For weeks, college student Casper has been the victim of sail-by goosing and groping. The problem is that Casper would very much like to get more than groped by those wonderful, big, hot hands. With a journal full of clues, he sets out to discover who his mystery groper is. He may, however, be in serious trouble once he discovers the ominous identity.

Hot Hands focuses on the effects of high school bullying for being gay.

Erica Pike

Erica lives in Iceland with her adorable little twin boys. She often says that her real name sounds like Klingon to foreigners. If “Eyjafjallajokull” looks like a string of random letters it’s nothing in comparison to Erica’s real name. She’s been writing for several years, or ever since reading became an obsession. Aside from a business degree, Erica has taken English courses at the University of Iceland and gulped down anything that might help her in her career as an author. She takes great interest in English, but will break every single grammar rule for the sake of The Voice. Erica loves hearing from her readers. She’s a friendly, easy-going (if a bit silly) person who doesn't mind talking about herself in third person.

[vampkiss · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

3.5 stars. Good writing and story, but the ending was so...abrupt. I would of liked to read what happens next!

Super sweet, sexy, and quick read!! The MC has a Secret Admirer and spends the story trying to guess who it is from 3 or more possibilities. I guessed who Hot-Hands was as soon as we met his character, but I didn't care because I wanted it to be him anyways. It hit all my buttons that a short should, and I hope to read more about this couple. I now want to read more from this author.

I really enjoyed this short story it was a quick read the wrting was good the author made it quite enjoyable. The book touched on the subject of being bullied how it affected Casper but also how it was for the tormentor who had those exact same feeling but handled it in a very different way.

Being in the closet at a young age Jamie made some horrible choices. I would love to read more about Casper and Jamie to see if they could get past their history.

Who doesn't love a happy ending though.Great writing Erica and I gladly will read and review anything you have to offer. I gave this story 4 stars as the writing was excellent and left me wanting more.

TBH, I'm startled that a story essentially about stalking and sexual assault has been described so often as cute and sweet in the reviews. Dangerous and hella creepy is my take. *shudders*

Very interesting set up. Casper keeps feeling someone touching him and he's determined to figure out who it is. Things start to heat up and suddenly he's afraid that its a cruel joke from some bullies and yet he is drawn to his stalker. I like how this plays out and how there isn't an easy resolution to the confusion.
