Life Class

By Scarlet Blackwell

When artist Harley Hayes moves from painting landscapes to life studies, he invites a male model to his studio and is instantly smitten. The beautiful and sexy Ryan Morgan is a closed -- and straight -- book, but the more Harley tries to keep his feelings tamped down, the deeper he falls. He's heard rumors about Ryan -- women have paid him for more than modelling -- and Harley starts to wonder if he should do the same.

Ryan is down on his luck and about to be homeless when he meets Harley. He's ready to do what it takes to earn money but he's turned down gay porn in the past and no longer wants to be paid for sex, especially with a man. But when Harley comes calling, something about the artist sets his heart afire, try as he might to resist.

When opposites attract, will their lives ever be the same again?

I liked this story, but I felt like Harley gave in to Ryan too easily. I know Ryan was wishy-washy on his feelings and being gay, and what he said to Harley after Harley allowed him to stay with him once Ryan was evicted was really rude and obnoxious. And then when Harley kept telling him no, but Ryan kept pushing... I almost wonder if he did all of that just so he'd have a place to stay rather than because of his feelings for Harley. I don't think Ryan had truly figured it all out then, and it just made him seem even more douchey.

Ok read and rather short. The love story moves along like in typical, bad romance novels, where the guy falls in love with the girl, just because she is beautiful. Same here.
When the beautiful but simple one asks, what the other one loves about him, he simply resonds that there is a lot to love about him. That might be the case, but obviously he couldn't name even one thing (besides his beauty...).
The writing overall was not too bad, but I prefer it to read about the actual falling in love and getting to know each other and so on.
