A new title in the Urban Phaze line:
Newly transplanted Seattle resident
Martin Benson is on a sight-seeing tour of museums and the
Space Needle when he meets handsome, heavily
tattooed Chase Reed. They hit it off, and Chase offers to show
Marty his Seattle: grunge rock and good times.
The men are total opposites, with
only one thing in common -- an intense attraction to each other, which
culminates in a weekend of white hot passion. Desperate to hang on
to the new relationship, Martin attempts to change wild and crazy
Chase into someone more responsible. Will he be able to give Chase
the space he needs, and somehow strike a balance?
(m/m, contemporary erotic romance)

Excerpt:
"This is
awkward." Chase studied him over the rim of his glass. "I've been trying
to find out all night, with no luck, so I guess I need to come out and
ask. Are you gay or straight?"
"You've
been trying to find out?" Martin laughed. "I guess you didn't do any
better job of it than I did."
"You mean-?"
Chase's eyes sparkled.
At that moment,
he knew. It wasn't easy for a gay man to put himself out there. Some
guys were so homophobic, there couldn't be friendship once the truth
came out. Every time he made his orientation known, he took a risk.
Martin could tell by the look on the other man's face, they were in the
same situation. "I'm gay," he confirmed.
"Praise Jesus!"
Chase whooped, and downed his drink. He set the glass aside and took
Martin by the hand. "Let's go where it's quieter, to talk."
He set his glass
down and allowed Chase to drag him up the stairs. The house had three
floors, and not finding an empty room on the second level, they ascended
to the top. One room was open and Chase snagged it, drawing him in, and
closing the door behind.
It was sparsely
furnished. A single bed with a filthy mattress, and a ratty wicker chair
were the only things visible. "Whose house is this?"
"Some friend of
a friend of Eric's, I think his old man rents it out, or something. Come
to think of it, I don't really know." He stepped forward, pressing
Martin against the wall. "Come to think of it, I don't really care.
There's only one thing I care about right now." His mouth covered
Martin's, and both men sighed as they came together.
With more hunger
than he intended to display, Martin parted his lips and Chase's tongue
slid in. He tasted like rum and something minty, a delicious combination
that sent Martin's head reeling. The little metal tongue stud added
another dimension of excitement. He'd never kissed anyone with a
piercing there. Clutching at the other man, he dragged his body closer.
"Oh yeah," Chase
mumbled, pressing his jean-clad crotch into Martin's thigh.
He felt the
solid erection, which caused his own cock to stir. Without thinking, he
rammed his pelvis out, wanting to press against something.
Chase snaked his
hand between their bodies and cupped his package. "Mmm, you're as hard
as I am. Have you been thinking about this as much as I have? The minute
you walked into my store today..." His tongue dipped into Martin's ear.
"I haven't thought about anything else all night."

Hill has an ear for dialogue that
captures Chase's outrageous personality and Marty's controlled calm.
"Giving Chase" was a good read. I
recommend it if you're looking for well-developed, flawed characters and
great dialogue.
