S.E.X. Review~ Tales of Bryant by V.L. Locey

For struggling film student Isamu Taylor, life's refrain is about to change from boring documentary about a passionless delivery boy to a blazing and wildly erotic love story.
After spending weeks admiring handsome but older Manhattan executive Brian Gilles while delivering brioche to him in Bryant Park, the man of his lusty dreams has just expressed a desire to get to know Isamu better. A night on the town is just the beginning of a whirlwind romance that will span not only four seasons but countless years.

Amid the beauty and charm of Bryant Park, New York City, two men are about to discover that love knows no age or economic boundaries. This is a collection of four short stories starring these two amazing men, their one sublime love, and the park where it all started.

Tales of Bryant by V.L. Locey was a quick fix to sweet romance. Isamu served brioche and coffee every day and sometimes to the New York elite at Bryant Park. Falling for the man in the very expensive suit, Isamu waited with bated breath to make a coffee and brioche run. Brian Gillies’ orders and patience finally brought him to the point where he spoke to Isamu and asked him for a date.

The story was told in four phases, taking the reader through the lives of the men over the seasons. Each season brought laughter, joy, and heartache to the men and their relationship. Isamu a young film student who never was without his camera, was also impressionable. Even though I liked his character, I found him whiny and very immature.

Brian on the other hand, 12 years older than his young lover, was a curmudgeon and acted more of a sixty year old robbing the cradle of someone forty years his junior. I never connected with the man who was 32, powerful, and completely elitist. I even found his profession of constant love towards Isamu slightly contrite.

I enjoy reading V.L. Locey’s works but this one did not work for me. In saying that, though, the book was well written, sexy and sweet. Additionally, I’d love to read their continued story in hopes Brian’s character is tendered and Isamu’s character finds success in the filming industry.
