Jake and Brandon knew of each other in
high school, but they weren’t friends and they weren’t
enemies either. After graduation their lives went in
different directions. Ten years later, the popular jock
Jake Campbell and the school nerd Brandon Bartlett are all
grown up and teaching at their old high school. Their
interaction with one another although friendly is still
limited, Brandon now the science teacher and tutor, Jake the
physical education teacher, football and baseball coach
still staying within their certain circles of jocks and
nerds. Due to a staff shortage, Brandon finds himself
invading Jake’s world and soon the two men find there are a
lot of things the two of them have in common, beginning with
the strong attraction they feel for one another.
Jake and Brandon’s relationship in
Caught Running was fantastic to read about as
they went from acquaintances to friends to lovers. These
two very strong men in body and in mind held a relationship
that was on equal ground, and very respectful and loving.
As much as I enjoyed this story and highly recommend it, I
do have some faults with it. There were a few technical
issues such as statements made and innuendos that were never
followed up on that left me wondering why they were referred
to or mention in the first place. I find when there are
more than one author writing a story the consistency of the
story sometimes suffer due to the different visions and
direction of the authors. I also have to point out the
continuous use of referring to Brandon as ‘the science
teacher’ became distracting after a while. These issues are
very minor compared to the story as a whole. Caught
Running is fantastic, falling in love with Jake and
Brandon was so easy. These guys definitely deserve a
sequel, they really want one too they told me. |
