Key Grip (Black Stallion Studios #2) by Vicki Tharp







Blurb

For Grant Hardy, the closet is a lonely place.

And Black Stallions Studios’ straight-acting stud wants out of gay p*rn.

But when Grant’s father’s gambling addiction jeopardizes his grandmother’s home, Grant’s forced to keep working to bail her out.

Can he f*ck his way into solvency?

Sebastian Stavros wants to prove himself to his uncle, the owner of Black Stallion Studios. To be taken seriously, he must keep his pants on and his hands off the talent.

Easier said than done.

Grant and Sebastian’s secret attraction can no longer be denied, and when their affair renders Grant unable to perform, everything he’s worked so hard for is at stake.

Will the truth set him free to love the man he wants?

Or will his family suffer the consequences?


Review 
My Rating - 5 Stars!

I love Key Grip from the start. The second book of Vicki Tharp's Black Stallion Studios, this is a fantastic read.


I have a soft spot in my heart for porn stars finding romance and this one didn't disappoint. It's a tender story of finding love.

Key Grip is a lot of fun, as Grant is gay, but has always said he was gay-for-pay. He's firmly stuck in the closet, and he's in a spot where he can't be connected to porn, least he'll lose his lgbt center. But he needs money and he needs it now. In other words, Grant's in a no win situation. Not only does he show up at the porn studio again, he also has to avoid the relationship he wants with Sebastion.
Grant's long liked Sebastian, but he can't take a chance and risk his center. 

Damn, I love Grant and Sebastion. They have some steamy chemistry and are full of passion. Not only are they hot and sexy together, they are also heavy on the emotions. 

A closeted gay porn star? I love this unique idea. The author excels in carrying this out in a way that makes complete sense. I love the writing style, and a thoroughly impressed. 

In addition to the main storyline, there's an emotional secondary storyline involving Tavi, a homeless teen. This part of the story is beautifully done.

Overall, this story has a lot going on. Grant has his share of struggles, fighting between his heart and his head. Sebastian struggles with his career versus his heart, as well as his self esteem issues. And then there's Tavi, who's problems are many.

Holy shit, I seriously love Key Grip. It's a marvelous forbidden romance mixed with a whole lot of confusion and tough decisions. It's a beautiful story of family and making one's own family. It's one of those rare compelling books that make me want to re-read it immediately.
