Charlie is talking to Tom online. He never shares his picture or too much about himself. Nor does he want to meet him in real life. He is scared if Tom knows that the person he is talking to is really his roommate Charlie he will hate him. But Tom does find out Charlie is his online lover.  When Tom wants to step up the game, will Charlie be brave enough to come out of the computer and into real life? 

Cyber Lies by AJ Hardcourt had me from the get-go. I particularly like heroes that are vulnerable and Charlie is a very vulnerable character. He is unsure of himself, like we all are at times.  He is very lovable and I wanted him to have his happy ending and get the courage to get it for himself.  I really look forward to many more short stories just like this. They are hot steamy reads with heart and soul, the kind I always look forward to reading over and over again.
