The Raw Prawn
When backpacker Jarold Lake runs out of money in Australia, an acquaintance gives him an address where he can find an under-the-table job without needing a work visa. He’s greeted by Russ Bridger, who none too subtly lets him know that the “job” involves being filmed having sex... with a man.

Raw Prawn makes me think of the kind of porn a woman would write and direct…lots of hot, nasty sex with a plot. A damn good plot.
Jarold is a bit of a lost soul. He’d wandered around until his money ran out. That’s how he ends up in Australia willing to perform in an x-rated flick for some quick cash. Something about Russ seduces him into crossing from bi-curious to full on bisexual in one afternoon. The chemistry between Russ and Jarold is off the charts.

This review was originally written for Hearts on Fire Reviews and can also be found there.
The reason I decided to read this book was the mention of porn industry in the blurb. For some reason I really like books with the same or similar theme and the challenges presented to the characters usually make it more than interesting.

This is one of the stories I left with the feeling that prawn should have been cooked and be done with. There is so much potential of the "raw" world building and characters but it just falls short.
This book felt rushed. The characters spent plenty of time engaged in sex, and plot developments felt short. The Australian slang felt forced at times.
I've never, never heard anyone toss out so many stereotypical 'Aussie-isms' in so few pages and it was either throw the Kindle out the window or stop reading by 30%. US authors: we really don't talk like we're in a bad 70's sitcom. Really.

Connie Bailey is a Luddite who can’t live without her computer. She’s an acrophobic who loves to fly, a fault-finding pessimist who, nonetheless, is always surprised when something bad happens, and an antisocialite who loves her friends like family. She’s held a number of jobs in many disparate arenas to put food on the table, but writing is the occupation that feeds her soul.
