Rowan McBride has a series of stories about the "growing muscle" event: one or both main characters change their looks to suit the taste of their beloved.
Joel is the perfect guy: six foot six of football player, he is not the usual jock, he has also a thinking brain. But he is too used to be adored by everyone, he can have all the girls he wants and all the friends he likes. At 19 yd he is the raising star of his college.

Seriously, this book made me so uncomfortable, throughout I kept shouting 'WHAT AM I READING?? And, WHY?' But I absolutely loved it. Besides the creep factor and almost sociopathic characters, you find yourself so enthralled with the entire story that you WANT to know the outcome. At first, neither character is likable. Joel is narcassitic to the extreme and gets off on how much other people admire him. Walker is this shy quiet guy who everyone finds creepy ( and seriously what he caused still ...more
4.5 stars
I knew going in, that the story was dark and twisted. So I had psyched myself up before starting it. And still, I wasmajorly a little bit creeped out, for most of the story. Which did not detract from my enjoyment. I really, really liked it.
The premise of the story was totally original. The sense of doom increased exponentially with each downward spiral. And throughout the different lives, the slowly evolving relationship (if you could call it that) between the main...more

This is a totally amazing book. Creepy, scary and weird describe it just as much as thought-provoking and sweet. I spent about the first third of the book trying to figure out what was going on - and deciding whether I liked the idea behind this book. I must admit that some of the non-consensual aspects repulsed me to the point where I WANTED to put it down - only I couldn't. It was as if the writing wove a spell around me which forced me to watch the trainwreck happen.

This story was odd, but quite interesting. Long but worth it. In its own way I was reminded of the flick Freaky Friday, but so different.
Imagine if you will you have the shy boy and the football jock sharing a room with this young man. You man infatuates with the body of the jock and places a spell so the jock reacts every time the words 'Want Me' are spoken. Each time the young shy man has an orgasm their bodies are altered where eventually the roles are reversed. Curse? Obsession? J...more

I am ambiguous about this book. The elements of non con were not to be denied but despite why that was happening, it wasn't the focus of the book. It was about personal growth, learning about what you can do with your mind, the power of love. But there's no denying this book was seriously creepy. I can't say I liked it but I had to finish it.
i have been waiting with baited breath for this book, thinking it would be similar to previous ones. I guess i was wrong, its not that its bad, but rather it was so much pain involved, that i expected a different outcome! strange to think i can write this book better than an author i respect and admire.

this was a really bizare book that totally did not go where i was thinking it was going to be going. All in all, it was pretty good.
First thing I gotta say is that this book is CREEPY! I'm talking serious heebie jeebies here! Like whoa! There's just something about the way this author writes that just draws you in though, and even if you've got a major case of the wiggins, you still have to keep reading because the world is so fascinating that you must find out what happens and how it all works out.

I don't understand why they have to switch place...it's bullshit
This was like watching one of those great indie movies where they completely pull the rug out from the character's feet and we get to watch them struggle. I was tense the whole time reading this book - it was fantastically written, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It was pretty dark, but went exactly where it needed to go. I definitely recommend this book.
This book was much darker than I expected. I liked it, but I was surprised by it.

Born an Air Force dependent, Rowan McBride traveled the world and totally missed the 80’s as most Americans know it. In exchange, xe’s gotten to walk in clogs, break an arm at Mt. Fuji, and say prayers at a Korean Buddhist temple. So far it seems like a fair trade. Although xe graduated from high school in Hawaii, xe didn’t learn to hula and make leis until going to college in Iowa. After leav...more
