Lost Boys Academy 1-Orientations (Lost Boys Academy #1) by Aaron Ferrara!!!
 

College life was all about having some great experiences but that's so not the case for The Lost Boys Academy. Hot and troubled Jake never turns down a challenge but this one where he has to seduce the one person that could get him removed from the academy. The beautiful and in love couple, Kyle and Alex have been together for awhile but will their love for each other survive the teachings of rehabilitation from their sexual orientation? James has to work on confronting his demons! Mason the devout catholic starts to question his religion as he is surrounded by such beautiful and hot temptations at the Lost Boys Academy!!! 

This is the first novella in the series and I can tell its going to be an amazing series so expect more reviews from me in this series. I was really looking forward to reading this novella as its quite different from the usual MM books as this deals with rehabilitating male gay students from their sexuality. This first installment is an introduction to the wildly interesting characters and their back-story and why they are at the academy.  

I liked how the author brought these characters to life and how he took us deep into their stories and the way that they connect with each other and such diverse guys they are. Its so interesting how the school affects each character so differently. Will the academy succeed in turning these boys straight or will they fight to remain exactly who they were born to be no matter of the consequences?

 I give this author, Aaron Ferrara so much credit for coming up with this very hot topic of sexual conversion and creating such a unique and wildly fascinating novella and series. I highly recommend this novel so much as it will make you think while giving you a brilliant and beautifully written story.....Lost Boys Academy!!!

“Hey, you here for the academy?” The boy took out his headphones and let them hang down to the floor. Judging from his soaking, grey athletic T-shirt and black gym shorts, he had to have been returning from a run.“Yeah,” Jimmy answered coyly. He was never good around guys he thought were cute. He glanced down at his own clothes—plain black T-shirt and dark grey pants with red, Converse high-tops. He slightly envied the anonymous boy for being able to pull off the sweaty look better than his own normal style.

“I’m Jake.” 

“Jimmy.” 

“Jimmy, the ginger,” Jake smiled. “Is that your natural color?”

Jimmy’s face turned red, matching his hair which made him drop his gaze down toward his feet in shame, “Yeah.”

“Cute.” Jake walked past him as he headed up the stairs.

Jimmy got a closer look at Jake before he passed by. He couldn’t deny that there was something familiar about him. Had they met before? 

“Do you live in L.A.? I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere…” 

“Probably,” Jake shrugged. He stopped at the top step, twisting his head over his shoulder to look at Jimmy. “It’s not so bad here, ya know.”

Jimmy raised an eyebrow, wrinkling his forehead, “Except for the fact that they want to completely change who we are and what we do.”

The devilish smirk reappeared across Jake’s face, “Who said we have to change what we do?” 

Jake now stood and faced the large door at the top of the steps. He stretched his arms over his head, flexing his lean, toned arms. He then grabbed the bottom of his shirt, pulling it off and over his head, revealing a chiseled,  muscular back. He adjusted the waistband of his underwear,  unveiling the dimples in his lower back, completely visible as they peeked out right above his shorts. With his sweaty shirt, he dabbed his neck and then reached for the door in which to enter the school. 

“Just as long as you don’t get caught,” Jake admitted as he walked into the premises, swaying his hips in an overconfident manner.

Good point…Jimmy muttered under his breath. He paused for a moment as the image of Jake’s perfectly-sculpted body burned into his long-term memory. 

“Welcome to the academy, roomie!” Jake shouted behind him.

Jimmy snapped out of the momentary trance. Roomie? He pondered this briefly before his lips gradually formed a smile. Maybe this summer wasn’t going to be so bad after all…

Congratulations to Aaron for his debut book and thank for a chance to win the first of the series.

I was just wondering, will the series just be three books or will there be more and will the webcomic version be released as paperback?
