About Not So Smart
An angsty virgin who might be a little twisted. A moody manwhore who might be a little lonely. All they wanted was to use each other for one dirty, kinky night. Feelings were absolutely not part of the plan. "It wasn't obsession, exactly. Except, it probably was." JOSH Damon Price is a brutally hot, ripply muscled, scarily confident, dimpled god. Without his hard body to stare at three times a week, I probably would have dropped out of college months ago. Too bad he doesn't know I exist. But, even if he did know, even if it was true that he screwed anything and everything that moved, an awkward virgin like me would still be at the bottom of his to-do list. Even if he knew the kind of filthy stuff I actually wanted. Even if he knew the last thing I need is any kind of relationship. "I never meant to f*ck a virgin." DAMON I should have been out the door the second that word came out of his mouth. A virgin was not what I was looking for. Except, damn, he knew how to talk. Knew how to say things so off-the-grid dirty I hardly knew what to say back. And talk wasn't all he knew how to do. There's kinky, and then there's crazy, and then, apparently, there's Josh Holloway-- who's up for anything. And who I definitely should not still be thinking about. Because the last thing I need is any kind of relationship.

REVIEW:
It just so happens that Misha Horne and AJ Sisko’s Not So Smart, book one in their Not So Series, is the book I’ve been waiting for and didn’t even know it. The book that put me inside the head and heart of a man struggling to find that someone to fulfill his deepest, darkest, “not normal” desires.
“I tasted things I couldn’t possibly – power and strength and masculinity. They were concepts, not flavors, but I knew I tasted them, and I licked them up greedily, lapping at his body like a dog.”
As it starts Josh just wants to be used, to have his virginity stripped from him in a one night stand that means nothing. With the object of his obsession, Damon. Who for all intense and purpose seems just the person to do it as the schools “manwhore”. Only problem is Damon has no idea Josh even exists.
Until “Projector Friday’s”. When a couple people are picked at random in class and essentially publicly humiliated.
With “Smart Boy”, Josh, now on Damon’s radar he’s about to get his wish when Damon interacts with him and their desire is instantaneous. Add to that the impression Damon gives Josh that he’s just another “hole for him to fill” and Josh is in heaven thinking it’s always what he “wanted [his] first time to be like”. Rather interesting for a virgin, wouldn’t you say?
Oh, Josh is not your typical virgin, he knows exactly what he wants.
But things get a little uncomfortable as Damon soon finds himself drawn to Josh because the man is “starving for the exact kind of rough fuck with a heaping side of discipline” he likes the most. Damon has never been challenged by someone he truly desires and we all know there’s something about a challenge that makes it that much more alluring, enticing – and Damon is not backing down.
As Damon begins to see Josh for who he is….or what he wants, “A dirty little twink who needs a daddy”, the power that emanates from these two men becomes an incredible turn on.
It’s like being the voyeur into the beginnings of a beautiful D/s partnership!
Don’t dare for one moment think a person in a submissive position holds no power. The access to both Josh and Damon’s inner thoughts is an awesome reflection of what is happening mentally and physically. Their power exchanges are heady. The intense feeling of Josh’s first touches, moments he has dreamed of, feelings he has craved - boiling over with turmoil, conflict, desire, and lust.
Jesus…let me just say, the hand job. Holy shit! The. Hand. Job.
As things come to a head they both find themselves fighting. Warring between a desire for this to mean nothing and the fact that they may just give each other everything they ever imagined.
“I didn’t want us to have a moment, or a relationship, or any feelings. I just wanted him to destroy me.”
Not So Smart is smart in its delivery with a seamless collaboration between two co-authors readers are unable to tell where one begins and the other ends. The writing is so extremely visual, you can’t help but be engrossed by its expressive, detailed illustrations. You see every tilt of head, wink of eye, and caress of skin….as if you’re right there. And the analogies layered on top give it an extra depth of feeling as if you yourself are being seduced.
Seduced by hot as fuck sex scenes which portray Josh and Damon’s dynamic unfolding not only between themselves but to the reader.
I’m telling you….don’t miss this read! I’m already chomping at the bit for my next fix.

About the Authors
Sadly for us readers AJ Sisko is no longer putting pen to paper for our enjoyment.
Misha Horne is an author of deliciously kinky M/M erotica that's often sprinkled liberally with romance. She's drawn to stories of young men discovering their naughty sides and exploring what love, lust, and life have to offer them-- especially when it's not what they expected. Please expect heavy doses of spanking, dirty talk, explicit sex, and untidy emotion-- among other things. If you like stories where things get heated and stay hot, you're in the right place. When she's not writing, she's probably reading, complaining about the Red Sox, or being destroyed in Mario Kart by her little brother for the nine zillionth time.
