The Eloquent Jock
By Cassandra Carr
Review by Heidi Lynn

The Eloquent Jock was the first M/M Romance Novel that I have ever read by local WNY author Cassandra Carr. Brendon Kohl was an English Lit major who wanted to do a work study program for Dr. Scott Greenfield. Dr. Scott Greenfield was a famous murder mystery author in need of a new teacher’s assistant. His former TA, Terri had been recently forced to leave school when her grandmother fell and needed care.  Dr. Greenfield found himself dangerously lusting over Brendon. Dr. Greenfield wasn’t closeted but he never got involved with or dated anyone from the University because he knew it would be unethical. Brendon was on the college’s hockey team and during practice his mind would wander to Dr. Greenfield.  Brendon realized he was more attracted to men than woman when he got into high school but has never done anything about his curiosity. His college roommate and best friend Tyler were like brothers. Tyler would constantly be trying to fix him up with a girl. However, Brendon always made some lame excuse about being broke or too busy to date. He hated keeping the secret from him and Dr. Greenfield. So many times he wanted to confess to Tyler he was gay but had his doubts on his reaction. Nobody knew his true desires and had to keep his feelings closeted. He wondered if the rumors were true that Dr. Greenfield was gay. He worked for the professor and he thought he would never be interested in him. He couldn’t deny his strong attraction for him anymore. Ever since Brendon’s confession that he was gay the professor could not get him out of his head. He had been thinking about him day and night! He wanted Brendon so bad and knew he could not have him. To fight temptation he just let him alone and let him be. However, that upset Brendon. So Brendon confronted him and ended up catching the professor off guard and kissed him. Brendon’s first gay kiss I may add. Where does the story go from there? You will just have to read the book to find out. Cassandra Carr did a great job writing this book. I enjoyed reading about the characters, how they both secretly wanted each other, Brendon coming out to Tyler and to Mr. Greenfield, and the overall love story. I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 kisses. I look forward to reading more books by Cassandra.
