Johnnies: Book Five Vern Roberts couldn't wait to turn eighteen and get the hell out of Dogpatch, California. But city living is expensive, and he's damned desperate when Dex from Johnnies spots him bussing tables. As "Bobby," he's a natural at gay porn. Soon he's surrounded by hot guys and sex for the taking, but it's not just his girlfriend back in Dogpatch-or her blackmailing brother-that keeps him from taking it. It's the sweet guy who held the lights for his first solo scene, who showed him decency, kindness, and a smile. Reg Williams likes to think he's too stupid to realize what a shitty hand life dealt him, but Bobby knows better. What Reg lacks in family, opportunity, education, and money, he makes up for in heart. One fumbling step at a time, they connect, not just in their hearts but in their bodies, where sex that's not on camera, casual, or meaningless becomes the most important thing in the world. But Reg is hampered by an inescapable family burden, and he and Bobby will never fly unless he can find a way to manage it. Can he break the painful link to his unrealized childhood and grow into the love Bobby wants to give?
