Blurb:
Josh Harris is all dad all the time. A busy college professor and devoted single father, Josh tries to be happy with only his son for company. But then Bradley “Trex” Trexler moves in across the street with his stepbrother, Bogo, and takes advantage of their empty home, making it into a haunted house for Halloween.
Josh's son, Ernie, can't wait to go, so Josh dresses up like a movie cowboy and saunters over. It’ll be the best Halloween of Ernie’s life, but there’s another sharpshooter roaming the dark corridors, and this one might have a special treat for Josh….

Excerpt
A voice
drawled, “I’m not sure there’s room for two gunslingers in this town.”
Josh
slowly raised his head. Doc Holliday, aka Trex, stood at the other end of the
hall. Black hat, dark three-piece suit, a gun at his side, and a delicate
handkerchief tinged with blood that was the clue to the character—Holliday had
died of TB. The western garb fit perfectly on that tall, athletic body. The
real Holliday never looked so good. Josh wanted to drool.
Josh
smiled, but Trex didn’t break character, his gaze resting steady and dangerous
on Josh’s face. Okay, two could play. Josh scowled like a man who gazed into
the sun all day and chewed the stump of cigar in his mouth. He rested a hand on
his toy six-shooter. “You want to try me?” The words were out. What did I just
say?
Trex/Holliday
sauntered toward him, spurs jingling. He came face-to-face with Josh and
cracked a hint of a smile. “Show me what you got.”
He’d
called his bluff. “Uh, oh, I….”
Trex
reached up and slowly took the unlit stogy from Josh’s teeth. He slipped a hand
around Josh’s neck and—holy crap!—he pressed a hot mouth over Josh’s lips with
a hint of warm tongue. Their hats bumped and Josh’s fell backward. He grabbed
for it, their teeth knocked together, their noses squashed, and Trex pulled
back, laughing. “I guess we know that cowboys didn’t spontaneously seduce each
other. Too much shit to get in the way.”
Josh knew
his eyes were wide, and he was having trouble keeping his breath even. “Doing a
little cowboy experimentation, are we?” He reached down, grabbed his hat from
the floor, and put it back on.
Trex waved
a hand down Josh’s body. “Hey, you come in oozing cowboy charisma, you gotta
expect some admiration.”

My review:
4 out of 5 stars
Trex or Treat
by Tara Lain is a cute and sizzling short story perfect for Halloween. Josh
Harris is a lonely professor who is a single father and gets a new neighbor,
Bradley “Trex” Trexler, who sets up an amazing
haunted house that appeals to both father and son, but for very different
reasons.
This is a quick and sexy adult m/m story that gives the ambience
of the holiday while introducing a couple of men and their personable young
charges. The connection between the males on both an interpersonal and
professional level is intriguing and I'd love to get more details and
learn about their backgrounds. Things went very fast but there was just enough to whet my appetite
for a longer story featuring all four of these characters…the
two adults and the two young boys.
