Travis Bell is a member of, and an asset to, his college lacrosse team. He treats the knowledge of his sexuality with the same strict “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy of the military. A mishap involving Omega Beta Pi has Travis in a tough spot. He can either rat out his friend or take the punishment. When he discovers that part of the reprimand includes spending a week in close quarters with Kyle Schafer, Travis thinks there are worse ways to pay penitence.
Kyle is a pacifist in his personal life but when it comes to the environment, Kyle stands strong in his beliefs. He knows his Zen-like state is in danger with the introduction of Travis Bell. Discovering Travis is gay is one thing, but keeping his attraction for the handsome athlete under wraps while the share a tent can prove to be tricky. Regardless of his attraction to Travis, Kyle doesn’t want to become involved. Could Travis be the one?
Off the Beaten Path takes us to a picturesque location where Travis begins to recognize the wisdom of the people around him, especially in regards to his choice of friends. He’s a sweet guy, but Travis is looking for acceptance in all the wrong places. Spending time with members of Omega Beta Pi has him seeing himself in a new light, and finally understanding he’s shortchanging himself. Kyle’s vehement reaction to controlling his feelings for Travis made me believe he was hurting more than he wanted to admit. I can understand why he found the circumstances frightening. When you look at their backgrounds and personalities, you wouldn’t team these two together for a single romp, but their differences make them a perfect couple.
Katrina Strauss knows how to write a book that makes you beg for more. The characters are believable and personable, there’s a sound plot, and a gorgeous backdrop and if that’s not enough, the sex is hot enough to bring Smokey the Bear out for a lesson on preventing forest fires. Kyle and Travis should have been required to make love in a fire repellant tent. Those who enjoy the genre are in for a treat.
