Blurb: Tony never expected Halloween to turn out like this.
Tony, a former football jock--married to his high school cheerleader sweetheart for almost ten years--is spending Halloween with his best friend Scott while his wife is out of town in Seattle. The two buddies--best friends since the fourth grade--plan to spend the night eating pizza, drinking beer, and watching Scottie's bootleg DVD horror films. But when Tony borrows a handful of films from Scott's apartment and finds a hardcore gay porn flick in one of the Freddy Krueger cases, it's all he can do to contain his anger, his sense of betrayal, his shattered trust in his best friend... Or the hard-on that the film is giving him. His attraction to male-male sex sends him overboard with guilt and anger. But that's nothing compared to his growing realization that he might also be sexually attracted to his best friend and that maybe he married the wrong sweetheart from high school.
Review: I was shocked, aroused, concerned, and breathless. There were no peaks and valleys for me. The emotional journey just intensified. I was pulled deeper and deeper into the story until I was freefalling with Tony and Scott. Their tumble into love wasn’t easy. I felt Tony’s fear as he slowly accepted his desire for Scott. I didn’t have to imagine anything. Each heart-pounding moment was on the page for me to devour. Because Tony tells the story, I ached with him, then cried and finally cheered. Oh this is one of those stories that makes you hold your breath while reading. Hard, male sex leaves you wet and conflicted emotions unsettle your gut. The passion between Tony and Scott is palpable. A Wet Dream on Elm Street is unpredictable and impossible to put down. I had to keep scrolling the pages because the characters had depth and emotions. Kris Klein tackled a sensitive subject with a married man coming to terms with his desires and decisions of the past. The ending is perfect…but you know I can’t give it away. A most definite recommended read! * cover is perfect, but there are typos

Wow, I am completely breathless just with the review - and I wrote the story! Everything you described is what was going through me when I wrote the story, emotionally; I'm so glad someone saw it transfer to the page the same way, which was my intention. It was difficult to write, but I was more than proud with how it turned out. Which means this review meant the world to me, thank you.
