4.0 out of 5 stars A True Eye Opener!!!, May 14, 2007
By

This review is from: Ain't Nothin' Down About It (Paperback)

PR Hawkins has written a novel different from the conventional love story in Ain't Nothing Down About It. In this novel, she delves into the relationship of David and Val, two men who love each other immensely but hide their love from society to shield them from ridicule in their successful careers.

David and Val meet as college roommates and both of them have previously lived as heterosexual men. It is not until they have a hot, steamy, encounter of sexual discovery in the shower that they realize that they have feelings for each other. Prior to this encounter, neither one of them had homosexual thoughts or experiences so these newfound feelings take both of them by surprise. At first, they ignore the encounter and continue on in their respective lives - David as a successful novelist and Val as a well-known dancer. Eventually, they come to terms with the revelation and decide to forge a relationship that lasts for years, yet they decide to keep it a secret to the outside world. It is not until the reemergence of Patti, David's super sexy ex, that his and Val's relationship is put to the test and they are faced with a major decision about their liaison.

Even though the subject matter covered in this novel was a departure from my usual reading, I found it to be very well-written and enlightening. I thought it was quite interesting how Hawkins chose to write a story of homosexual lovers in which they did not embrace being gay even though they had been living as gay lovers for some years. I felt that the writing from this perspective gave the novel more depth. I definitely was not prepared for the explicit and erotic sex scenes but it was done in a way that was cohesive with the storyline. Fans of E. Lynn Harris and James Earl Hardy will definitely not want to miss this read!

5.0 out of 5 stars KUDOS!!!, September 15, 2006
This review is from: Ain't Nothin' Down About It (Paperback)
I went to the book signing in Los Angeles @ Eso Won Book on La Brea. Meeting P.R. Hawkins for the 2nd time was a great experience she a great woman w/ a great sense of HUMOR. Okay enough about the Author lets talk about the book I just have 1 word to say SEXY! P.R Hawkins did a number on this book, she took a life that no one really talks about and laid it down in a way people could understand and be okay with it. Val & David have a love that most people dream of! Believe me when I say that this book gets better page by page!

This review is from: Ain't Nothin' Down About It (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Like everyone I am very busy, I often start reading books, get distracted, put them down and never end up finishing them. But this book kept my attention from beginning to end. It is a well written love story with a lot of drama. I definitely recommend this book. Especially to all of you subway riders out there. My subway commute was always over too soon when reading this book.
