Publication Date: April 15, 2010

(Gay / Erotica / Erotic Romance / Anthology / Collections / Contemporary / The Arts / Romantic Comedy / Interracial / Multicultural) Six men, six imaginations, three romances where performances are not always public. Sometimes, following your creative spirit means finding more than your muse. It can mean finding love, too. Previously available only in electronic format, these three stories of gay contemporary erotic romance have now been combined for a paperback edition! Included are the tales......What We May Be (Fashion is Jared Harvey's life. Once a top model, now an aspiring designer, he never expects to be attracted to a man who wouldn't know his Versace from his Valentino. But Rick Paulson makes him rethink everything he's ever assumed he wanted in a man. Rick's generous, built like a brick house, and best of all, hungry to let Jared take control. Together, they ignite passions in each other neither wants to extinguish. So what if Rick doesn't care about Jared's Cavalli? Life's more than a runway, especially with a man like Rick around.)......Interlude (AJ and Tyrone have had a dueling piano act in Reno for two years, but now someone from Las Vegas has finally noticed them. It seems like the perfect career move, but taking the plunge means more than moving. It means rooming together, relying on the other for support. That wouldn't be a problem if AJ hadn't been in love with Tyrone nearly as long as he's known him.)......Dead Man's Curve (Spencer Szabo's play about a dead C-list actor was deemed unmarketable...until Mick Darby came along. Now, production is in fast forward, as is the attraction between Spencer and the man who makes him feel like he's come home.)

This review is from: Behind The Scenes (Paperback)

AJ and Tyrone are work colleague and friends, both pianomen in a Reno Casino. They have a personal show where they "duel" on stage using music, and on the stage they have a perfect alchemy. Off the stage instead there are some problems... since AJ is desperately in love with Tyron and instead Tyrone is a playboy who doesn't discern on the gender, men and women are the same for him, if they help to warm his bed.

AJ is a shy guy who lives for his music; and since he met Tyrone, now he also lives for the man, from afar. He has never had the courage to unveil his feelings to his friend, and every night he suffers on seeing him pick the choice for the night. Tyrone is a very handsome African-American man, open and friendly with everyone. After the show, AJ drinks his beer alone and goes home, Tyrone parties till the few hour of night. They are like Ebony and Ivory, and not only for the color of their skin.

Then everything changes: Tyrone has the chance to a big engagement in Las Vegas and he wants for AJ to go with him. Change city, home and friends. It's a big step, but not doing that means fo AJ to loose Tyrone and so it's not really an option. But in Las Vegas also Tyrone changes... all his attention is devoted to AJ, but it's only the spur of the moment or it's the real thing?

The story is pretty simple and not very long, 60 pages more or less. It's a pretty classical theme, two friends, one of the two hopelessly in love with the other, and then, BUM, the big revelation: my best friend is also in love with me! And instead of joying at the idea, AJ is scared, he can't really grab the opportunity, since having it for a bit, and then loosing both friend than lover, is worst than not ever having to lover but always having the friend.

A nice reading, good for a rest and relax break.
