G. A. Hauser (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 23, 2008

Angel Loveday thought he had put his life as a gay soft-porn star of the 1980’s behind him. For seventeen years he’s hidden his sexuality and sordid past from his teenage son. But when someone threatens Angel’s secret and Detective Billy Sharpe is assigned to his case, he finds himself having to once again face them both. Since his youth Billy Sharpe has had erotic on-screen images of Angel Loveday emblazoned in his mind. Now Angel is there in the flesh, needing his protection and stirring up the passionate fantasies that Billy thought he’d long ago abandoned. As the harassment continues and the danger grows, Billy and Angel become closer. What began as an instant attraction turns into an undeniable hunger that unlocks Angel’s heart. It’s a race against time as Billy tries to save the man of his dreams from a life without love and the maniacal stalker hell-bent on destroying him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thriller and love story united, June 10, 2008

M/M fan "Michael Wayne" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love you, Loveday (Paperback)

All through this book the tension continues to build for Angel Loveday as someone is trying to bring his sordid past back to the present. Though Angel has tried to protect his son Oliver from learning about his acting in soft porn as a young man, it's obvious he didn't do Oliver any favors by hiding it. The detective Billy Sharpe is the perfect hero, big and dreamy and he has always had the hots for Loveday's films. The mixture of drama and romance is smooth and well written. And Angel keeps appearing in this author's books creating a feeling of a universe of her characters. Fun hot read.

This review is from: Love you, Loveday (Paperback)

Former adult film star Gabriel "Angel" Loveday now owns a book store, The Uncut Buzzard. Angel's past comes back to haunt him when his sixteen year old son Oliver finds out about it. Oliver is distraught and begins acting out. He's hanging out with a weird kid named Perry who is obsessed with Angel's past. When someone starts leaving photos and his old movies for him to find, Angel calls the police. Detective Billy Sharpe is assigned to the case. Billy has had a crush on Angel since he first watched his movies many years ago. He's thrilled to get the chance to get to know Angel. As the men strike a romantic relationship, Angel's stalker is getting bolder and more dangerous.

Angel used to be a porn star and then he became a straight laced book store owner. It's very sexy. His inner sex pot comes out with Billy. Billy's desire and excitement for Angel is adorable. Oliver's feelings seem genuine and understandable. The stalker's identity is not a big mystery, but Love you, Loveday is still a pretty good story with a loving and hot romance.

This review is from: Love you, Loveday (Kindle Edition)

The last book by G.A. Hauser is... creepy! I can't imagine how she manages to be so different from book to book and still being so unique that reading one of her books you can only think, yes, this is an Hauser's book.

Gabriel "Angel" Loveday was a soft porn gay actor. In the eighties he did all you would expect from a porn actor, sex, drugs and... well, maybe not rock and roll, but for the other two, plenty and more. Something happened, we don't know what, and 20 years later he is a widowed single dad of a teen son. With the money made in the past he has bought a little cottage beach front in Santa Monica and a indie bookstore on Redondo Beach. He seems to have a pretty nice life but he is hiding: hiding from his past and hiding from his true nature, to not tell to his son who he was and who he still is, he chooses a celibate life. But the past is not ready to be left behind: at the same time when a high school mate of his son tells the true to the boy, someone begins to stalk Angel at home and at work. Little things escalate to an almost raping using a rape drugs.

Billy Sharpe is a police officer: he is assigned to a property crime and he sees a dream comes true; his youth idol, Angel Loveday, the man who was in his dreams for years, is living only few miles from him. And he has the chance to meet him. Thinking to use an excuse to meet the man, Billy finds himself in love and involved in a bigger case than expected.

As always Hauser's characters are not simply to love. Even if Gabriel is now a good father, he is not a perfect man; he made some bad mistakes in the past and he is not facing them now. He tends to hide behind a wall of glass, thinking that ignoring the problem will made it disappears. And he has a big ego: oh, he is repentant for making that movies in the past, and he doesn't like when his past draws him attention from ugly strangers, but when the attention arrives from an handsome cop, well it is another matter... Still, maybe, trying a bit you could like Gabriel, he is so ready to love and so easy to love...

Who I find really difficult to classify is Billy. He makes and says all the right things. He is ready to fall in love of the real Gabriel after loving him like a fan. He is always here to protect him and he never disowns him, he also puts in danger his career to protect the man he loves. But he does some things, say some things and he doesn't show any compassion for a troubled kid... Maybe this is the real life, maybe how Billy acts is like every good cop should act. Maybe what I was expecting from him is a romance thing, and reality is not a romance. Maybe this is the reason why I don't like to read the newspaper with the horror of every day life and I prefer to lose myself in a romance.

The strenght of a G.A. Hauser's book is all in this: you close the book and stop reading it but you can't stop your mind from thinking on it.
