Combining tongue-and-cheek humor with practical advice, Wake Up Romeo is a witty illustrated guide to rekindling a dwindling gay romance. Romance, that elusive spark that ignites a relationship, can fizzle out over time and this cheery guide offers 50 tips from author and illustrator Carlos Marrero on how to keep the flame burning. Emphasizing drama and surprise, the book is fully illustrated for those would-be Romeos who have issues with written instructions. Adventure (that long-delayed kayaking trip), simplicity (leave a trail of love notes), and pleasure (new uses for wine, whipped cream, and honey) are offered, as surefire ways to remind Mr. Right that repairing a romance can be fun.

Fun and practical! What more can you ask?,

This review is from: Wake Up Romeo (Hardcover)
A friend of mine told me about Wake Up Romeo! and I'm so glad that he did. Not only are the illustrations on each page beautiful, reminding me of those wonderful 50s and 60s fashion plates and other cultural icons, but the "helpful hints" are just as timeless. I'm a very romantic person in my own relationships, but it seems that most people all know the same little tricks. Previously, I relied on the element of surprise to create a spark or shake things up. Now, I could give my lover a surprise every Wednesday at 5pm for months and he's still gonna be WOWed by it. I've already tried the rose (read the book to find out) and it brought a tear to his eye. Thanks to Carlos for helping us keep it real and keep it dreamy all at once.

Great addition to any relationship,

I'm glad that I ran across Wake Up Romeo. It's been a great motivator to me to help put back the romance and extra spark in my luke warm relationship. And, whose relationship doesn't get luke warm now and then?? I've already used two of the ideas and my partner loved them. The ideas are simple and easy to put into action right away and the end results are WONDERFUL! Again, I'm really glad this book landed on my desk!

light-hearted,
By
This review is from: Wake Up Romeo (Hardcover)
This book is not for gay men whose relationships are seriously in trouble, where some kind of couple's counseling is needed. This is a light-hearted book that you'd give to a gay friend as a birthday or holiday gift. I love that the author has men of different races portrayed here. However, every man in this book is young, thin, and handsome. I hate seeing older gay men, fat gay men, and the guys who wouldn't be asked to model for a magazine not being portrayed here. This "metrosexualization" of gay men will ultimately be harmful to the community. Consider this book if you are in a whimsical mood, but if you into deeper things, you surely won't like it.
