Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Blayne is strictly business—a stuffed shirt working for his father’s company to develop the next men’s razor. Ben is out of work and out looking for a good time. He's trying to forget his troubles and get over a past he can't even remember.

When they meet in a coffee shop one afternoon, Ben gets a lot more than a job. And when they start working together, nothing can keep them apart—not amnesia, not secrets, not Blayne's father, not even Blayne's wife!

About the Author

Scott Pomfret and Scott Whittier met, fell in love and now live together in Boston, Massachusetts. We realized the story of our romance wasn’t the only one out there. So we created Romentics, a line of romance novels for all gay men who believe in happily ever after.

We know firsthand the excitement and challenges of falling in love in a modern gay world. And we know how to write steamy literature. We’re both published writers, and both appear in Friction 7, Alyson Book’s newest collection of the year’s best erotic gay fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read, August 12, 2004

By	C.F.M. (Boston) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Razor Burn: A Romentics Novel (Paperback)

This book is a great read! A sweet love story with an absorbing plot line twist! Personally, I enjoyed the whole book but what I really want to highlight is that the storyline is superb. I am amazed the authors were able to pull it off without the story seeming too silly. The only criticism I have is that I would have appreciated a bit more development in the main characters' relationship. Maybe less sex and more tender moments. But then I am a female and therefore probably not the target audience for this book. lol. Don't get me wrong the characters love is believeable and enjoyable. Yet, probably because of the need to develop the strong plot, the relationship developed pretty quickly. Nevertheless, as a female who has read many romance novels, I have to say this book was refreshing and satisfying. I suggest that all those who are open to this subject, check this book out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing, January 23, 2005

By	N.L. Gassert (Manhattan, KS, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Razor Burn: A Romentics Novel (Paperback)

This was a fun read. Ben and Blayne make a great couple. They complement each other well. The wiseass and the anal suit. The sex is hot. The story believable. The mystery and suspense are an added bonus to a refreshing romance.

This book will not keep you away from your chores for very long, because it's an easy, quick read - difficult to put down - and not all that long - unfortunately.

The occasional typo is distracting, but the novel still warrants a high rating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow...Who'd Have Thought..., November 19, 2007

By	Amanda A. Adams (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Razor Burn: A Romentics Novel (Paperback)

I loved this book! Considering I'm a strait woman I started reading this thinking I wouldn't get far but because I read just about everything I had to try it. This was one of the most sweet and intense love stories I've ever read, and I've read hundreds of romance novels. The emotion between Blayne and Ben was so...REAL. Honestly I expected this to be a cheesy book, but besides the little bit of excess lovey-dovey that makes a romance novel what it is, it was realistic. And I'm not necessarily talking about the story line because a few aspects were far fetched, which yet again goes along with the romance book tradition. These characters had life changing moments that everyone could relate to and then some that I could never truely understand but that the authors made me understand better than I thought I could. I actually cried at the end and I rarely do that over a book. This story was flat out beautiful. For those women who are considering this read let me tell you that the sex sences are detailed but tastful. I had no problem with the love sences so don't let the cover throw you off. If you feel like trying something new don't hesitate to read this book. You'll find that if you're a sucker for a steamy kiss and a happily ever after, gay or strait, this is the book to read.
