Product Description

Dan is a mechanic with a chain of successful garages and a lonely life. Trent is a recent grad, a struggling photographer with an empty wallet and bills to pay.

But an old enemy is trying to ruin Dan’s business. Trent is posing as a prostitute. And a secret from their past could destroy everything.

Is it fate or bad luck that brings them together one dark night? And can they build a life out of all these spare parts?

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 smart woman enjoyed this romance, March 13, 2006

This review is from: Spare Parts: A Romentics Novel (Paperback)

After reading Brokeback Mountain by Anne Proulx and I was blown away by the story; I decided to search Amazon.com for different stories of romance and love. I stumbled across Spare Parts by Scott and Scott of Romentics and once again was surprised and touched by the love of two people who were men. I am a straight female with a strong relationship that has grown through a great
deal of trial and effort. When two people fall in love, does it matter if they're of the same gender or opposite? Remember this, love is love regardless of the package it comes in. Dan and Trent are a great example of this idea and I was enchanted by their story. My favorite part of the book was the part where Trent and his mother are talking in the gallary about the two pictures he had taken of himself during the two weeks he was living with Dan and later after leaving. The ending was fantastic and the cover art was done by an excellant artist. If you want to learn more about Scott and Scott, check out their website at www.romentics.com.

Having bought all three [and pre-ordered the fourth] of these "Romentics" novels, I'm happy to say that they deliver exactly what they promise and much more. These are light, fun and very sexy romance novels for gay men. There's a plot, some conflict between the main characters, a few nice sidekick type characters and the inevitible resolution and happy ending. That's exactly what the "romance" genre promises. They're quick reads and more enjoyable than most others I've read. I'm eagerly looking forward to everything that Scott & Scott write.

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: Spare Parts: A Romentics Novel (Paperback)

This was a fun read.

I've enjoyed the dynamic between Dan and Trent. They have secrets, and they've done things they're not proud of - like most of us, I'd wager. I also enjoyed their age difference, though, I'm not sure why it was such a big deal (other than supporting the rumors about Dan and his young mechanics). And the sex was hot.

The book won't 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.
