5.0 out of 5 stars Remarkable experiences to read., May 24, 1998

By A Customer

The Day We Met is a touching book that could make believe how men could share their long-terms in love and understanding. Broken hearts happen and they could be healed. Search more optimistically. A good book for those who believe in love.

4.0 out of 5 stars For anyone who needs to be in love, February 26, 2003

By A Customer

Jack Hart's fourth published book is something a deviation from his trademark writings about hot-and-heavy man-to-man sex that usually comes with no strings attached and whose value is little more than simply getting off. But in "The Day We Met ..." Hart treats us to the nonfiction accounts of men who've worked into long-term relationships and find out that love can be found in the least likely places. Each of the entries in the book have come-on scenarios involving guys whose eyes have caught one another, from casual and chance meetings, to long-standing friendships that blossom into more and love that comes even from one-night stands. Unlike most books of this genre, these real-life accounts give us some hope that romance and live can be found, and that there's hope for the guy who isn't but knows he needs to be in love. The book cover nothwithstanding, what it promises really is inside, and the descriptions of sexual encounters are steamy to say the least. But they take second to the romance and love that can come from it. Refreshingly, although certainly erotic, this book is less erotic and more substantial and, throughout to the end, we develop a hope that chance can come our way and love someday might be more than sweat and passion in the dark.
