I bought this book because I'd just read a wonderful novel by the author, K. C. Wells, "Making It Personal".Sadly, I was disappointed. In fact, it's hard to believe this was written by the same author.The biggest problem, for me, was the same noted by other reviewers: who ARE these gays guys? Never, ever, have I encountered gay men so totally lacking in testosterone. In fact, I couldn't help thinking, this is not a house of gay men, it's the home of a gaggle of teenage girls.Every time they leave the house, it seems, they're wearing skin-tight leather pants, flattering silk shirts, clear lip gloss and eyeliner - to bring out the color of their eyes. Not to mention that much of the book is about "girly" things including the most minute details of a wedding and the constant discussion of feelings. Ah, I get it now, this was a gay romance written for teenage girls? That must be it.The problem is that, as an adult gay male, I found the dialog downright silly, at times. As others have mentioned, how many groups of gay men do you know who refer to each other, constantly, as "sweetie", "honey" and walk around telling each other how hot they are, constantly kissing each other on the cheek, head and lips?I guess if you're a gay-curious teenage girl, this book may be for you. It certainly wasn't for me.And it's a shame because the author is a talented writer and the book deals with several important issues, including gay-bashing and childhood sexual abuse.And one personal note to the author: If you're going to write about gay men having sex, please, at least, get the anatomy right. When a man is on his back, his prostate is up, not down.
