Review: A Mature Love Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 08 1, 2013
GA Hauser, the queen of the M/M erotic romance genre, has written another superb novel which is oriented in a different direction for this genre.  While most novels in this genre are about young men, newly out of the closet or not, this is about a mature couple, Will Markham and Madison Henning who have both been in numerous other novels by GA.  Will and his straight partner, Derek Dixon are the producers of the first two gay cable shows on television,  Being Screwed and Forever Young, which are detailed in their humorous and sexually intriguing detail in several previous novels in GA's extraordinary  Action Series, beginning with Acting Naughty. Madison is a highly successful photographer for advertising and for publishing books of his photos. Will and Madison have been lovers for 15 years, Will is 43 and Madison is 50, and they are still deeply in love with each other and sexually active, with an occasional third younger man to spice up their sexual romps. Will and Derek have been offered a script, Masters Boys, by Patricia Logan which would be the first gay male BDSM show ever attempted.  Despite being pioneers in gay drama, trying to once again lead the way in gay oriented drama is proving to be difficult if not impossible despite straight BDSM becoming very popular on cable.  Also, they are running into the incredibly stupid prejudice of many who object to a female writing gay male books or screen plays.  Meanwhile, Madison, working with his superb and beautiful assistant, Jasper, is trying to wrap up a new coffee table book of nude but not pornographic photos for his latest publication.  Without being aware of it, he hires on Clyde and Sam, who were very central to GA's book, Down and Dirty and who basically dislike each other for reasons set out in that book, without either knowing about the other being chosen for a duel photo shoot.  While initially hostile to each other, they participate in the photo shoot which is so hot that I was glad I was reading it on my Kindle because if it was in the paperback edition I feared the pages would ignite from the heat generated by that photo shoot. Once again, GA has written a wonderful, entertaining and provocative book which you should not miss.
