Watch out all you famous authors at the forefront of m/m hot fiction – there’s a new boy in town! :)ĭespite the stigma still surrounding being gay, it seems very liberating to do away with the sex games heterosexual couples play and just do. for straight guys so eager to get it on, they're really screwing themselves over with the name calling. Yet women have to put up the appearances that they're not that interested in order for society to view their behaviors as acceptable.

After all most people enjoy sex (men and women alike). if women weren't called sluts for seeking sex when they wanted. He didn't have to play games or pretend he was not into.Īnd it made me wonder, what would life be like if women didn't have to play the chaste games.

When Luke wanted sex, he simply went to the place were the guys were and got it on. :) What did you expect from a gay romance? It actually reminded me a lot of Queer as Folk. well, human, rather than the unemotional brute I see so often in romances. It was nice getting into Luke's mind and see he was just. :) I've been married (add some dating years in) long enough to know the stoic shell hides a lot. Society says men are supposed to be butch and stoic. One of the things I loved about Lorenzo il Magnifico is the vulnerability a lot of women miss when writing from the male perspective shows up in this book. Luke offered a sort of rawness he shared with the reader, and it made him a character I could relate to. It was interesting to find the main character in the book had a lot of the same insecurities I have going into new relationships. It's one of those books which hit me on a psychological level. Lorenzo il Magnifico gave me that opportunity. okay, for the last couple of years, I've wanted to read a romance written by a male. Tristram La Roche has certainly caught my eye and interest with this juicy hot read.My review also on Ramblings of an Amateur Writer: įor the longest time. They both have attitude that adds just the right amount of angst to their story, and keeps everything feeling more realistic and honest. Is there anything sexier than two gorgeous guys in the throes of an Italian love affair? Lorenzo and Luke are definitely all that, and so much more. His heart, however, was never meant to get involved, especially with a man who he will never see again in a week. The man waiting tables could not be more beautiful, and he has high hopes that his search for a vacation fling is over. Whether it is luck or fate, Luke is thrilled he picked this particular trattoria for his dinner. Never one to ignore such a handsome invitation, Lorenzo has no doubt the evening will be well worth his time. Coming back to Italy is part research for his masters, but what he is really looking forward to is some sexy, hot fun in the sun.

The torture he endures to earn a paycheck fades away as Luke steps onto Italian soil.
