Pretty Man

I have never read an LGBT book before, so this was my first. It was a little bit on the graphic side, if you like that kind of thing. The characters in this book are well developed and there is plenty of plot, unlike the 50 shades books which simply was porn. We begin with Roland Marcus returning to New York after being away for sometime and who does he see while walking along, but his ex-lover, Kenneth Rhodes.. Roland ducks into a used bookstore and literally bumps into Josh and we begin this book's version of Pretty Woman. We are taken on a journey of a well off man who is trying to make is ex-lover jealous and ends up falling in love. We are taken on fantastic adventures to high society events and getting all dolled up to go out. I was so excited to see all of the fun events they go to. This was such a great book!

Premise of the book is a M/M version of Pretty Women I really liked these characters Josh ( hired escort) & Roland - wealthy businessman burned by his ex lover who left him for a younger man Sex between the two is pretty explosive & just seems like it’s happening every few pages. Really interesting concept & follows the heterosexual version of one of my favorite moves. Enjoyable read

Good book. Really liked it. Would recommend to friends and family. Would like to read more from this author.

This LGBT take on the classic movie Pretty Woman is very cute. When a 40-something man runs into his ex, he has to find a younger man to make the ex jealous. Then, they have to keep up the charade at a series of charity events (and of course, the younger man is getting paid for his time). The relationship between the two men was adorable and it felt like you really knew the older man well. The younger character was harder to understand and get inside, but overall, I very much enjoyed this read.

Roland is a man that after a relationship of over 20-years and been dumped, he met Josh, a young guy, and pay him to be his fake boyfriend for one week, like a male escort. I truly liked the introduction that explain the problem we in the LGBT community have found in the LGBT content (books or movies), and the author wrote that he wrote about an asexual character, but frankly I can’t remember someone even close to be asexual. I’m giving this book 4 stars, but that review feels more like a 3,5 stars. I liked this book, one of the LGBT book with a happy ending! No tears here, honey. It has really good description of place and sex scenes (it really describes everything) and has a strong language. IT MIGHT CONTAIN SOME LITTLE SPOILER, I SWEAR NOTHING REALLY BIG THOUGH. And there was something that I couldn’t really get, why every time Roland wants to give Josh a blowjob he has to be naked, I mean you will only use your mouth or/and your hands. They experienced some sex stuff that probably were too much for me, that are not exactly my type of things, and I don’t fully liked it, but obviously this thought is extremely personal. Maybe I was a little disappointed because I was expecting maybe more romantic and fluffy shit, but I got it only in the very last chapters. Another thing that I didn’t like was that more than one Josh use the word pussy to describe Roland’s hole, but the whole thing about homosexual sex is exactly that there is no pussy here, and I don’t think that a gay man would say something like that to his partner. Roland and Josh can get along with each other even though they’re really different kind of people. Speaking of, I like the age difference but I think that it wasn’t really highlighted, the author decided to bring that up only when Roland was getting ready for some mundane party. This seemed like a gay and more smutty version of fifty shades of grey. But in the end I liked it, even though I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone one, maybe to may gay best friend and his boyfriend, they would probably take some ideas.
