Secret Lovers by Cassie Stevens

Sam and Alex are both gays in the closet and friends. Sam is a Marine, Alex a firefighter. They know each other since three months and till now no one of the two has had the courage to make the fatal question: "Are you gay?". The signs are all there but if they mistake the sign, it could be the end of their relationship, plus a serious threat to their career.

Sam has no intention to leave the Army and he can't be both gay and Marine. Alex knows that if his colleagues would know about him being gay, the easiness they have sharing their time together will end. So they can't speak but they disperately desire to bring their friendship to a more intimate level.

The story is very short, 40 pages, and I'd have liked if the author had also told us of their life after the one day which is the span of this story. Nevertheless it is an enjoyable short story.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell by Cassie Stevens

Neil and Elliott were lovers when they are young and reckless. But Neil is the son of a wealthy man who wants to see his son to the White House and he manages to tear apart the lovers.

Twelve years later, Elliott is a lawyer who works for the Marine Corp and Neil is running for the Congress. But a picture taken twelve years before brings the lovers again together. But there is not angry between them, but only regrets for what it could be and hopes for what he can be.

Both Neil and Elliott are pretty strong characters. They are aware to have made a lot of errors in the past, but they are willing to do the right thing now. The only problem is to understand what the right thing is: thier happiness could be the fall of the people they love most. But live apart could be their definitve end.

The story is pretty short, less than 60 pages, and the matter pretty interesting: I think it would deserve a bit longer novel. It's also pretty erotic, with an heavy hand on the sex scenes, but not in a negative way; the sex scenes are not free, but maybe in a book this short, they are most of the book itself.

I have to kill my dream

Two days ago I was crying, yesterday I was dying inside and today I began to feel better (thanks also to my friends, real and pen, who are wonderful...)

Unfortunately I have to come to a decision that makes me very sad: I have to give up my share in Cafe au Livre, my dream. It is a very young business and it needs money that I don't have, so to let it live, I have to sell my share to my business partner, who has the money.

But I really fear that my partner will transform it in a mere coffe-restaurant, killing the bookstore. Maybe is better so, cause I really don't want that my dream survive without me (I'm really egoistical, I know, but can't think in other way)

The good news is that I have a good by day work, so no financial problem for me and a lot of spare time in the future to read more and spread the word here in Italy about beautiful novels I read in english...

From today on I change my icon: for now I have chosen a rose blossom, maybe it will bring me fortune, blossom of a new dream...
