Love You, Loveday by G.A. Hauser

The last book by G.A. Hauser is... creepy! I can't imagine how she manages to be so different from book to book and still being so unique that reading one of her books you can only think, yes, this is an Hauser's book.

Gabriel "Angel" Loveday was a soft porn gay actor. In the eighties he did all you would expect from a porn actor, sex, drugs and... well, maybe not rock and roll, but for the other two, plenty and more. Something happened, we don't know what, and 20 years later he is a widowed single dad of a teen son. With the money made in the past he has bought a little cottage beach front in Santa Monica and a indie bookstore on Redondo Beach. He seems to have a pretty nice life but he is hiding: hiding from his past and hiding from his true nature, to not tell to his son who he was and who he still is, he chooses a celibate life. But the past is not ready to be left behind: at the same time when a high school mate of his son tells the true to the boy, someone begins to stalk Angel at home and at work. Little things escalate to an almost raping using a rape drugs.

Billy Sharpe is a police officer: he is assigned to a property crime and he sees a dream comes true; his youth idol, Angel Loveday, the man who was in his dreams for years, is living only few miles from him. And he has the chance to meet him. Thinking to use an excuse to meet the man, Billy finds himself in love and involved in a bigger case than expected.

As always Hauser's characters are not simply to love. Even if Gabriel is now a good father, he is not a perfect man; he made some bad mistakes in the past and he is not facing them now. He tends to hide behind a wall of glass, thinking that ignoring the problem will made it disappears. And he has a big ego: oh, he is repentant for making that movies in the past, and he doesn't like when his past draws him attention from ugly strangers, but when the attention arrives from an handsome cop, well it is another matter... Still, maybe, trying a bit you could like Gabriel, he is so ready to love and so easy to love...

Who I find really difficult to classify is Billy. He makes and says all the right things. He is ready to fall in love of the real Gabriel after loving him like a fan. He is always here to protect him and he never disowns him, he also puts in danger his career to protect the man he loves. But he does some things, say some things and he doesn't show any compassion for a troubled kid... Maybe this is the real life, maybe how Billy acts is like every good cop should act. Maybe what I was expecting from him is a romance thing, and reality is not a romance. Maybe this is the reason why I don't like to read the newspaper with the horror of every day life and I prefer to lose myself in a romance.

The strenght of a G.A. Hauser's book is all in this: you close the book and stop reading it but you can't stop your mind from thinking on it. 

P.S. to Lee Rowan: you made a cameo appereance in Angel's bookstore!

Exceptions to the Rule by Fae Sutherland & Marguerite Labbe

Nathan is an uptight business man. One evening he is in a strip club with some colleagues from out of town and he is deeply bored. He has no interest in women, he is gay even if he is not out at office. But while searching a distraction at the bar, he gives a second look to the bartender, he suddenly realizes that maybe he has found what he is searching since a life.

Jamie is a tattooed and piercied sexy man. But despite his exterior, he is not a man searching a one night stand. And when he sees Nathan, good boy and sweet eyes, he is sure to have found the real thing, and he doesn't want to ruin everything moving too fast and uncaring. Nathan is a man to woo, and he has every intention to conquer him, body and soul.

This is a pretty classic story, the bad boy who meets good boy. It's also pretty erotic with two very well written sex scenes, the second one so involving and heavy that the surprising end is very right. It's so well written that I could easily play it by imagine in my mind while I was reading it.

Usually, to mix the things a bit, the business man is the man with power and he swepts away the blue-collar character like Prince Charming with Cinderfella. Instead here Nathan is a sweet and tender guy, who needs reassureance and deep love, and Jamie is a selfconscious man, who is not intimidated by the different social status, and knows well that he is the stronger in the relationship, and he treats Nathan like a precious thing, like a real gentleman does with his beloved.

A story which appeals both to my romantic side than to my naughty one, I always love the opposite attract situation.

Gone Baby, Gone by Sage Whistler

Luke and Slater are best friend since they were kids. Now eighteen years old they have to face a separation: Luke is heading toward a big college in the north and Slater will take on the family business and will remain at home. There is also another reason cause Slater can't follow his friend to college: he is a werewolf and his pack thinks it's not good for him to be so far from them. But him being a werewolf is not the only secret that Slater is hiding to his friend: Slater is in love with Luke, but he hasn't the courage to reveal his feelings to him fearing to lose a friend without gaining a lover.

But one beautiful and heartbreaking afternoon, the love between them is so strong that reveal itself without notice: an embrace to comfort and a kiss that steal their soul and Luke and Slater discover that they have mutual feelings. No more than a kiss and a promise to talk, and since they are young and innocent, they take separate path to go home before their moms worry. That is the last time Slater sees Luke safe and health: he is stabbed by a thief in the parking lot and struggles against death in a hospital bed. Slater decides to turn him in a werewolf to save his life, but when Luke awakes, he fears what he is become, and ran away from all he knows, family and friends.

Three years later Slater has the chance to meet again Luke, and this time he will claim his mate forever.

A classical werewolfes story with the added bonus to have very young characters: I liked the innocence of their youth, the first kiss and the easiness they have together, something born from years of friendship and from being grown together. Plus this is a freebie you can download from the epub website, so it's even more appreciated.
