The Wilde Passions of Dorian Gray by Mitzi Szereto
Here we are back in December with my very personal challenge for 2014. I though to post the 2013 Gay Romance Challenge before the holiday, so that if you want to use it for your Christmas shopping, you are in time in doing so! BIG CONGRATS to Kindle Alexander for having 3 books in the first 10 positions!
. At today I read only 18 out of 100 books, so this year challenge is REALLY challenging.
These are the 2013 results, and to determine the 100 books I simply considered all books that appeared at least once in the monthly Bestsellers list and gave them a rate equal to their position; if a book appeared more than once they received a bonus point for each time they made the list and their position is the average position plus the bonus. So this is the final list (in bold the books I read with link to the review):
Forget the cowboy romance hero, forget the strong and silent type, forget Marlboro Man and co, Scott M. Terry is too harsh and vivid to be romantic, but nevertheless he is an hero. Yes, he has bitter in his mouth and he needs to spit it out, not with violence, more with vengeance, another way to cure himself from his past, to soothe his scars, to be able to appreciate even more the good life he has now. It would be nice, and pink glasses perspective, to say that he smoothened everything in his life, with all his relatives, that he was able to find peace and agreement with his own sister and his parents, but that is not truth; the reality is that, due to strong religious belief, he is basically lost to most of them, where most includes the one who is really important, his sister Sissy. How can Mr Terry not condone the religion that has basically stolen his sister from him? So yes, the spite is justifiable, even right from his point of view. And it’s not that if he looks around things are better, if even from “friends” he receives messages on the trend of “love the sinner, hate the sin”.
Quick and fast, like a country two-step, From the Boots Up is the story of how down-to-earth Meg was swept away by city-girl Gina. This is not a coming out story, both Meg than Gina have already a well-developed personality, and from what I gathered, Meg is also out from a relationship gone sour. When she meets Gina, not knowing she is the reporter who is supposed to spend some weeks at Meg’s father’s dude ranch, she is immediately attracted, and it’s clear the attraction works both way. Gina doesn’t hide her interest in Meg, and she is also more bold than Meg in reaching out for what she wants. In this, the old motto that city is faster than country, in everything, is confirmed. But it also true that country makes deep roots in your heart, and once Gina is trapped, it will be difficult for her to leave Meg behind.
