The Physician and the Actor by G.A. Hauser

[reviews_and_ramblings]

This is the prequel to For Love and Money, and I have a lot of aspectative for it. Contrary to my habit (to not read stories without an happily ever after) knowing that this couple in the sequel manage to stay together I want to read how they met and how they drift apart.

Jason is a thirty-seven years old doctor, from a wealthy family and with the chance to be even more wealthy when his old aunt finally will die. The reason he is so eager to inherited is cause he wants to live in comfort, without the necessity to work for live. So not a very honored reason. Yes, he loves Ewan, but his greed is much more than love. At least in this book.

Ewan is a twenty years old actor, with a great ambition to be an Hollywood movie star. Yes, he loves Jason, but he wants all and soon, he is too young and without patience to wait for his lover to understand that money doesn't give happiness.

Greed and Ambition, like in the subtitle of the book, are the reasons cause these two drift apart, but love will be the reason cause they manage to return together.

I like this book, cause I find the characters very true and full of imperfection: or not physically, they are flawless and like gods beautiful, but behind the pretty looks, they are all too human. Reading only this book, you really can't jusify Jason and only can judge Ewan a bit childish, but if you read it with its sequel, For Love and Money, you have a wonderful tale, very Hollywood love comedy style.

I know I am a bit strict, but I read to dream and I WANT that my dream finish in a good way.
