reviews_and_ramblings | Two Man Team by Jet Mykles

I really like Jet Mykles, I still remember when I bought Heaven, one of the first M/M romance I read, probably the first full gay erotica, how I was both shocked and enthralled; only for this reason I managed to go through the first chapter of this novel, and not since it’s not a good romance, on the contrary it’s a very good romance, but guys, this is for sure a bisexual novel. I read het romance trying to pass for gay romance, and gay romance going down the straight path, but I think I have never read a real bisexual romance till know. For me being bisexual means that you have really no issue at all on the gender of your partner, the most important thing is being good, with you and with your partner. So it’s not the bisexual thing that let me perplexed at the beginning, but more all the sex with a woman between the two men; it was the ménages that was not really my cup of tea, and when the two men finally realized that they needed to understand the dynamics between them before trying to add a woman, that was the moment I started to really like the book. So, if you are like me, don’t give up to this book, try to reach the middle, and I will assure you will find what you are searching.

Davey and Jason are two of the four men who had a fivesome with best girl friend and tomboy Jen; at the end of that book Jen choses Ken and Bart, Davey and Jason were left alone… or better on their own. Even if Jason is big and strong, he is of all of them the one who believes in romance, sex is not the most important thing, being in love is. Jason is not gay, but sincerely I had the feeling that he likes when women take the lead in the relationship, all the women in his life are independent and strong. When Davey suddenly starts to involve him in threesome with stranger women, I think Jason goes along more since he has not the strong hand to say no than for real interest. And then he is best friend with Davey and if Davey wants something, he is not able to say no.

From Davey’s side, I had the strong feeling that he has something in mind, that it was not a sudden swing of mood that led him to involve Jason in his sex life. I was really expecting that Davey would sooner or later comes out (pun intended) with his version of the story, that he was in love with Jason and that he wanted him and only him. Both Davey and Jason are full fledged bisexual men; they don’t suddenly turn gay, arriving to realize that they really don’t like women; they like women, they like women a lot, and they also respect them, but it happened that the person they love is not a woman but a man. True, everything started from sex, and if sex was not good, maybe love would have not come around, but that is not the point.

There is also the strong concept of love and sex; it’s not that to have sex you need to be in love with the other person, sex is something good and happy, and if you are comfortable with the other one, you can have it even without being in love; but if you are in love sex is better. So in the first part of the novel, Jason and Davey have sex with other women, and it’s good, and no one is complaining; but when love comes between them, then trouble start, since they first need to find a balance to their new relationship, and then they can consider to continue as or even better than before.

In the end I will not say that this is a gay romance, not Davey or Jason are really gay, they are simply in love with another man.
