A gay book this time

katikatAfter finishing "Alien Taste" by Wen Spencer, I picked up "The Magic in Your Touch" by Sara Bell. It's not as good as Wen Spencer's book but on the other hand, it belongs to a different category too.
This book is a gay mystery. From the beginning though, you feel like reading a gay Harlequin book - anybody who ever read at least one Harlequin book knows what I'm talking about: Everybody is gorgeous, the men are studs and the small town of Reed is absolutely gay-friendly to the point where they don't mind their handsome sheriff giving their good-looking doctor the "mouth-to-mouth" in the parking-lot right in front of the busiest restaurant in the town. But when you put aside this, the books is quite enjoyable.
And the plot? Doc Nate, the new guy in the town, becomes the victim of a gay bashing. Sheriff Brandon can't believe that the town's people would do something like that since they elected a gay man to sheriff. But he takes the concussed younger man to his home since Nate doesn't have anybody who would watch over him during the night. And thank the gods he did it since during the night someone trashes Nate's office and his house...
You know what I like best in this book? Brandon's cute and very nosy family. It looks like every third person in the town is somehow related to him and almost everybody is trying to find him a mate. The most hilarious character? Brandon's grandma who came to visit Doc Nate to ask him, what he thought about anal sex because she and her husband wanted to "branch out" :D
And my favorite quote?
Nate's grandma to Nate: "If you listen to nothing else I say, remember this: choose a man with a large penis. People who say size doesn't matter are generally the folks who don't have much to brag about in the crotch department." Then she said, "Your grandfather, God rest his soul, had a nice eight-incher. God I miss that man." XD

Makes another note to wish list
Date: 2006-03-22 01:15 pm (UTC)I need to stop visiting your journal and reading about all these wonderful Books ..I have too many books already and no money, >_<
It sounds like a lovely book though..its a shame its so expensive, is it a large sized book? (Height and Width wise, not thickness and page number) I usually only pay that much money for hard covered books, not paperbacks.

Date: 2006-03-22 05:04 pm (UTC)The book's sizes are 9.0 x 6.0 x 0.6 inches and the weight is 12.8 ounces. Not that I measured it or weighted it, I took the numbers from the Amazon site. So, the book is rather large but quite slim :) I hope I could help.
And I can so understand your lack of money. I ordered so many books... and there is so little time and money ;P
Come and visit anytime you want :)
