My rating:
Ford is a doctor just finishing his residency at hospitals in the Atlanta area. Long accustomed to being the object of desire for both men and women, he has only recently acknowledged that his own attraction is to men, yet he still has not come to terms with being gay, let alone tell his very traditionally-minded parents. Despite the wealth and prestige Ford has, he still feels an emptiness to his life, until he meets Dan.

Review - Shirts and Skins
My rating:
Alert: This is one of those books that is hard to summarize for review without spoiling the plot to some degree. I’ve tried to keep the spoilers to a minimum. In this episodic tale of one man’s troubled journey through life, we first meet Josh as a young boy. He seems to a relatively happy child, despite a somewhat unsettled home life, with two half-brothers and a father that has trouble holding down a job.

Review - Hidden Faults
My rating:
‘Jodi’ is a doctor trying to find a “cure” for one of his society’s greatest problems: paranormal abilities. ‘Paras’ are considered a threat, and once discovered they are marked with tattoos as well as forced to take a drug that inhibits their abilities. The problem is, the drug makes them almost useless for anything else, so they have become outcasts from the world in more ways than one. The government of Jodi’s country has used the “paranormal threat” to justify all sorts of restrictions, which the largely conservative society goes along with.

Review - Penetration Fascination
My rating:
Snow is a hardened denizen of the town of Westgate, a place that makes the old “wild west” look tame. He is a thief, con man, and when necessary a murderer, but that just makes him an average citizen in this town. While Show usually just looks after himself, young newcomer Erin catches his eye, and when the boy is about to be robbed and raped, he steps in to save the day.
Review - Boy Meets Boy
My rating:
Paul has it pretty easy. The high school sophomore discovered and accepted his homosexuality at an early age, his parents love him the way he is, and he apparently attends one of the most liberal high schools in America. The football team’s star quarterback is a drag queen, who is also elected homecoming queen. Paul has a close circle of friends, which includes his gal-pal Joni and Tony, who in sharp contrast has fundamentalist parents that are trying to pray his gay away.
