Review - Havana Bay by John Patrick

My rating:

Hank Mannix is helping Hans manage his new guest house in Havana. Along with former FBI agent Tony Cordero, Hank also poses in scantily clad scenes for a “physique” style magazine, the very soft-core gay porn of the day. He doesn’t want to admit it, but with his thirtieth birthday approaching, Hank’s days as a pin-up boy are numbered. Hank is also wondering why he is so attracted to the cute Cuban gardener he’s seen watching him.

Review - Turtle Bay by John Patrick

My rating:

Hans escapes the Nazi prison camp where he was being repeatedly raped by one of the guards. He makes his way to Ireland, where James and Otto help to get him on a boat to America. The pair of lovers come with Hans, as their own situation has become dangerous for them. Five years later, the war is over and they’re all settled in New York. Hans runs a boarding house that is very selective about the kind of men it accommodates.
