Affairs of M/Men

So, I liked this book much more than I should have. The name is asinine and doesn't at all convey what the book is about. It doesn't even involve a frat. The first part of the book, though is silly like that, the typical straight-cop-goes-undercover-in-a-gay-world, except that he's not really playing a gay guy. It's more along the lines of [b:Hot Head|10506237|Hot Head (Head, #1)|Damon Suede|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1307050057s/10506237.jpg|15412114], although not as serious.

I think Mayne does a good job of portraying what a guy would feel after doing what Brandt has to do, violated, almost like he's been raped, and yet aroused by it.

The ending was silly, too, but I liked it. The romance, though, was way too sudden and intense. Hot as fuck, though. The sex scenes throughout were yummy. I particularly liked the one where Brandt has to do a private video chat.

How they dealt with the romance with the fact they were cops was asinine, too. But the only thing I really had a problem with is the emphasis on people being straight until they were gay, and more than just the MCs. One character has a gay brother and a close gay friend. His sister tells the gay friend (who also was straight until he fell in love with a man) that she and her brother talked after the other brother came out. BOth really examined their own sexuality and determined they were straight. She emphasizes this in a way that is still supportive of the new relationship.

I know the author has studied alternative sexualities, but I think this is bullshit. I don't believe that overnight someone becomes gay without ever finding another person of their own gender attractive ever.

Please see my comments for more information about how I feel about this.

I'll leave you with: Seriously, straight male cops do not giggle all the time.
