Actually, he looks like Dr Anthony Truman from Eastenders circa 2002 but I suspect I’m on my own with that one.

Ok Bam, you are pro’lly right, but is he as sensitive as Hootie? Plus it’s way more fun to say Hootie.

“He was also DL in Heroes. ”
He was also the president’s younger brother in a couple of seasons of 24 (before I quit watching because the show became so outlandish–even more so than in the early seasons if you that’s possible). I love that guy! He’ll always be Principal Hottie to me.

Hootie? No. I think he looks more like the black dude from... Buffy. You know, Forrest Gates. He was also DL in Heroes.

T~It’s so funny how the family business subplot spoke volumes to me. Now that is REAL conflict. Of course, I live it every single freaking day, so I related to Simon’s family drama. Compounded by the coming out, racial and economic differnces and the short format, well, I have to say, Bonnie had a lot to work with in very little time. She did a nice job, too.

Thanks, Tumperkin, for the great review. What a happy gift to receive today!

I think the “coming out” theme is something many erotic romance writers can relate to on a very personal level. That’s partly why I chose to finally try my hand at m/m romance. I’d like to say I’m a Jay, and to some extent I’ve told family members about what I write, but there’s still a lot of Simon in me, too. Anyone who comes from a Catholic or conservative Christian background knows what I’m talking about. So far I’ve said, “I write very racy romances and I’m not comfortable sharing them with you.” It’s hard not to be able to celebrate with your family when something cool happens in your writing career, but we basically don’t discuss that part of my life—which is a HUGE part of my life—when we’re together. Luckily my husband and daughters are behind me 100%.
