review 1: Another quick, cute read from the Work Out series, this one about a photographer who is scarred after being beaten and his insecurities about his appearance and who would want to be with him. He meets his match in a younger man he's introduced to and hopes to turn into a model for the centerpiece of a photography collection he's about to show. As with the rest of the series, these two fit well together and give us just enough of them to feel they'll be fine down the road, even though the whole story takes place over the course of 2-3 weeks max. (Most of it within a single week.)A nice light read. No major angst.
review 2: Although this is not being billed as another story in the Workout Series, it really could be. All of the main secondary characters have appea... morered in the author's workout series books. In this story, Brent is a photographer and has a big show coming up -- in fact, it is his first real show. He has a lot of terrific male nudes, but there is no specular piece that the audience will be drawn to. He is looking for an inspiration, and he finds it on an old record cover. One thing though, just like the album cover, the model that he is going to use for the photo shoot has to wear only whipped cream as his whole outfit. Brent goes to the gym (with some of the guys from the workout series) to look for a willing model, and he meets Tristan. Well . . . Tristan is gorgeous and Brent has facial scarring, and there is a lot of "I don't deserve him" in is book. Tristan become Brent's model, and there is an insta-love relationship with long-lasting professions of love after their first time hitting the sheets. After "it" is over, Brent leaves and promises to call but he doesn't for days. Then some formula writing . . . angst, angst, angst, blah, blah, blah . . . But, I digress. There is a photography show in Philadelphia that is a great success, and we are left to believe (as in every Andrew Grey book) that the two main characters will live happily ever after. I like Andrew Grey's writing, but it is getting a little too much like a formula -- the cautious beginning (with self-deprecation) for about 30 pages, the "meeting" of the two main characters for about 20 pages, the "courting" for another 20 pages, the "conflict" for another 20 pages, and then then the 15 page happily ever after. (All of which has interspersed sex scenes every 15 pages.). After 30+ books, its getting a little old. This is a 3.5 star rating from me. less
