Run This Town

review 1: This was a very good follow up book to the first one. I loved the first one and with the mixed reviews on this book I was skeptical but I couldn't resist. I actually liked this one better than the Run This Town #1. I found it more of a realistic situation. Usually when we have GFY stories, there is one gay man that is dealing with a straight man and we hear the inner dialogue, turmoil and realizations of the straight man. This book had two former straight guys, gangsters, that fall for each other. It wasn't just a lust situation, they were best friends. They shared many pivotal moments in each others lives.The author did a very good job with letting us know how each MC thought about their feelings of being attracted to another man. I would say it was a slow burn but I... more can't really characterize it as that. It was slow acceptance. They both knew they wanted each other but they just had to work through it. For the m/m fans, yes there are women in this story but they weren't women in the story just for no reason. The story lines with the women were an integral part of bring this story together. We could imagine, that if this situation was really happening, of course, a "straight" guy, in Reggie and Is's lifestyle, would try to prove his manhood to himself and others by going out and being with a woman. Reggie and Israel together...yeah. It was worth the wait to see them physically and emotionally become partners. There were some sappy moments in there but nothing over the top. The sappiest moments were of Xavier and Dami. Now, they were almost over the top in this one. Some of their scenes I had to roll my eyes.I really wish Tek's book was next and not Eli's. I will read it but I'm am not itching to read his story. All the hinting to what Tek really is was driving me crazy. Maybe he's a woman or something. I want to read about him and Quinn.All in all, one of the best GFY, African American, gangleader stories I have read.
review 2: Edit 11/12/14: Stayed up until 4:00 AM reading this. No regrets, it was awesome. One of my (many many) fav parts of Avril Ashton's books is that she doesn't try to make her criminals nice and neat and not really criminals. They are criminals. They will fucking shoot you. And the language, culture, etc. are always so dead on. Is & Reg were awesome, totally worth the lack of sleep.----I need it noooowwwwww. These books are more addictive than the drugs in them. less
