review 1: IF you like a slow pace build up and little drama this is the book for you. Full of sweetness Derek is gay but its a secret then comes the new guy Scott just moved in town, they have things in common they love wrestling. they get to know each other more they do they build a friendship then comes love, but thing all that come bumpy roads and drama. Young love and love will come over all in the end.
review 2: Okay. Obviously, you come to a book like Wrestling with Desire with certain expectations. It's going to be light and fluffy, maybe a little sensual, mostly giving its audience what they want. Even by that criteria, Wrestling with Desire has problems. The first half of the book feels empty, and the novel as a whole lacks a clear sense of direction. The se... morecond half of it is better with some actual conflicts developing between Derek and Scott and Scott and his father, but until that point, things are just kind of dull. The last few chapters have the sweet, cute moments that I wish had been present throughout the whole book. Another issue? The bizarre focus on crotches.You'd expect crotches to be somewhat-prominent in a gay romance novel, but the way this manifests cannot be what the target audience wants. For instance, Derek's friend Becky has a habit of threatening to mutilate her friends' scrotums, a trait which is supposed to be quirky and charming but really just comes off as eye-rolling, especially when the other characters imagine what she would say when she's not present. And then there's the readjusting erections. Let's be clear. You're going to spend a lot of time reading about guys tucking their boners into the waistbands of their underwear because they have to get to class. If that's what you're looking for in your gay YA romance novels, then you better stop wrestling with the desire and read Wrestling with Desire. less
