Rating: Summary: Love and Romance Dreamworld Review: While growing up in high school I was assigned books to read almost every week. Catcher in the Rye, Ordinary People, To Kill A Mockingbird, Tess just to name a few. In almost every case I rarely made it to page 2 let alone to the very end.While doing some research, I stumbled upon THE LORD WON'T MIND and began reading the first chapter. Set in a country manner everything that I dreamed of, country clubs, elegant dinners, walks along country roads to a private beach was on the page. More importantly a story book romance between two men. Charlie and Peter two distant relatives spend a summer together and discover they have more in common than tennis and sailing. The initial romantic overtures are so well written that the beauty and erotica can overwhelm most readers. The story moves swiftly through a wirlwind summer romance, to a predictable break up and final resolution that will appeal to all romance novel lovers to some serious readers. The novel is an escape into the "fabulous" life that most will envie and enjoy. This is a novel that is not for those who like a good plot, it is a romance, and a accounting of a relationship. It lacks teeth but that is it's appeal. It does provide a reader who is currently discovering their sexuality a glimmer of hope that the gay lifesyle can be as rich and rewarding as those of straights. This novel could be to blame for the pretention that is abundant in the Gay community. The sexual content makes it not recommended for readers younger than 15. If you need a little romance, give this novel a chance.
