Summary: Great suprise, finished it in a week!
Review: This book completely caught me off guard because when I saw the small cover and description, I thought this book was an urban drama. I couldn't tell that the cover men were really tanned little white boys and I thought I'd have some silly surfer boy drama on my hands. I was pleasantly surprised. Other than the characters being slightly stereotypical and vain (very real though) the plot had twists and turns that had me coming home to read it every night. I have novels from over 15 African American writers and I had planned to stick to urban writers, but I was pleasantly satisfied with this authors work and ened the book with a smile and appreciation for how all the good guys made out in the end. I strongly reccommend this book!

Summary: A Pleasant Diversion
Review: This is a fun piece of fluff entertainment. The many obvious plot points are so secondary to the actual fun, that nothing is ruined. A world of pretty people, hot sex, hair products and easy-to-solve crimes = an entertaining couple of hundred pages. If that's what you're looking for, this will certainly fit the bill.

Summary: Fun, hot, and full of fantacies
Review: This is such a FUN and ENTERTAINING book! I didn't want to stop once I'd started reading it - I even cancelled a date for not wanting to get interrupted... This kind of gay literature is so rare and precious - the MORE the merrier!!Although it's fictional, its settings and story lines are quite believable (since I live in West Hollywood and Hollywood area and have heard stories in the Entertainment business). The plots are very much of Soap - full of constant drama and surprises - or it'd not be as entertaining! And the sex scenes are HOT but not dirty - full of fantacies but not that far off. I bet this will be made into something like HBO or Showtime original movie! And just hope they'll find really hot actors to live up to the charactors in the book! Or, I'd be so disappointed. Great job Dave! Keep it up!

Summary: Like "Gays of Our Lives"
Review: Welcome to the set of the popular daytime soap opera "Sunset Cove," with a group of young Hollywood actors and production people who are very diverse: some openly gay, some closeted gay, others lesbian, transgender, into S&M, etc. Oh, and a few heterosexuals. :) This dryly-humorous and [snotty] "insider's" look into the world of daytime drama is by a first-time author who has appeared in three of the most popular real "soaps" of the past decade, and, by his photo on the dust jacket, you can imagine he may have been involved in some of the hot off-screen scenes he writes about. It tells the story from the perspective of Clay Beasley, an openly gay actor who has a small part on the show, auditions for a national "Dr. Pepper" commercial, and generally waiting for his "big break" to come. His best friend / "fag hag" is Cissi Stanton, who comforted him when his last boyfriend left him for a 20-year old Starbucks clerk, and works as a production assistant on "Sunset Cove." What he has not confided in Cissi is that he recently started a sizzling affair with cast member Travis Church, a closeted featured player whose star is definitely rising and every woman (including Cissi) is lusting over. And the book includes an excellent mystery plotline. When another actor dies in a prop-rigging accident, then another actor is mysteriously killed in a drive-by shooting, the cast and crew wonders if there is a killer among them, and whom the next target might be. Parker, the detective assigned to the case begins an affair with Drusilla Gordon, a network executive, and the couple spot Clay and Travis out on a date, which - along with other factors - makes Travis one of the main suspects in the murders. Lots of surprises in this one. With a combination of the world of daytime soaps and a few sterotypical WeHo gay gymbot characters, this book may not be everyone's cup of tea. But I enjoyed it, and recommend it for those who can get into such stories.
