Title: Kingsley & I
Author: Gary Martine
Publisher: MLR Press
Publisher URL: http://www.mlrbooks.com/
ISBN: 978-1-934531-39-6
Genre: Gay M/M, Contemporary
Rating: 3 Nymphs
Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Critter Nymph
What happens when two men, one gay and one straight, are drawn to each other after meeting at a social function? What happens when sex is introduced to the mix? Does the straight person all of a sudden become gay? Bi? What about love? Can two men fall in love, like everyone else?
Readers are either going to love Kingsley & I or hate it. Set up almost like entries in a journal, the author tells a story of two men who meet and start to fall in love. As everything is told to us from Kingsley's lover's ( we never learn his name) point of view, we see his confusion over developing feelings for a man, his lust and then later love for Kingsley; yet the reader themselves may find it hard to form any real connection with Kingsley. There are also little to no real secondary characters in this story, leaving the two men to carry the weight of the story. The reader will also find plenty of hot sex, as the two are unable to stay away from each other for long. All in all, some will find this an interesting start to a new series.
