Rock, Paper, Scissors by Bobby Michaels can be purchased at Loose Id.

I’ve been cleaning out the TBR pile, and once again, before I’m halfway through the book, I ask myself what took me so long. This was another great read, to say the least.

I’ve always been very impressed with Bobby Michaels’ books because he breaks me out of my comfort zone just a bit—in so far as it isn’t the hearts and flowers romance I’m used to reading. Bobby’s writing is very raw and very male. Don’t get me wrong, he can write a romance that will have the hardest heart crying, but some of the things that turn his characters on aren’t necessarily your everyday “turn-ons.”

Rock, Paper, Scissors was an awesome romance between two men—one, quite sure love and happily ever after aren’t for him and the other, finally ready to admit that he is gay. I thought that everything moved way too quickly in the beginning but honestly, it didn’t really detract from the story. It was so easy to be sucked right into Brian and Tommy’s lives as their relationship grew into something deeper and loving.

I can say with conviction that if you haven’t read this story yet, it is definitely one you want to put at the top of your “To Be Bought” list.

I’m not sure if it is even a thought of the author, but I would very much love to see Tommy’s young son Tiger’s story in the future. I was just as invested in this intelligent seven year old as I was in our two heroes.

Book Description:

Genre: LGBT Erotic Contemporary

Length: Novel

Thomas Wells Atherton III, known as Tommy, the unbelievably wealthy scion of an old “Back Bay” Boston family has let the family down by being gay. After graduating from Harvard, rather than accepting a job arranged by his father with a prestigious Boston firm, Tommy heads for San Francisco where he can live openly as a gay man. He has only one small piece of baggage – Thomas Wells Atherton IV, better known as Tiger — his son.

Even once he gets to San Francisco, Tommy has no intention of meeting anyone important. He’s never been in love and isn’t about to fall. Famous last words. Then into his office walks Brian Baldwin, muscular Irish construction worker. Tommy takes one look and he’s a goner.

But Brian has come for a divorce, and Tommy’s hopes are nearly dashed. When Brian admits he wants a divorce because he’s gay, Tommy finds himself doing things and thinking things he’s never thought about before, including bringing Brian home to meet Tiger.

And once they “sleep over” as Tiger would say, Brian never leaves.
