Cute, Light Read

a cute story, Cute characters. If this was a film I'd rate it PG. I suppose one could call the story bland but I felt the development of relationship was well done and as with any old fashioned romance, it is about the romance and less about getting down and dirty, its about a journey gettting from point A the meet to point B friendship to final point C Love and Sex and all that good jazz, :D

One of the better BL books June brought over

I really enjoyed this one. The author really did her homework. She'd clearly been to LA, where this was set, and she knew the ins and outs of television production. A lot of the story revolves around this as opposed to romance. I was also pleasantly surprised by the uke, who is a Japanese American and a fireball, at least until the very end when he goes all ukey during sex. Until that point though he's a strong interesting character. I found myself wishing there was a book two to this. For all that the two heroes spent time together, they spent a fair amount of the book apart and it would have been nice to see more attention paid to when they got back together. They jumped into relationship pretty easily. It was quite understandable why the seme fell for this uke, but not as easy to see why the reverse happened. Still, the plot didn't have any of the hackneyed cliches BL tends to, and no rape or non-con, just an honest story about two guys with similar interests meeting, so it was a really nice change of pace.
