Book Reviewer Holly Dolezalek takes a look at a pair of very different summer reads on relationships. The first is Keith Swain's Dynamic Duos, which examines Alpha and Beta type gay males. Next, she reviews Tristan Taormino's Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships.
There are more than enough hot books coming out in the next couple of months to keep any LGBT reader occupied through the hot, steamy summer. Buyer beware, however, some of these titles may just raise your temperature even higher!
I almost feel sorry for the Catholic Church. Sure, it's a 2,000-year-old institution with millions of members everywhere. But it's a rule of thumb that you don't want to get in an irritated gayboy's crosshairs, and Scott Pomfret's witty, searing, political and poignant look at the Catholic Church, Since My Last Confession proves it case in point.
If you're conscious and able to read the English language, you will laugh all the way through Troy Johnson's Family Outing. But be warned: Sometimes your laughter will be the horrified kind.

The more I read, the more I look for books that engage me from the first sentence, and the less I put up with books that bore or annoy me right off the bat.

Love, sex, danger and intrigue abound in Naked Heart.
