(Like seeing an old friend...)

(Michael Tolliver Lives)

(Aging, but still vital!)

(Loved it...)

(Tolliver, sadly, Lives Maupin's Boring Life)

Every moment while reading this novel was filled with that feeling I get when I meet a long lost friend on a subway platform -- Unexpected, unplanned, but the best moment of the week. Michael has aged like all of us, and is happy -- or as happy as Michael, or any of us can be. Finally a novel that doesn't revolve around HIV, while touching respectfully on it. What a pleasure to get back in touch with Michael, Anna, Marianne, Brian, and a whole new generation of characters, while catching up on all the others. Anyone who enjoyed the others for that sense of reading them and seeing old friends will love this novel.

This was a real romp down memory lane, and I really enjoyed it. Having lived in San Francisco when "Tales of the City" was being written, I have always enjoyed the series. However, after the first couple of books the plot line became too far fetched for me. Reading "Michael Tolliver Lives", brought back so many places and events that I hadn't thought about in years. As I continued reading, I felt like I was back in 'The City' catching up with old friends.
"Michael Tolliver Lives" is essentially about a miracle. That HIV-inflicted Michael is still alive after twenty years, not to mention being happy and productive, is reason enough to celebrate. I've always admired Maupin's literate humor and crisp characterizations, and even with his newly elegiac tone, the novel is upbeat and daring. Anna Madrigal is still lovingly depicted as the engaging, eccentric "logical" mother, and we're sad when she begins her inevitable decline. Though very much of another era, the old "Tales of the City" gang unites with its eye on the future. This is done with deceptive ease. A new era is previewed while not quite slamming the door on the old one. Michael Tolliver lives, and so do his cohorts. That bodes well for Maupin devotees as well!
Yes, Michael is different than he was back in the day but aren't we all? This book was sweet and funny and reminded me why I love Armistead Maupin so much. I hope that some of the people writing the critical reviews do not expect to be the same as they grow older. We all evolve--it is what is wonderful about life.
I eagerly awaited the release of this latest addition to the Tales of the City series. I was sadly disappointed. Michael Tolliver Lives should have been entitled Michael Tolliver Lives Armistead Maupin's Boring Life. The transparency of this book simply being a recounting of Maupin's life in San Francisco, (his latest romance, his need for testosterone injections, etc) is a sad, obvious piece of writing. I find myself wondering if this book wasn't written simply as a response to a need for money. The fact that, unlike the original series, Tolliver Lives is written in the first person simply increases the confusion over whether of not we are hearing Tolliver's voice or Maupin's. To add insult, the book is a short, simple read written at a seventh grade level. In fact, I read over half of it while waiting for the the author to appear at his signing. My greatest disappointment was the lack of Maupin's trademark use of clever crossed paths, a style device that in the past had drawn comparison to Charles Dickens. No one would make that comparison here.

Nearly two decades after ending his groundbreaking Tales of the City saga of San Francisco life, Armistead Maupin revisits his all-too-human hero Michael Tolliver—the fifty-five-year-old sweet-spirited gardener and survivor of the plague that took so many of his friends and lovers—for a single day at once mundane and extraordinary . . . and filled with the everyday miracles of living.

(Fun and Sexy)

(Sleeping with Money)

(Sleeping with Money by Barbara Katagiri)

(Yakuza and Salaryman Love Story)

(Surprisingly A Good One!!!)

I LOVED this book! The story was sexy and funny, and the sex was explicit and plentiful. The perfect recipe for yaoi. The book opens with Sagami "mounted atop" Tatsurou and about to collect on a debt. Only, the author flashes back to the preceding events just before the payoff. A truly delicious way to hook a reader.

Tatsurou is a yakuza. Only, the yakuza life isn't what it used to be. Sure, some people are afraid of him but his flashy car is borrowed and he barely makes enough money to live on. His role in the gang is to collect debts. When the gang president sends him to collect from an old man who owns a factory, Tatsurou runs into trouble. He knows the old man from when he took Tatsurou in as a kid. He can't bring himself to shake the man down. While drowning his woes in booze, he runs into an old school rival. Sagami isn't afraid of him and easily solves Tatsurou's problem by burning the debt note! Only, the gang is expecting that money and will come after him for it.

Sagami has been in love with Tatsurou since he cried after losing a kendo match when they were kids. He knows Tatsurou won't give up his tough guy image to be his lover without a fight. So, Sagami strikes a deal to loan the money in exchange for his body. Slowly, Sagami weans him away from the yakuza life (for which he really isn't suited anyway). Sagami is calm and collected through most of the story, while Tatsurou is the quintessential reluctant uke. Their battle of wills is delightful, and fun. Tatsurou is falling in love with Sagami, but doesn't understand the feeling since he's never been in love before.

The romance had a surprising depth, and the characters are very charming. I fell for the hot-tempered, tender-hearted Tatsurou immediately. And Sagami was dignified and loving, a nearly prefect seme. The translation was relatively smooth, and the story flowed well. Overall, I can't recommend this yaoi novel enough, and I will look for more by this author.

I though this book was great. I really have been enjoying the Yaoi Novels and this is one of my favorites. The story was fun and lighthearted and had everything and plenty of it that you look for in this type of book.
This is maybe the first time I read a yaoi novel where the story is almost as interesting as the sex... (not that I read so many, so maybe this is not an exception!).

Tatsurou is a yakuza member without the attitude: from a poor family and with hopes to improve his perspective, soon out of high school he joined up a gang and now lives as debt collector. The work is pretty simple, since the reputation of the gang is enough for him to collect the debt without really making nothing of nasty. But then he is asked to collect a debt from the one man that in the past tried to help him and Tatsurou can't do that. In a drunken stupor he makes a bargain with Sagami, a former high school mate, now president of an important financial firm: Sagami will borrow Tatsurou the money he needs in exchange of his body: the day in which they sing the contract Tatsurou surrenders his body to Sagami and again every month as interest till the day he could repay the borrowing.

Both Tatsurou than Sagami are interesting characters. Tatsurou is a good guy without perspective that earns his day in the only way he knows; he knows that he is not a tough guy and he fears the day when someone will uncover his disguise. When he makes the bargain with Sagami he knows what he will face but he didn't expect to enjoy it so much. As he refuses to admit that he is not a bad guy, he refuses to admit that he is attracted by Sagami, and justifies his surrendering with the fact that Sagami compels him and during sex he is tied down; but he knows very well that the ties that held him are as weaken as his opposition, and that he could break them when he wants.

Sagami felt in love with Tatsurou in high school: he was entranced by the young boy with the angel face and the fiery behavior; actually he felt in love the first time he saw tears in Tatsurou's eyes, and at first he tries to do all he can to see again that tears. But he really doesn't want to hurt Sagami, he wants to see that tears from pleasure not from pain. It's obvious that Sagami is enjoying what they are doing together, but if let him know believe that he is forced will leave to the guy his honor, he will do that, since he most of all loves Sagami's spirit will.

As always in this yaoi novel there is sex, and a lot of it, but it's not too much unbelievable as in other stories, even if multiple orgasm one after the other without resting time and the use of some sexual terms that in the past I only heard for female anatomy make me turn up my nose here and there. But well, it's funny, and no one is expecting reality from this type of fiction!
Is a story about a young Yakuza chief and a salary man, both of them met at a very young age when they were both participating in a kendo tournament, the salary man defeats the yakuza (sorry forgot their names) but the yakuza leaves a deep impression on the salary man, some years after they meet each other again in a bar, the yakuza tells him the story of his life how he have gotten on so many fights, how he had joined the yakuza group and how an old man had helped him when no one else would, and now he was been forced by his yakuza boss to collect a debt of 10 million yen which obviously the old man couldn't pay, and he didn't want to collect it either, so the salary man ends up burning the paper that included the debt, the next day the yakuza wakes up with a hang over realizing what they had done with the paper decides to go and look for the same man and collect the debt from him, the salary man simply refuses, desperate he ends up making a contract the money for exchange of having his body once a month,

****There starts the story with really sexy scenes, lots of troubles that they need to overcome and above all love, I definitely recommend it if you like yakuzas, salary mans and a little amount of sadism this is for you. And last but not least a seme totally in love with his uke.
First of all, i wasnt really that keen on getting this book after reading the summary in here and after reading some disappointing yaoi novels recently. I just bought this thinking what the heck its only 8.99 or something, so if its bad its not so painful. But boy oh boy!!!!!!!!!! AM I REALLY GLAD THAT my impulsiveness sometimes pays off. Worth the money and you are in for a surprise in this one. Its got some really plot, a past track storyline which could get you hook up and cannot wait for the next page (dont care much for the grammar problem, like some people do), and here's another thing if you are a YAOI FAN, celebrate in this one. It zizzzling hot. (You know what i mean, WINK) wheewww. This book is highly entertaining and have some comic moments. This one stays in my collection!! Katagiri san you Rock!!
Tatsuro, a good-looking yakuza who turns every head, is looking for a benefactor to take on his debts. Seizing that opportunity is Sagami, president of a large bank. However, even with all the wealth and power he could imagine, Sagami only wants Tatsuro!

(This One's A Keeper)

(Good from cover to cover)

(Definitely Fun Read)

(Your search for great lesbian fiction starts here.)

Wow--This book gets its hooks into you from the first paragraph and won't let go. Ingrid Diaz is brilliant. Her character of Alix is extremely compelling, and the dialogue between Alix and Valerie is killer!
Don't pass this one up.
One of the best things about this book is how it held my interest from page one all the way to the end. It had been a while since I'd picked up a book and was unable to put it down until it was done. I'm not generally a fan of the romantic genre, but this story has enough intrigue in it to keep my interest.

From the start, you get the feeling that something else is going on that Alix doesn't know about. And that suspicion only builds and builds until something is finally revealed at just the right moment. The twists and turns are very well paced and the resolution satisfies expectations. The characters are fresh and above all, they feel real. There's enough humour, angst, and action throughout, and the story never drags.
I liked this book for a number of reasons. It isn't a sappy romance where the two leads find each other and live happily ever after. That's way to boring. No. This book is phenomenal because while there is a love story going on, there is a great deal of humor and angst and intrigue going on too. There is never a dull moment and none of it feels forced. Just when you think you have it all figured out, Ingrid takes you in a completely new direction that challenges all of your earlier presumptions.

I found myself unable to put this book down and reading into the wee hours of the morning because I just had to find out what happened next. I laughed out loud frequently as the witty humor adds a lot to the story line. Diaz is very good at capturing realistic emotions and thought processes and putting that on the page so the reader really feels like these characters are real. This is a great fun book and I highly encourage you to pick up a copy. It's well worth the price.

To be quite honest, I have never been able to identify with lesbian characters in books as much as I have with the ones in this book. It is a romantic story packed with funny and exciting situations as well as familiar experiences. This is the book that convinced me to stop hating reading and that I should read more books -- and that was before it was even published. I love it.
Alix Morris has spent the past seven years of her life nurturing an unrequited love for her soon-to-be-married best friend. The pain from this silent longing has settled within her like a faithful companion and she's loathe to let it go. Two nights before the wedding, she agrees to an impromptu outing to a hip night club with a friend. There she meets wise-cracking Valerie Skye who unloosens some of those painful ties. But Valerie has some secrets of her own to overcome. Can Alix and Valerie untangle their pasts and hope the fate that brought them together isn't fickle?

(I'm Straight but this book was AMAZING)

(EXCELLENT READ - WORTH EVERY PENNY)

(AWESOME READ.............)

(Wonderful Beginnings lead to Happy Endings! 4.5)

(Favorite Book Of All Time)

I bought this book not knowing it was about lesbian relationships. I will admit the first page threw me for a loop but at the same time I wanted to continue reading. Before I knew it I was yelling at Carmen and Lena and I was wondering why aren't there any men like NIc and Denise. And Cooley....Well I know a few men who are just like her.

Although it was about lesbian women I found myself lost in the characters. I fell in love with the characters to the point that their sexuality meant nothing at all. This was an amazing book.

Kudos to Skyy. I never in a million years thought I would love a lesbian book...I recommend this to anyone, gay straight or in between.

And I also agree...I'm ready for part 2.
First of all I would like to applaud the author and if this it truly her first novel I say keep at it. Unlike many of the first time authors I've read, this book has a plot that, although you see coming a mile down the road she makes it work. I especially like that she took the time to flesh out her characters and make them real and not some fairytale, everything works out in the end, Barbie and Kenya. I agree with another commenter in that everyone can identify with at least one of the characters in this book, be you black, white, gay, lesbian or straight. It deals with learning to love yourself for who you are and the fact that sometimes you have to let "love" go to truly find it.

The book revolves around three friends, Denise, Cooley and Carmen and while I liked and identified a little with both Denise's and Carmen's characters, I have to say that I enjoyed Cooley's character much more. Mainly because she was not afraid to live her life. I think we should all have a Cooley in our lives to make sure we never forget to actually enjoy the time God grants us. The book speaks about the bonds and families that are created not by blood but through trials,laughter, hurts, comforts, and unceasing love.

My friend purchased this book for me and we read it as part of our book club and this book was awesome...Skyy makes the characters seems like they are in front of you or that you are part of the book. All of the characters seemed real life and not fictional. The book was so good that we bought books and sent them to our friends to read and our friends some of which is heterosexual loved the book and wanted to know when the next one was coming out. Skyy is very talented and knows how to catch the reader from the first line all the way through the end...and u will never be able to guess what is coming next cause she has all kinds of twists and turns and they are worth it. Great READ...can't wait for the sequel Consequences.
Choices was a wonderful debut from author Skyy. Denise is a character to love and Cooley will have the ladies purring like kitty cats with that KILLA CAP... she got. I loved the storyline and the way Skyy managed to keep us intrigued, page after page. The only element that she fail short on was the SEX. The erotic scenes were a tease and never delivered on the true passion that any of them felt when they found themselves 'giving it up'. Or maybe I just wanted them to get down with the get down. Ha ha.
Needless to say that if you have not checked out this book, you are missing out. Way to go Skyy and I hope you want keep us waiting much longer for CONSEQUENCES because you know you wrong for that ending! I wonder who SHE will choose.
This story was SOOOOOOO well written! I love this story from beg to end. I have NEVER read a book where I can relate to ALL the characters. I need the sequel like yesterday!
Set on the campus of Freedom University, a historically black college in Memphis, Tennessee, the lives and choices of four women are intertwined. Sexy and smart, Lena Jamerson has her whole life planned out for her. The daughter of two of Freedom s most prominent alums, it is a given that she will fulfill her Chi Theta Legacy as well as become engaged to NBA-bound Brandon Redding, or is it? With wealth, prestige and a beautiful body she could choose anything ... even someone new. Denise the reserved women's basketball champion has no time for dating. Her only choices are grades, game and becoming the first in her family to graduate, until a sexy stranger enters her life, causing her to reconsider her options. Playa of another flava, Cooley sparks curiosity of her own with women on both sides of the orientation fence. Will the choices of her past prevent the romance of her future? Meanwhile, Carmen's choices have given her a new exterior and a new lease on life. Can her sexy new shape get her into Chi Theta and a new romance? Or will the same internalized insecurities keep her from finding the love she deserves? In the school of life and love, what choices would you make?

(Most fun reading in a long time!)

(The Commitment: Yes, No, Maybe, Well, I Don't Know...)

(Same-Sex Marriage)

(A Good Read)

(Funny, intelligent personal memoir and comment on Gay Marriage)

I found myself laughing throughout the book. Very snappy writing and a story that I could identify with within my own relationship. The story echos today's society and the struggle (conflict) that a lot of relationships go through whether gay or straight. I think I loved the reactions of his son the best. A must read for anyone conflicted about marriage or a commitment ceremony.
This one I liked; it was fun reading about D.J. and good to see he has done so well with his Dads. The issues with his mom made my heart ache, and I wondered how that would progress over time. But the theme of the book - commitment - made my head ache. Back and forth, back and forth with the marriage thing. Dan makes the angst sound funny, although it wasn't at the time, I am sure. Still, in the end - I never quite got the point. It was entertaining reading for sure. Dan Savage could write a book about brushing his teeth and it would be funny. It's just with so few heterosexuals caring to get married and half of those who do divorcing, why the yen to do this straight-y thing?
Take a closer look at the issue of same-sex marriage with this examination and criticism of both sides of the debate.

An excellent sequel to Savage's The Kid. Funny, heartwarming, and thought-provoking all at the same time.
One of the things I liked best about this book was that Dan Savage didn't just destroy the arguments against gay marriage, but he also correctly criticized many of the popular arguments in favor of gay marriage for succumbing to the same double-standards as the opposition. What was left was arguments that are rational, clearly stated, and funny.

Savage's personal story is well told, reflective, and entertaining.
In a time when much of the country sees red whenever the subject of gay marriage comes up, Dan Savageoutspoken author of the column Savage Love makes it personal.

Dan Savages mother wants him to get married. His boyfriend, Terry, says no thanks because he doesnt want to act like a straight person. Their six-year-old son DJ says his two dads arent allowed to get married, but that hed like to come to the reception and eat cake. Throw into the mix Dans straight siblings, whose varied choices form a microcosm of how Americans are approaching marriage these days, and you get a rollicking family memoir that will have everyonegay or straight, right or left, single or marriedhowling with laughter and rethinking their notions of marriage and all it entails. BACKCOVER: Hilarious, heartfelt.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer

As funny as David Sedariss essay collections, but bawdier and more thought-provoking.
Publishers Weekly(starred review)

Most of all, a book about creating and appreciating family.
Seattle Times

I think America would be a better place if everyone on every side of the gay marriage debate would read this book.
Ira Glass, host of the public radio showThis American Life

The strongest argument here, which [Savage] brilliantly plays down, is that family means everything to these people: married, not married, blended, gay, straight, whatever.

(Wonderful story)

(Willow Bend)

(Formulaic story)

(Willow Bent)

(WILLOW BEND)

I am a huge fan of this book and have read it through several times. The angst and longing in the story are a wonderful combination in the story Ally has created.
Paul Gordon makes a sudden and unexpected move from the Pacific Northwest to the tiny town of Willow Bend, South Carolina; to a house he's bought sight unseen. Paul is still recuperating from a terrible auto accident, which happened fourteen months earlier that left him with a number of broken bones and took the life of his lover. Paul is determined to convert the barn loft into an artist's studio, using his plans to focus away from the memories of his accident and the pain he still experiences from his injuries.

Paul is astonished to find that, instead of the small, back-in-time village he's been expecting, Willow Bend proves to be a lively, up-to-date, gay-friendly community. At the restaurant, Paul's server Cory is an appealing young man whose signals Paul interprets as possible interest; but for Paul, dating and relationships are on ice forever. In the accident that damaged him, Paul lost his life partner, Jay. Even his libido has shriveled to nothing, but seeing Cory changes that immediately.

Cory works two jobs, waiting tables at Uncle Charley's Place, and leading kayak tours to Otter Island, to keep up a home for his invalid mother. Despite the fact that he has no personal time, for in addition, he must keep up repairs on his mother's run-down home, but he can't keep his mind or his eyes from straying to Paul.

I really enjoyed Willow Bend. I live in a really small town in which some of the stereotyping is straight out of Reconstruction Days, so it was pleasure to read of a community with the same feel to it as mine. Ally Blue delves deeply into her characters from the first page, making the reader feel as the characters do, and touching our hearts along with them. Willow Bend was a really exciting book for me, as it promises that hope can rise from the cold dry ashes of despair, and that life is not over until death takes you. Willow Bend's premise of course does include m/m intimacy, but I found it tasteful and should not offend most readers, I highly recommend this book.
"Willow Bend" by Ally Blue is competently written in that there is a "course of true love doesn't run true" kind of story line that is coherent, but there is very little originality otherwise. You have to conclude that the thin plot is basically a structure for the sex scenes, which are very explicit and, again, competently rendered. Little more to say about this one. There are certainly better gay genre books out there.
Are there not enough good men writers? I found the sex scenes to be completely contrived and sanitized. Boring!
This is a story about two men facing the challenges of life, together and apart. One young man works two jobs and acts as the primary caregiver for his invalid mother. The other has moved to a new place to start a new life a little over a year after losing his partner in a tragic accident.

The two men meet and are instantly attracted. That is the moment most romances lose credibility for me, but not this one. Despite the instant attraction, however, there's not an immediate HEA. Things don't work out right away. This is the most realistic romance I've read in a long time. We actually get to watch the relationship progress and grow, and we get to experience the bumps and bruises along the way.

The sex is hot, but it's also tender and beautiful and full of emotion. The men are real, with real feelings and real fears. Ally Blue is known for angst, but "angst-filled" seems like such a crude and simple description for such a deeply touching novel. The men in this book experience things any of us could experience. These aren't dramatic situations made up just for the sake of selling a book. I am as hard-hearted as they get when it comes to books, but even I became a little misty-eyed a few times while reading WILLOW BEND.

I read WILLOW BEND as an e-book, but I loved it so much that I plan to buy the book in print as soon as I can. That's rare for me, and I consider it a testament to Ally Blue's talent for writing beautiful M/M romance.
Can two men from different worlds cut the ties binding them to heartaches past and present, and make a life together? For Paul Gordon, the little town of Willow Bend, South Carolina is the perfect place to start over. A place where he can move on after his lover's death, alone and anonymous. Cory Saunders is just trying to survive. Between working two jobs and caring for his ailing mother, it's all he can do to keep his head above water. When Paul and Cory meet, their mutual attraction is undeniable. When the intense physical attraction starts to blossom into something deeper, neither wants to admit to what's happening. Cory doesn't have time for a relationship, and Paul isn't sure he's ready for one. But sometimes, what you thought you couldn't have turns out to be exactly what you need. Warning: this title contains explicit male/male sex and graphic language.
