 Wow...Who'd Have Thought... Nov 19, 2007
I loved this book! Considering I'm a strait woman I started reading this thinking I wouldn't get far but because I read just about everything I had to try it. This was one of the most sweet and intense love stories I've ever read, and I've read hundreds of romance novels. The emotion between Blayne and Ben was so...REAL. Honestly I expected this to be a cheesy book, but besides the little bit of excess lovey-dovey that makes a romance novel what it is, it was realistic. And I'm not necessarily talking about the story line because a few aspects were far fetched, which yet again goes along with the romance book tradition. These characters had life changing moments that everyone could relate to and then some that I could never truely understand but that the authors made me understand better than I thought I could. I actually cried at the end and I rarely do that over a book. This story was flat out beautiful. For those women who are considering this read let me tell you that the sex sences are detailed but tastful. I had no problem with the love sences so don't let the cover throw you off. If you feel like trying something new don't hesitate to read this book. You'll find that if you're a sucker for a steamy kiss and a happily ever after, gay or strait, this is the book to read.

Razor Burn (A Romentics Novel) by Scott & Scott Sep 14, 2007
Ben and Blayne (what a pair of names) meet in a coffee shop in a lazy afternoon. Blayne is not searching company, at least is what he says, but he is in a gay quarter and in a gay local, and so Ben is a little pushy.
Ben manages to bring Blayne home and then in bed. But then Blayne flies away: he is married and he is straight! Not a believable excuse. Leaving he says to Ben to send him his resume: Ben is unemployed and maybe Blayne could do something... It's a joke but Ben sends the resume and Blayne's father, Garret, chooses to assume him. And so Blayne and Ben, with Todd and Emily, two friends, find themself to a side of a barricate and in the other side there is Garret and Jeanette, Blayne's wife. The war is about the launch of a new product for Mandatory, the Garret's firm: a new razor.
The book is interesting, a good mix of romance and story. Maybe also a little of suspence, even if, clue by clue, you can manage to unveal the truth way soon before it's unveiled by the story.
A story begins like a flirt ends in a love me forever feeling. When I read about this book, strangely I have ever had the feeling it was much more hard. Sex is not the main aspect and not the only reason to substain the plot. Maybe also the original print cover gives you that impression. I really like more the ebook version cover.
At this point I can say that I will be glad to read also the other stories this duo, Scott & Scott, have already written.

An enjoyable Romance Jul 21, 2007
I love romance novels and was looking for something different when I bought this one. I was hooked from the very beginning. The plot of the story may sound like something from a cheesy made-for-TV movie, but I found myself drawn into the story, anxious for Ben and Blayne's happy ending. Intriguing characters, a page turning mystery, surprise twist near the end, delightful secondary characters and a heartfelt romance.
The romance between Ben and Blayne was hot and passionate, their love sweet and tender. Ben's vulnerability and confusion was heartbreaking, hid well behind his indifferent attitude. Blayne's determination to be free from his father's control and domineering wife was inspiring. Their story brought a smile to this die-hard romantic's face.
Very well written. I'm looking forward to my next Romentics novel.

 Really Nice! Nov 27, 2006
Nice surprise. Interesting homosexual (major) and heterosexual (minor) romances going here. This book kept my attention almost to the very end. The ending was just a mess, but no big deal. Will I try another in this series, no, I don't think so, but I really liked this one. Four solid stars.

Wonderful STory! Terrific Ending! Nov 09, 2006
This story had a great element of unsolved and unresolved questions that kept you reading to the end. The ending was an unexpected surprise which I appreciate in a book. The characters were well-developed and I loved that they had different personalities. I loved that Blayne was so introverted, soft-spoken and completely dominated by his father. You were therefore waiting for him to take a stand. I loved that the tension during these moments was palpable. This is the first book I have read of Scott and Scott and have ordered two more. The writing is fluent, the story moves along with great plot and character development. Fantastic ending!!
