Dan can't wait to leave his office work and head for the
gym. He's comfortable around the other guys and just
enjoys a workout - until the day a professional bodybuilder
shows up with a deep voice and a body to die for...
according to Dan! But at forty, he can't see why a man in
his late twenties would be interested.
According to a magazine article, the hunk, Gene, is gay,
out and articulate. Next time at the gym Dan and Gene spot
for each other on the weight exercises. Gene recruits for
technology positions so he and the older computer
programmer have something in common. They chat, get on
well and Gene asks Dan out to dinner. Can his life get any
better? But the man who dumped Dan nine months previously
turns up again after being dumped by his own new boyfriend,
and asks to come back into Dan's life. Now what?
SPOT ME shows that gay people have relationship dilemmas
just the same as straight people, and Dan's self-
consciousness could apply to any person at any age. Luckily
Dan has good friends, and not just at the gym. Gene is
tired of dating men who are well-built but have no
intellect. But they don't all like being told it's over....
I really enjoyed reading about the food eaten by these two
health-conscious men - tea without milk but with cranberry,
duck and poached pear salad, roast duck with raspberry
sauce, chicken with herbs and wild rice. The regular
weightlifting workouts described will surely enhance this
book for gym fans and may even spur them on to achieve
success. SPOT ME is a nice read and Andrew Grey, while
writing for an adult gay market, has delivered a good short
novel for today's readers.
Working out is a daily routine for Dan, who meets his friend Lonnie at the gym to lift weights. But breaking a sweat takes on a whole new meaning when Dan sees Gene, a professional bodybuilder, in the mirror. Dan knows it's a lost cause: he's forty and nursing a broken heart, nowhere in the same league as gorgeous Gene. Then at the gym the next day, Gene asks Dan if he can work out with him. A bet wins Dan a smoothie and conversation, which surprisingly leads to a date. Now Dan is faced with a dilemma: does he allow Gene to elbow his way into his life, or will he give up on the idea of a new relationship before it even starts?
