Sequel to Eyes Only for MeEyes of Love: Book Two Marcello Bagnini has a history of falling for the wrong men, and it seems he's done it again. Working out at the gym with his straight friend Jerry is becoming harder by the day-in more ways than one. Worse yet, Jerry isn't the only one who notices Marcello's wandering eyes. So instead of risking his friendship with Jerry and alienating the other guys at the gym, Marcello keeps his feelings to himself. Real estate agent Jerry Foland has never explored his interest in other men, but there's something different about Marcello, and Jerry's starting to think he might like to see where his attraction could lead. However, Jerry's controlling father makes it clear that it's either stay on the straight and narrow or Jerry can say good-bye to his family. As much as they try to stay away from each other, their lives overlap, both at the gym and when Jerry is contracted to sell the home of one of Marcello's friends. Friendship grows into more, but Jerry's father has his own agenda, and it doesn't include having a gay son. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Marcello loves working out at the gym with a group of friends, but he has had his eye on Jerry in particular for a while. Not that Marcello will let anything come of it – Jerry is straight, Marcello has gone through major heartbreak before, and he’d rather be Jerry’s friend than put his heart out there to get stomped on again.
Jerry has been interested in men, even if he won’t admit it for fear of being gay – something his homophobic, aggressive, domineering father would never accept. But Jerry’s interest in Marcello is becoming more explicit and doesn’t seem to want to go away. The questions Jerry has to answer are not easy ones: how intense is his attraction to Marcello and does that make him bi, and how bad can his already strained relationship with his father get if he gives in to his need to explore what he feels for Marcello.
Jerry and Marcello have a tough time figuring out what they want, how much negativity from their families they can take, and how important they are to each other. While Marcello doesn’t struggle with his sexuality, he does need to decide if he can risk putting himself out there again. Jerry has a tough time coming to terms with the fact that he is bi and attracted to a man who is also his friend. He goes back and forth a few times, and the slightest hint of disapproval makes him reconsider – initially. But as time goes on, external factors become less important, and Jerry begins to realize that he is the one in charge of his happiness – and that seems to lie with Marcello.
If you like stories with characters who face life-changing decisions, if you want to learn more about a man who realizes his sexuality is not what he has been told, nor what he has told himself it is, and if you’re looking for a read that is emotionally intense and reveals the struggle some go through when coming to terms with their sexuality, you will probably like this book as much as I do. Jerry and Marcello’s story offers a fascinating look at two men who learn about more than love as they develop and grow together. I found it painful to watch in some places, yet very uplifting in the end.
