Pretty Man

I loved this book . Aside for the similarities/parody aspects of it in relation to the movie, Pretty Woman-- I found it to be a very pleasant and VERY sexy M/M Romance. This is a reprint and I'm glad it is being re-released or I might have missed it.

Roland and Josh are both interesting and lovable characters. It's funny though because as I read, I did not picture them at all like the men in the cover art.

If you appreciate the erotic content in a gay romance, this book is overflowing with it. Each encounter being uniquely different from the previous one. I'm saying-- there is sex on nearly every page. What worked best about this for me was the fact that though their relationship is 'contract based', it always felt real and casual like sex between friends. As you can imagine, things get a little complicated in the process but it never goes outside of realistic behavior.

Two different worlds collide-- between the sheets and then in the hearts of two special men-- in spite of the sometimes amusing/annoying interference of Roland's flamboyant Ex.

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ryan Field has another winner with Pretty Man, a gay take on the Julia Roberts movie. Rich guy hires a male prostitute to impersonate his boyfriend, and they have lots of very hot, well-written sex, and emotions begin to develop between them.

Both characters are well-drawn and believable, and the book moves quickly between the many bedroom scenes and the protagonists' interactions with outsiders. If you like a good sexy read with an actual plot and three-dimensional characters, you can't go wrong with Pretty Man.

Roland is a man that after a relationship of over 20-years and been dumped, he met Josh, a young guy, and pay him to be his fake boyfriend for one week, like a male escort.
I truly liked the introduction that explain the problem we in the LGBT community have found in the LGBT content (books or movies), and the author wrote that he wrote about an asexual character, but frankly I can’t remember someone even close to be asexual.
I’m giving this book 4 stars, but that review feels more like a 3,5 stars.
I liked this book, one of the LGBT book with a happy ending! No tears here, honey.
It has really good description of place and sex scenes (it really describes everything) and has a strong language.

IT MIGHT CONTAIN SOME LITTLE SPOILER, I SWEAR NOTHING REALLY BIG THOUGH.

And there was something that I couldn’t really get, why every time Roland wants to give Josh a blowjob he has to be naked, I mean you will only use your mouth or/and your hands.
They experienced some sex stuff that probably were too much for me, that are not exactly my type of things, and I don’t fully liked it, but obviously this thought is extremely personal.
Maybe I was a little disappointed because I was expecting maybe more romantic and fluffy shit, but I got it only in the very last chapters.
Another thing that I didn’t like was that more than one Josh use the word pussy to describe Roland’s hole, but the whole thing about homosexual sex is exactly that there is no pussy here, and I don’t think that a gay man would say something like that to his partner.
Roland and Josh can get along with each other even though they’re really different kind of people. Speaking of, I like the age difference but I think that it wasn’t really highlighted, the author decided to bring that up only when Roland was getting ready for some mundane party.
This seemed like a gay and more smutty version of fifty shades of grey.
But in the end I liked it, even though I wouldn’t recommend this to everyone one, maybe to may gay best friend and his boyfriend, they would probably take some ideas.

Pretty Man by Ryan Field
ARC c/o Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Premise of the book is a M/M version of Pretty Women

I really liked these characters Josh ( hired escort) & Roland - wealthy businessman burned by his ex lover who left him for a younger man

Sex between the two is pretty explosive & just seems like it’s happening every few pages.

Really interesting concept & follows the heterosexual version of one of my favorite moves.

Enjoyable read
