5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down!, 18 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I found myself so involved with this book I read it in two sittings. I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen with Alex and Nick's "doomed" relationship. I also found myself intrigued by the insight to the soap world, I don't follow any myself, but now I feel I must pick up on one. I only wish there were pictures of every character in this book, except for Barney.

5.0 out of 5 stars charming and funny, 7 Oct 1997
By A Customer
An engaging story of the first love of a cute college junior, Alex. The object of his affection and lust is Nick, a law student who is gorgeous, sexy and sweet but seriously attached . A brief torrid affair and a broken-hearted Alex went on to a successful career as a daytime soap opera actor and a closeted gorgeous TV actor boyfriend. However disaster struck when Alex is outed publicly and he refused to deny his sexuality. The incident resulted in some positive happenings in his life though - like Nick! Light stuff but definitely worth a reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outed soap star pursues his dream, 23 Jan 2007
By Benjamin (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Alexander Young is a handsome actor playing the popular villain Simon in the daytime soap Hearts Crossing, in his twenties, and doing very well until a national tabloid prints a picture of him kissing his boyfriend. The fall-out affects his relationship with his lover, pretty boy model and upcoming TV star Trevor, and his role in Hearts Crossing. Shortly after Alex's outing in the press the producers of the Hearts Crossing reveal his character Simon as gay, and turn him into an even more bizarre villain. He has to deal with irate as well as over enthusiastic fans, a vociferous and mixed press and the enraged Gay movement. However the loss of his lover is not so much of a problem for Alex, after all he has never gotten over Nick, his first love from college; not that ever had him exclusively in the first place; but he always lives in hope.
As Alex narrates his story of his role in Hearts Crossing and subsequent events, he gradually fills us in on the history of his frustratingly unrequited relationship from his very first chance encounter with Nick, who stubbornly remains faithful to his dorky partner. While Alex and Nick maintain a casual relationship, will Alex ever realise his dream and have Nick to himself?
Don't be misled by the cover picture, while there is plenty of lust and desire, this is no sordid story. Christian McLaughlin has produced a lovely romantic tale, while at the same time sending up showbiz and soap operas with wit and plenty of humour.

1.0 out of 5 stars A load of tosh
I'm not sure why I read this load of rubbish all the way through to the end. There is not a single likeable character in the book. Read more
