Summary:

In his real life, Manu Contrares makes a decent living as a videographer in New York. But when his mother goes into hospice, he heads home to Bay Valley to help take care of her and ends up back at his first job on the janitorial staff of the local college. It feels like a long step down for a proud Hispanic man.

Chris Hall loves teaching but hates research. That’s becoming a big problem because his third-year faculty review is coming up and if he doesn’t make something happen soon, he’ll be out. He’s spending his nights working in the lab on a Hail Mary attempt to save his job.

When the two men meet, it’s explosive. And complicated. Chris is lily-white and culturally tone-deaf and Manu’s only in town for a short stay. It’s a recipe for heartbreak. Still, the pull between them is too strong for either to ignore. Can they overcome their different backgrounds and somehow surmount the geographical problems, or is this a fling that will leave them both more exhausted and lonely than before?

Review:

With a poignant storyline, an appealing cast of characters and sizzling hot love scenes, Making Home by Dev Bentham is a captivating romance between two unlikely partners.

Manu Contrares is back in Bay Valley for a heartbreaking reason and he has enough on his plate without a romantic entanglement complicating his life. He is also not a relationship kind of guy so he is disconcerted by his strong attraction to Professor Chris Hall whose cultural insensitivity is particularly irritating. So why is Manu suddenly eager to catch a glimpse of the biology professor during his nightly rounds cleaning the college?

Chris loves teaching but he is struggling to produce the research he needs for tenure. Despite his efforts to concentrate on his current project, he finds himself too easily distracted as he waits for the nightly appearance of too sexy for words Manu.  With his professional future riding on making significant progress on his research project, the last thing Chris needs is to give in to his unexpected attraction to Manu.

While their initial meetings get off on the wrong foot, Manu and Chris cannot deny the sexual chemistry that simmers beneath the surface every time they see one another. Both men have compelling reasons to ignore their mutual attraction, but they find it surprisingly easy to eventually agree to a no strings fling.  After indulging in several explosive encounters, neither Manu nor Chris can deny their feelings go deeper than casual sex. But with Manu planning to return to New York and Chris chasing tenure at Bay Valley U, will they find  way to overcome the obstacles that are preventing them making their relationship permanent?

Making Home by Dev Bentham is a scorching hot romance that fans of the genre are sure to love. Manu and Chris are endearing characters with all too realistic flaws and imperfections. The storyline is quite emotional and both protagonists undergo significant growth.  An absolutely outstanding beginning to the Bay Valley U series that will leave readers eagerly awaiting the next installment.

Summary:

Everyone deserves a second chance. Or do they? Sean and Martim fell in love at Harvard. Things broke apart when Martim fell into a downward spiral of addiction after his father died. Sean kicked him out but has regretted it ever since. He’s never gotten over losing Martim. But then, not many aspects of his life have lived up to his collegiate dreams.

When he’s sent to evaluate Martim’s family hotel for foreclosure, Sean is once again in the position to put Martim out on the street. In the time since they parted, Martim has pulled himself together, although both health and financial problems linger as a result of his years as an addict. Can the two men bridge the gap of distance and time to rekindle their relationship, or will they fall apart again under the burdens of guilt and disease?

Set in Lisbon, Portugal, this is the story of lovers reunited after more than a decade apart, and their second chance at romance.

Review:

Buyout-A Love Story by Dev Bentham is a beautifully written second chance at love romance.

Sean Williams has never quite recovered from losing Martim Sabido. Ten years after their romance came to a regrettable end, he has a successful career but no one to share his life with. When his job brings him face to face with Martim, he quickly realizes that he has never quite gotten over him and Sean dreads the task his boss has given him: begin foreclosure proceedings on Martim’s family business. Over the next days, the men reconnect and begin the process of healing the wounds from their long ago past, but can Sean destroy the business that means so much to Martim and his beloved aunt?

The timing could not be more perfect for Sean and Martim to meet again.  Martim has finally conquered his addictions and he has no problem expressing his regret for the sorrow and pain that he brought to Sean. Sean has just realized that he is still trying to atone for what he did to Martim all those years ago. Deciding to temporarily ignore the looming foreclosure, Sean and Martim’s first attempt to connect on a more personal level is fraught with tension.  However, their lingering feelings and intense attraction give them the impetus they need to try to heal the rift between them.  Will Martim’s final revelation destroy the progress they have made in repairing their fractured relationship? And will Sean follow through with his boss’s instructions to foreclose on Martim’s property?

Buyout-A Love Story by Dev Bentham is a heartwarming romance than fans of the genre do not want to miss.  The characters are endearing with true to life flaws and imperfections.  Sean and Martim’s reunion is free from angst and their attempts to resolve their issues are realistically portrayed.  A sweet yet sensual second chance at love romance that is fast-paced and engaging with an absolutely heartfelt conclusion that will melt readers’ hearts.

Summary:

Money can’t buy happiness. Jacob Nussbaum knows this better than anyone. He’s a corporate lawyer deep inside a huge New York firm, where he works overtime, sacrifices any chance at a personal life, and has been selling his soul for years. With a secretary as his only friend, he trudges on, until his whole world is blown apart by a manila envelope of photos—evidence that one of the firm’s partners is the dirtiest lawyer in one hell of a filthy business.

In search of the truth, Jacob travels to a small northern Wisconsin fishing resort. There he meets Ben Anderson, a brutally lonely man, who knocks him off his feet. Ben prompts Jacob to reevaluate his life. He’s a dozen years older than Jacob, still recovering from the death of his long time love, and doesn’t want to leave anyone a widower. But a jaded New Yorker on a soul-searching mission might be just the man to convince the grieving Ben that it’s never too late to begin again.

Review:

Whistle Blower by Dev Bentham is a sweet and sultry novel of healing for widower Ben Anderson. Still grieving the death of his longtime partner of twenty-five years when he meets Jacob Nussbaum, Ben gradually comes to terms with his loss but is he ready to commit to another relationship?

In his mid-thirties, Jacob has sacrificed his personal life to achieve professional success and despite making partner, he still continues to work long hours. After receiving an envelope from an anonymous source containing damning evidence against senior partner Marvin Voss, Jacob suffers a crisis of conscience over his chosen profession. As a corporate lawyer who helps major corporations settle disputes to their advantage, he has always maintained a degree of separation from the victims in the law suits. However, after viewing the photos from the chemical spill case he worked on with Voss, Jacob decides that no matter the cost to his career, he has no choice but to find proof that Voss is guilty of ethical misconduct.

The first step in Jacob’s investigation is to track down opposing lawyer Carl Halverson at a remote Wildcat Island Resort in northern Wisconsin. Upon his arrival, he discovers that Carl has changed his arrival date but Jacob decides to take advantage of his time off. Although completely out of his element, he relaxes for the first time in years and he enjoys spending time in Ben’s company and learning to row a scull. At the same time, Jacob continues to re-evaluate his life but he remains uncertain about his plans for his future and the situation with Voss.

After Manny’s death, Ben moved to Wisconsin and began operating the lodge year round. Although he has been gone for two years, Ben cannot bring himself to clear out Manny’s clothes or spread his ashes. Despite indulging in a couple of meaningless one night stands in the intervening years, Ben is nowhere near ready for another relationship which is why his attraction to Jacob catches him completely off guard. He genuinely likes the younger man and while he is willing to agree to a no strings fling, Ben is unprepared for his growing feelings for Jacob.

Ben and Jacob’s relationship begins with friendship and gradually turns to sexual once they decide to act on their mutual attraction. Their encounters are deliciously steamy and both men are surprised by their emotional connection. When it is time for Jacob to return to New York, their parting is a little bittersweet and they begin corresponding by e-mail. Jacob returns to Wisconsin to meet face to face with Carl and while waiting for his arrival, he resumes his fling with Ben. Both men realize their feelings run deeper than desire, but Ben refuses to take their relationship to the next level in an effort to protect Jacob from future heartache. Another trip provides Jacob vital information about Voss and unexpectedly leads to disagreement with Ben that completely derails their burgeoning romance.

Whistle Blower is a beautifully written romance that is remarkably free from unnecessary drama or angst. Ben and Jacob are well-rounded protagonists who are flawed yet immensely appealing. The resort setting is quite unique and Dev Bentham brings the remote island and its surroundings vibrantly to life. With its distinctive storyline and charming cast of characters, Whistle Blower is a realistic and engaging love story that I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend to fans of the genre.

Summary:

Bad choices. We all make them, some more than others. Dusty’s choices have left him unemployed, broke and practically homeless. Despite the major issues he has with his family, his only rational choice is to sell everything and move into his parents’ basement. At thirty. Looking for a ride west, he answers a phone ad. The voice at the other end of the line flows like dark, rich honey. Finally something to look forward to—listening to Joe’s voice all the way from Illinois to Idaho.

Rather than the hip crooner of Dusty’s fantasies, Joe turns out to look more like a panhandler. Is that because Joe dresses down, or are Dusty’s preconceptions about Native Americans clouding his vision? Joe is silent more often than not. He has a complicated past and still has amends to make. But he is ready to move on. Dusty feels trapped. Two damaged men, one small car driving two thousand miles into the sun—sometimes things need to break down before they can get fixed.

The Review:

Driving into the Sun by Dev Bentham is a beautiful romance of healing and new beginnings for two men who have finally begun to triumph over their disastrous pasts. This incredibly engaging story is an interesting study in contrasts between the men, their backgrounds, and their careers but the one thing they share in common is how much their personal choices have cost them both professionally and personally. It is also very fascinating that although their issues are completely different, the emotional impact is very similar.

Driving into the Sun opens with Dusty Walker at his lowest point as he begins preparations to leave Chicago and return to his hometown in northern Idaho. Unhappy does not even begin to express his feelings about moving back in with his parents, but he gets a bit of a pick me up when he hears the sexy voice of the man he will be riding with on his trip home. Joe Black has worked hard to repair his career and now with a clean slate, he is on his way to Seattle where he is looking forward to beginning a new job. But while Joe has made huge strides in his professional life, he is still carrying some pretty heavy emotional baggage in his personal life.

Both Dusty and Joe are fantastic characters and while both are immensely appealing, Dusty is still a frustrating mess in the beginning of the story. He has not really dealt with the fallout over the spectacular crash and burn of his career and he is continuing to make some pretty horrible decisions. Fortunately Joe is pretty unflappable and easily forgives Dusty’s questionable choices, but it is his calming presence that makes the biggest difference for Dusty as he sorts through his tumultuous emotions. But Joe’s past is not completely resolved and it is a huge shock to Dusty when his offhand suggestion leads to surprising revelations from Joe and their side trip leads to an unanticipated outcome for both men.

What makes Driving into the Sun such an refreshing read is the backdrop of the road trip as Dusty and Joe literally and figuratively travel from the past into the future. Joe knows what is ahead for him and he is eager to embrace what lies ahead. Dusty also knows what is next for him but he is dreading what is waiting for him at the end of his journey. Since Dusty has not fully reconciled his mistakes, he sees no other future for himself and this leads to a bit of anxiety regarding his relationship with Joe.

A richly developed and believable romance that resonates with strong emotion, Driving into the Sun is a superb novel that is quite captivating. Dev Bentham brings together two very complex and damaged characters who find love despite their insecurities and rather messy lives. The close confines of the car and the stops along the way provide an intimate setting for Dusty and Joe to divulge their secrets and explore their attraction. The sex scenes between them are exquisitely detailed and are a perfect blend of sweet and sexy.

Driving into the Sun is an  outstanding novel that I highly recommend to readers of contemporary gay romances.

Summary:

You can’t go home again—Nick’s motto for the past twenty years. He was a teenager when he and his mom left his mentally ill and abusive father back in a small town in the northwoods of Wisconsin. Nick’s made a life for himself as an artist in New York with a new show scheduled in nine months. He should be in a painting frenzy but so far he’s hanging empty canvas. Then comes the call—his estranged father has killed himself. Nick flies home to Lacland, a house crumbling from years of neglect and one very fat bulldog.

Jonas doesn’t love his job as a research lab veterinarian, although he enjoys volunteering on his boyfriend’s canine behavioral studies. But when he discovers his so called life partner is messing around, Jonas leaps at a job offer in a small town miles away.

Despite the grief swirling around Nick and Jonas, their first meeting is electric. But Nick’s only in town for a short time and Jonas is still stinging from the betrayal. They try to keep their distance, but that’s easier said than done. Especially in a small town where misery and hope share the same address.

The Review:

Nobody’s Home by Dev Bentham is a leisurely paced romance between two men who unexpectedly find love in the midst of personal upheaval. Jonas is looking for a new beginning when he impulsively accepts a job in Lacland. Nick has reluctantly returned to Laclan to settle his long estranged father’s estate. They indulge in an anonymous hookup but when their paths later cross their attraction for one another is undeniable but will their unresolved pasts destroy their future?

Nick and Jonas are perfect for each other but neither is emotionally ready for a relationship. Jonas is fresh out of a long term relationship and he also has some self-esteem issues to work through. Nick is trying to make sense of his father’s mental illness as he deals with funeral arrangements and settles his dad’s estate. Agreeing that a romantic entanglement is unwise, Nick and Jonas instead agree to a friends’ only relationship.

While there is a romantic element to Nobody’s Home, it is mainly a journey of self-discovery and starting over for both Nick and Jonas. The chapters alternate between Jonas and Nick’s viewpoints and it is not until the second half of the novel that their lives fully converge. Both men are quite contemplative as they reflect on their respective pasts but the biggest obstacle standing between them are Nick’s future plans. This part of the storyline takes the longest to play out, but the realistic resolution is well worth the wait.

Nobody’s Home is an absolutely delightful story with superbly developed protagonists, adorable dogs and a wonderfully unique storyline. Dev Bentham tackles a difficult subject with sensitivity and shines a much needed light on an often misunderstood mental illness. Another magnificent romance by a very gifted storyteller that I highly recommend to fans of this genre.

Friday Feature: Interview & Contest Dev Bentham

Kathy: It is my extreme pleasure to welcome, Dev Bentham, one of my favorite all time authors to Book Reviews & More by Kathy today. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer a few nosy probing questions for me and my readers.

How did you begin your writing career?

Ms. Bentham: All I ever wanted was to write, but it’s taken me a long time and a very windy road to get here. My first time around in college I earned an English degree and followed it with a year in a post-graduate writing program. I spent my twenties publishing short stories and poems in feminist/literary journals, ten years of which earned me something like $100 and a shelf full of contributor copies. Meanwhile I was paying the rent through a series of low pay/low skill jobs. Sometime in my 30’s I got tired of being broke and went back to school. I really just intended to learn a skill and get a good job, but I ended up staying in school until I’d gotten all the available degrees. Then I still couldn’t bring myself to leave, so I got a job at a university teaching biology (I know, where did that come from?). After about ten years, I stepped out of my tenured position to teach online. While there were a number of personal reasons why that made sense, the thing I was really excited about was that I’d have time and emotional energy to write again. I wrote a couple of mainstream novels before discovering m/m romance, which seems to fit my psyche perfectly, so here I am.

Kathy: Where do you get the inspiration for your novels? Just your imagination? Real life events? Both?

Ms. Bentham: Both. I usually start with something from my own life—a place I’ve lived or visited (Painting in the Rain and Sacred Hearts) or a job I’ve had (August Ice, Learning from Isaac and Fields of Gold) or something relatively random like a Zumba class (Moving in Rhythm), and a character. The stories grow from there. I do most of my plotting “work” in bed late at night and early in the morning when I’m half in my dreams and get to lay there telling myself a story.

Kathy: What types of books do you read? Do your choices as a reader influence the type of books you write?

Ms. Bentham: I’m an omnivorous reader. I always have at least three books going. On my mp3 I often have a “serious” book because there’s something about listening that ramps up my internal English major. I usually have an m/m romance or paranormal on my kindle (although I try not to read in my own genre when I’m in the middle of a story) and I have a huge stack of gay and lesbian mysteries to read in the bathtub. While I’m sure that what I read has some subliminal influence on my work, I seem to write the same sorts of books no matter what I’m reading.

Kathy: It is no secret that I absolutely LOVED your Tarnished Souls series (read my reviews of the series HERE). I particularly liked how Jewish holidays were incorporated with the overall storyline. Did you initially plan on writing a series? Did the plots develop from the holiday you were writing about or was the characters’ personal dilemma the deciding factor?

Ms. Bentham: Thank you. I’m delighted you enjoyed the series. There’s something a little haphazard about how it began. I’d just finished writing August Ice, a story I had expected to go smoothly (after all it was diving and that’s one of my many past jobs), except I hadn’t anticipated how much research it would take to write a story set in Antarctica where I had to look up EVERYTHING and endlessly watch YouTube videos. I wanted to write something very familiar. So I created a story about a Jewish biology professor teaching at a (fictional) Midwestern college. Loose Id accepted Learning from Isaac and set a spring release date. There’s a Passover seder in the story, so LI suggested we could release it as a Passover holiday story. The idea cracked me up. I’m quite sure mine is the only Passover gay romance. I’m not sure there’s even a straight Passover romance. It’s not that kind of holiday since most people associate it with deprivation (no bread, no cake and too much matzo). But when I thought about it, Learning from Isaac resonated perfectly with the Passover theme of freedom from bondage. So I thought, why not do a holiday series? I can now tell you why a person might not do a Jewish holiday series—those holidays just keep coming. But the holidays are rich with meaning and I tried for stories where the holiday’s theme echoed throughout. In both Fields of Gold and Sacred Hearts, the characters’ dilemmas mirror the holiday—Avi needs to evaluate his choices and to atone, which is what we all do on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and David’s Hanukah story really is a journey from darkness into light. Funnily enough, Purim was a problem for me. It was clear that no gay Jewish holiday series could be complete without a Purim story since Purim is the campiest holiday on anyone’s calendar, and yet the story I needed to tell wasn’t very funny. What I finally realized was that I was tapping into the hard stuff behind the farcical Purim spiel, the oppression, discrimination and even death that underlie the humor in the Book of Ester. Once I understood that, George’s story felt right for Purim.

Oh my, that’s a long answer to your question. The simpler response would be that the process of writing the stories was one of weaving together the characters, the plot and the holiday theme.

Kathy: As a reader, I sometimes find there are some characters and series that I just don’t want to say goodbye to. As an author, have you found it difficult to leave a character or series behind when you have finished writing their story?

Ms. Bentham: That was one of the beauties of writing the Tarnished Souls series, I could keep revisiting characters. Kenny was definitely my favorite and I loved having him show up in most of the stories. It was interesting that when it came time to write Kenny’s own story, George was the one who needed to tell it. I realized that Kenny couldn’t be the narrator because I saw him as a very centered, straightforward and wholehearted man whereas George had some serious stuff to work through. Still, Kenny got the best lines.
That said, I’m never tempted to write a sequel to a love story. I think that’s because I really believe in the HEA for each couple, so I’m not sure what the sequel would be about. I’m one of those people who’s in love with falling in love—not a healthy way to approach relationship, but there it is. I’m not particularly interested in the hum drum ongoing, every day struggles that happen after you ride into the sunset. Perhaps that explains my dismal relationship history. But I have to admit I’ve been happy with this same guy for a long time now. That may be why I continue to believe in happy endings.

Kathy: What is the typical day for author Dev Bentham? Do you write every day? How long does it take for you to complete a novel?

Ms. Bentham: I’m a binge writer. When I’m in a story, I write anywhere from 4-10 hours/day. It usually takes me about 6 weeks to finish a first draft, after which I need to let it sit for a month or so before I start editing, which takes me about another month. I need periodic breaks from writing to recharge. We live in a little resort town in northern Wisconsin where summer is precious and short, so I try to get three or four stories drafted and edited during the winter and then take the summer off to enjoy my garden, the lake and all the people who come here to visit.

Kathy: What projects are you currently working on? What can readers look forward to in the upcoming year from you?

Ms. Bentham: I’m working (sort of, since it’s summer) on the story of a New York artist and a small town veterinarian. I’m currently calling it Guys and Dogs. The first draft had five dogs. Now there are only three. Don’t worry, no animals were harmed in the editorial process. Last year was a VERY productive year for me—eight stories released in sixteen months. That’s not going to happen again this year. But I have a couple more stories marinating that I hope will end up on people’s readers by this time next year.

Kathy: I have thoroughly enjoyed chatting with you today. Is there anything else you would like to share with us before you go?

Ms. Bentham: I’ve really enjoyed talking with you, too, Kathy. Thanks so much for having me. If people don’t know my work and they’d like to give it a try, Breathing Snow, my free short story about love and lycra on the Olympic cross-country ski circuit, is available through the m/m Goodreads group http://www.mmromancegroup.com/?p=10987. I’ll also be participating in a mini blog tour next week with Jordan Castillo Price and Clare London, we’re calling it The Art Appreciation mini-tour and at three different stops we will each be giving away a book with an artist protagonist (“three days, three books, three fabulous authors”). The schedule is up on my blog but the most important one to mention might be July 23 right here. So I guess I’ll be seeing you all again soon. Thanks Kathy!
