BOOK BLURB:
Garrett Kowalski is a reporter for a local gay magazine called Queer America. He’s just landed the interview of a lifetime, both professionally and personally. When Garrett watched porn star ‘Alec Greene’ on screen, he fell instantly in lust, so when Queer America decides to run a story on porn stars, and Garrett is offered the job of interviewing them, he jumps at the chance to meet his fantasy lover. Turns out, Alec, aka Justin, is a great guy. He’s a lot more than eye candy, and Garrett is soon falling in more than lust with him. Justin is attracted to Garrett as well, but will his career get in the way of their relationship?
BOOK REVIEW:
One of the things I love most about "When Work Is a Pleasure" is how Alix Bekins made me change my preconceived feelings about how things would work, or rather not work, between Justin and Garrett because of Justin’s career. Justin and Garrett’s relationship not only works, it’s wonderful. There is a realism and straightforwardness about the guys and the story that make it believable and create a heart-warming romance.
Justin is a regular guy who just happens to make money making porn. Garrett’s fascination of how hot and sexy Justin is wears off very quickly and Justin becomes a real person to him, one that Garrett is not only very attracted to, but one he genuinely likes and has things in common with. I love how slowly Justin and Garrett take their relationship. It’s such a huge contrast compared to what Justin’s professional life is like. You’d think he’d be all over Garrett, but his desire to have a real relationship with him instead, is sweet. It makes the times they are intimate real and exciting. Garrett and Justin accept and respect each other. Their relationship in When Work Is a Pleasure may be unconventional, but it’s stronger, and more honest than most conventional ones.
