Book One in the International Men of Sports series. A handsome Bollywood actor must choose between his career and a rugged cricket player from his past, who he's fallen in love with...again. Rajan Malik has the world of Bollywood in the palm of his hand...a beautiful girlfriend, starring roles, adoring fans...He should be happy, but behind the facade lies a man conflicted and exhausted by the pressure placed on him by his ill mother, his agent and society. His life is not his own, and all he wants to do is escape. Indian Premier League cricketer Ajay Singh can't believe how bad his university roommate Rajan looks when he spots his picture in the paper. They had parted on bad terms. Still, he's moved to offer Rajan his support by renewing their friendship. But friendship was not all they shared back then. Though Ajay is out, Rajan isn't willing to give up his carefully cultivated Bollywood image to be with him publicly. And with very little privacy, it won't take long for someone to find out they are more than friends. Their renewed secret affair is fraught with difficulties as they deal with the death of Rajan's mother, the secret of Rajan's till-now absent father, a jealous friend, intrusive social media, and threatening notes from someone who seems to know all about their private lives. It's a bit of a sticky wicket they find themselves in. Will it be too late when both men finally realise that they'll need to compromise, or stand to lose everything?"… (más)

Ajay is out and proud cricket player. Raj comes from a very strict upbringing with a mom who demands exactly what she wants out of him. They are college roommates, but when his mom finds out they might be together, she pulls Raj out of school and aims him into the spotlight. Years later, Raj is a famous actor and Ajay sees him looking run down. After so many years, Ajay contacts him to offer him a place to escape and their friendship/attraction rekindles. The guys together were great. Ajay was such a calming presence, which is what Raj needed. It took a little while, and it was a slow road, but Raj was able to realize he wanted to be happy and could stand up for himself. The ending was fabulous. I liked how the story and relationship progressed and resolved. ( )

I made it half way through this book, trying to make the characters seem realistic, until I reached a scene where the emotional overreaction by one of the main characters let me realise that this is yet another example of a book in the "PE" genre.

That is, a heterosexual woman's fantasy about being a man. The woman's fantasy man character is attracted to men because she is heterosexual. Her (his) lover must also be attracted to her (him). Consequently, the characters in this genre are superficially gay. The genre is therefore populated with slightly kinky heterosexual men (the cricket player), and heterosexual women inhabiting men's bodies (the Bollywood star).

Gay male readers (like myself) are apt to make the unfortunate mistake that books like this have some relevance to them. An understandable mistake considering that the heterosexual female authors of these books very often carry their penis envy (PE) fantasy to the extent that they write under male, or male sounding pseudonyms.
