An Awesome Review of "The Lookout" on Erotic Book Network

-

Thank you, Kevin, for the most wonderful review on https://www.eroticbooknetwork.com. I’m tickled pink over it!


“Colin Dereham’s The Lookout is a great read.  It is a tale of one becoming three, and is explored through meaningful eroticism, tinged with a poignancy that is so rare in this genre.  It explores what happens when lives collide, and lust takes over, only to evolve into a meaningful love full of the complexity that comes from living in a throuple.   The eroticism is meaningful and balanced.  The opening chapter is epic, but real.  What I like about this novella is it bridges the gap between eroticism and literature so well. The characters have depth, and it is impossible not to form an attachment with each of them, particularly the character of Gus, a loveable cuddly bear with a heart filled full of compassion and so much love to give.  The story is contemporary and explores more than just intimacy and sex – it confronts issues of mental health, cultural diversity and the loneliness that comes when one feels that they simply don’t belong.  This novella deserves to be read – not just as an erotic thrill, but as a heart rendering story of love and loss.”

I’m really grateful to the people who have left these reviews for “The Lookout” on Amazon and Erotic Book Network. It means the world to me that there are people out there enjoying my steamy little tale of three bears living by Bondi Beach.   CC’s Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5.0 out of 5 stars   Definitely recommend as a great summer read. Reviewed in Australia on 14 January 2022 Verified Purchase The Lookout is the story of Angus, who experiences instant and profound chemistry with his two new flatmates. They quickly form a throuple and the fun intensifies over the next few months. This long novella starts off as a wild sexy romp, then morphs into a moving, poignant tale as things go wrong, leading to disastrous results. The chemistry between the characters was electric and they complemented each other beautifully. The breezy style of writing made it easy to slip into the book comfortably. It was wonderful to see how the main characters managed to pick up the pieces and find happiness ...

CLUBBED by Robert A. Karl (review)

I was a little late to the party with this book—especially seeing as Part Two of this three-part series is now on our doorstep—but for those of you who haven’t discovered this fictional slice of gay history yet, you’re missing out. Perhaps it’s a Roman à clef, or perhaps the author just has an innate talent for writing in a meandering, autobiographical style—either way, it’s addictive, so much so that a normally pedantic reader like me buzzed through it in a matter of a few hours.  This volume covers the hedonistic era of disco, drugs and rampant sex leading up to the first signs of GRID/AIDS in 1981. But whilst it whirls through the party aspects of queer culture, one eye is kept firmly on the struggles that the LGBTQ community faced in that era: the rampant and unchecked discrimination, the bashings, the murders, the harrassment and abuse perpetrated by police. As queer people in the twenty-first century, we must never forget how much harder our recent forebears had it, and how m...
