Book Reviews of No Going Home

Book Review: Cowboy Sex Romp
Summary: 3 Stars

T. A. Chase has written a fairly good gay-themed love-sex story, although the dialogue, the characters and the setting look and sound so much like J. L. Langley's "Tin Star" and "Broken H" that I wonder if these authors are in fact the same person. Why two different authors would pen almost identical gay cowboy love stories is somewhat suspicious -- more than a little coincidental.

This one, though, is the best of the lot. The main unbelievable part of the story is the strange violent source of Randy's disillusionment - his father. Les' own past is nearly as unbelievable. But, as the story proceeds, these two characters do take on fairly real personae. Their love for each other, tentative at first and primarily based on sex throughout most of the novel, becomes apparent and rather nice. In all of these stories, the main characters eventually develop a backbone to take a firm stand against homophobia and bigotry. They show some elements of bravery in the face of the usual vile prejudices in our society.

However, make no mistake. This story (nor any that Langley has written) is not literature or anything close to it. What it is, is a relatively interesting story of these two guys' developing love, used as a vehicle to write gay porn. There's nothing wrong with that, except most of these books are just trash. This one isn't, in my estimation. I read it in about 5 hours one day. I only skipped a few pages - rare for me with books like this that are so predictable.

Naturally, it has a mostly happy ending. But I must say, I was rooting for these two people and some of the minor characters in the book. You'll be mildly entertained through most of the book, as long as you look past the evident superficiality and the "literary vehicle" Chase uses to write some realistic, though repetitive, steamy sex scenes.

I give it a 3 because, while it has no literary value at all, it's a fun read -- as long as you read fast and don't think too much. Just sit back and enjoy it. No point in hoping that this book is something it is not.
