A rarity -- romantic erotica focused on male couples in committed relationships -- Take This Man comes from one of the top-flight gay fiction writers, Neil Plakcy. Many erotic stories focus on the thrill of first contact, but Take This Man is thrillingly different, taking a close look at how much sexier an encounter can be when the two men involved have been together for long enough to make a commitment to each other. Formalized or not, the fact remains that knowing what turns your partner on -- and vice versa -- makes encounters even hotter, especially when the erotic encounter is an expression of an emotional bond.
