Men Who Love Men (Jeff & Lloyd #3)
At forty, long-time lovers Jeff O'Brien and Lloyd Griffith are the still-sexy poster boys for contented domesticity, running their P-town bed and breakfast together. But, with their wedding day approaching, can these two famously non-monogamous freethinkers really agree to "forsake all others"? Meanwhile, their best friend Henry Weiner has found love with Trent West--young...more

Continuing my quest for light soap opera, I found this in the library.
Bad start. It begins like this:
'Eye candy. That's what these boys are. If my eyes were diabetic they'd be going into insulin shock right now.'
But they wouldn't, would they? Because if his eyes were diabetic, they'd either not make enough insulin, or they wouldn't be able to use their insulin efficiently... unless his eyes had some kind of insulin delivery system. Maybe a pump. Or sub cut injections. But even then, there would...more

Another disappointment from this author. I really enjoyed the first book of the trilogy, "The Men From the Boys", narrated by Jeff, even though he was a bit of a pain. I wasn't so keen on the second book, "Where the Boys Are", but was hoping the third story would live up to the first.
However, this story is told by Jeff's friend Henry, who is such a whiner! As someone else mentions, he really lives up to his name. I just couldn’t enjoy his long rambling tale of woe.

I thought Jeff O'Brien (the narrator of the first book and co-narrator of book 2 of this series) was a self-centered, egotistical type. Henry Weiner lives up to his last name sound-wise ... he *is* a whiner! However, while I like him better than Jeff, he's got some issues about himself with which I can relate (though I don't relate with the promiscuity part of his life).
This book is a bit less complex than its predecessors which it makes it very readable. It is nice to get out of Jef...more

The blurb for this novel does not do it justice, nor does its cover. This story is one of those most vivid, heart-wrenching accounts of men struggling to find their sense of self that I have ever read. I haven't been moved by a character as I was with Henry in a long time.
The author is a dialogue genius - conversation takes place within the pages of his novel so smoothly you'd swear he recorded them happening. If this novel is indicative of the rest of Mann's fictions, all I can say is that I ne...more

I agree. In terms of the Jeff/Lloyd trilogy, this may be my least favorite...
Jeff and Lloyd — especially Lloyd — seem sorta artificial and forced.
Henry is so whiny. But also real, and compassionate and adorable...
Mann magnificently captures the magic of the place. It has a real sense of specialness — which Provincetown should.
I guess the bottom line is, I wanted more... But if Mann were to write a sequel to this story, I would read it with the same veracity I've read the others.... What does...more

I finally went back to (finish) reading MWLM. I started last year but got side-tracked...
I'm a bonafide fan of Mr. Mann's novels, throughly loving the first two novels in this vien, The Men From The Boys and Where The Boys Are (my favorite of the three!). Once again, WJM creates an engrossing story; in this third outing, WJM centers the story on Henry Weiner, Jeff & Lloyd's best friend...who spends the majority of the novel searching for the ellusive "Mr. Right", a common theme for poor Henr...more

An enjoyable love story that touches on some important issues about aging and marriage in the gay community. The narrator's craving for True Love was sweet and vulnerable, though I was sometimes annoyed by his shallowness.
give me back my money!

Just finished last night, stayed up til 3am. Made me cry in a good way. about love, trust, finding oneself, commitment, the unknown, how these men loved their friends,lovers,themselves,families,how he builds his own life away from his parents. New expressions for me, a place that should be visited some day. The cover picture has meaning later on in the book.
didnt find the charecters very likable or relatable. I had met the author during Saints and Sinners and thought that he would write as interestingly as he seemed to be. Wrong.Trite story. Trite relationships.
This book was a fun quick read about live in Provincetown. I did not like it as much as Mann's earlier two novels, but it was a good summer read about the life that many of us can only imagine.
It was an okay read. I'm not into the "gay scene" and I was hoping this book would've been separate from every other book out there.
