Selfless

by Michael Powers

A chance encounter at a lake and instant chemistry send author Rob Harrison and editor Matt Ramirez into each other's arms and lives. After handing over a copy of his novel, Rob is surprised when Matt not only loves it, but thinks it will sell and sell big! They take a chance and jump into the future together. Several wildly successful books lead to the big screen, and enter Ian Ariola, the man with the movie know-how, and Alan McAlister, an actor with a past. As work begins, the four men bond and their lives become more intertwined, with Matt as the glue that holds them all together. But it becomes painfully clear that success and money can't solve all problems. Dangerous attraction, predatory businessmen, and hereditary disease all threaten to destroy their happiness, and in the end, one of them becomes the key to what's most important for the other love, success, and life itself.

Reviews

[Matthew Vandrew · Rating 1 out of 5]

When I say this was a bad book, replace the word "bad" with the most insulting adjectives you can come up with. The plot is ridiculous; just one example - Oprah (yes, THE Oprah) chats on her show with our insanely successful protagonists and when she finds out mother of one of them suffers from Alzheimer's, The Almighty O manages to get her to a test group for a new drug which actually works and Mom is cured!
The romance at its worst - sickeningly sweet, tragic with lots of tears and I love you's. Avoid this book like a plague!
