The Lure of Two Men by Cassandra Carr
Thanks for having me here today, Lucy! I appreciate it!
Hey everybody – I’m here to talk a little about my first male/male release, See the Light, It came out a few weeks ago from Loose Id, and I’m really excited about it. I’m both anxious and excited to see how my readers like it since it’s a new subgenre for me.
I’ve been asked several times why I chose to write a male/male story. Well, a lot of the reason lies with the fact that I love men. Even if they’re loving each other and not me. 😉 That’s something I’ve heard women saying when they read a male/male/female menage (meaning there’s sexual interaction between the men) – “Why would I want to be in a relationship like that? I want the guys focused on me, not each other.” I can understand that reasoning. but at the same time, I think it’s sort of selfish. What’s wrong with everybody loving everybody else? But I digress…
Men. Yes, that’s what I was talking about. I also love how different they are from women, aside from the obvious. Two men even fall in love differently (many times) than a man and a woman do. I was a psych major in college and exploring that dynamic is fascinating to me. That’s one of the reasons I like to write BDSM as well. I actually have a plot bunny for a m/m BDSM book I’m dying to write, but I’ve got to actually find a moment to breathe in order to do that. I’m not complaining – writing is the absolute best job in the world and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!
What do you think is the lure of male/male stories?

Excerpt:
Jason stared at the other man, the lust burning him where he stood. He moved even closer, like a moth to a flame.
What the fuck am I doing?
Apparently Patrick didn’t know either, because his expression became alarmed. “What?”
I can’t stop.
“I need to do this.”
Not giving Patrick a chance to react to his words, Jason grabbed him, one hand palming the back of Patrick’s head as Jason’s other arm snaked around the man’s waist, pulling him into Patrick’s rock-hard body. It was obvious the man kept in shape, despite his playing days being over, and a tortured moan escaped before he could stop it. Jason dived into Patrick’s mouth as the passion flared, melting him from the inside out. He hadn’t kissed a man in years, and he realized how much he’d missed it as the kiss went on and on, neither man willing to let the other go.
He could feel Patrick’s cock as it lined up with his, and even through layers of clothing Jason felt the heat pouring off the other man. It made him want to submit to anything Patrick desired, which confused him. Honestly Jason couldn’t remember the last time he’d had a man’s dick in his mouth, but right now he’d give just about anything to suck Patrick off.
Patrick pushed them backward until they crashed into the wall, never letting their lips separate as he took control of the kiss. With a growl, the older man reached down and cupped Jason’s ass, pulling their cocks even closer and rubbing them together. Jason turned his head to the side with a gasp to break the kiss before he passed out, but Patrick kept at him, scoring his teeth down Jason’s neck to his pulse point.
“So fucking hot.”
*****
Hockey player Jason Monroe lives a double life—star defenseman and soon-to-be Olympian on the ice and closeted gay man outside the rink. A serious relationship is out of the question, and Jason makes do with anonymous sex in barroom bathrooms, not willing to take the chance on coming out as gay in a decidedly macho sport.
Advisor to the US Olympic hockey team Patrick Parker knows a thing or two about being a professional hockey player who’s not out. He’s fifteen years older than Jason, and when he senses the sexy younger man is interested, he knows he shouldn’t give in to the attraction. The two men can’t keep their hands off each other, though, and with each heated encounter it gets harder to hide their relationship. Then their world blows up around them, forcing them into the limelight. Will their love survive or be put on ice?

Thanks for having me on today! 🙂
Looks great, Cassandra! So sorry I missed your most recent class at Savvy Authors. Is there any way for a late student to make up the work?
*imagines the whips and chains*
Heh! Well, good luck on the new release. Wish you well!
Eva – contact me at AuthorCassandraCarr AT gmail.com. I might have another class coming up.

M/M books way back in the dino age were taboo for me. It wasn’t until my late 20’s my reading expanded. As a teen out partying, you could pick out the *** ( don’t want to be derogatory) in the bar. In my prison nurse days I saw some beautiful transvestites, and some ugly ones to. I was an on an AIDS commission, with all homosexual men- I had to argue, that it was my HIV + inmates when out made babies, they didn’t. I cared for gang raped inmates- no difference than a female rape victim. I met college professors that had been in a mono relationship for 20 years -“typical old married couple”. I also saw the bath-house babies. So now I read a little m/m/f; m/m bdsm; m/m/m. I am a very well rounded reader.
Wow, those are quite some experiences! Glad you’ve found us now though!
Love the excerpt. I think some of the reason people might want to read a m/m book, is for curiosity. To see what that lifestyle is like. I have read several m/m books and I really enjoy reading them. Although, I do like to read it when its a m/m/f book also.
