Rose Carter is a successful writer of erotic gay romance. When Rose and Matt Malone, a new and upcoming homoerotica author, meet online, he feels that he has found a kindred spirit. Over time Matt finds himself falling for Rose and wants more than just friendship. There is just one tiny problem. Matt is gay and doesn’t understand how he could find himself falling for a woman. Thomas Carter has an even bigger secret; he's the man behind the persona of Rose Carter, a pseudonym that his publisher felt was necessary for his success. The more time he spends talking with Matt the more he wants, the only problem is how to tell Matt that he is Rose without ruining everything. Can they overcome the subterfuge and find a common ground?

Black Point is so much fun to read. Poor Thomas, eager to come out to all of his readers not just as a gay man but as a man, period, is thrust into the closet by his editor. The anticipation of Thomas and Matt meeting kept me engaged and unable to put the book down until the last page, and even then I was disappointed it was over. The email and the excerpt’s of Matt’s and Thomas’ book lent a unique touch. Black Point is a fun, lighthearted novella that had me laughing out loud and hoping for that happy ending. A.J. Llewellyn and D.J. Manly make a great team. I’m hoping this won’t be the last book they write together.
