According to a magazine article, the hunk, Gene, is gay, out and articulate. Next time at the gym Dan and Gene spot for each other on the weight exercises. Gene recruits for technology positions so he and the older computer programmer have something in common. They chat, get on well and Gene asks Dan out to dinner. Can his life get any better? But the man who dumped Dan nine months previously turns up again after being dumped by his own new boyfriend, and asks to come back into Dan's life. Now what?

SPOT ME shows that gay people have relationship dilemmas just the same as straight people, and Dan's self- consciousness could apply to any person at any age. Luckily Dan has good friends, and not just at the gym. Gene is tired of dating men who are well-built but have no intellect. But they don't all like being told it's over....

I really enjoyed reading about the food eaten by these two health-conscious men - tea without milk but with cranberry, duck and poached pear salad, roast duck with raspberry sauce, chicken with herbs and wild rice. The regular weightlifting workouts described will surely enhance this book for gym fans and may even spur them on to achieve success. SPOT ME is a nice read and Andrew Grey, while writing for an adult gay market, has delivered a good short novel for today's readers.
