Denver Gay Book Club

Attn: Apologies for the confusion and recent event listing error, but---

The Original book for September (FruitFly) has been pushed to October, as there are no print copies available yet in the Denver area. While ebook is available, several members have ordered hard copies and are waiting for the publishing house to finish a second printing. Soon is what they say!!
So------
On September 13 at 1 PM at Tattered Cover on Colfax Ave., we will discuss another hot summer book that seems to be in great supply!
"Heated Rivalry" by Rachel Reid!
"Heated Rivalry" is actually the second book in a still unfolding 7 book series "Game Changers" (the 7th book is scheduled June 2027) by Rachel Reid.
"Heated Rivalry" is the 2nd book in the series and is getting a lot of attention for the TV adaptation, popularity on the NYT current best seller lists and importantly, available at stores and libraries.

From Goodreads:
Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander’s game—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.
Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn’t just crazy talented, he’s got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.

Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him—except Shane. They’ve made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option.

Please note!
This book was originally scheduled for September, but it is currently not available in bookstores or for delivery for at least another week. So we decided to move this book to October. Check postings for the new Sept. Book Club book.

On October 11 at 1pm we will discussed the hot new book “Fruit Fly” by Josh Silver. Please note the new location for this and hopefully future meets at:
Tattered Cover on 2526 E Colfax.
There’s parking in the garage behind.

Go gay. Go sad. Go dark.
A washed-up author will stop at nothing to claw her way back to relevancy—even if it means appropriating a young gay man’s tragic story.

Mallory Maddox is buried under seven years of writer’s block. With her status as a literary sensation fizzling, she’ll do anything she can to resurrect her career. Inspiration needs to strike—and fast.

Enter Leo. He’s a struggling addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival. He’s vulnerable. He’s enigmatic. He’s exactly what Mallory has been looking for.

Mallory needs Leo if she wants another bestseller. The world needs Leo’s story right now, and Mallory believes she deserves to tell it. Really, it’s her story—she’s the one who wrote it, after all.

But as secrets threaten to unravel more than just her career, Mallory must decide how far she will go to pen the perfect story.

A razor-sharp satirical thriller, Fruit Fly will appeal to fans of R. F. Kuang’s Yellowface and Yomi Adegoke’s The List.
