He sets out with his friends, in drag for the first time, to the opening of a hot new club. While there, he meets Frank, the owner of the club, handsome charming, attacted to Andrew. the problem seems to be that Hank is straight and think Andrew is a woman. While not a great start to any relationship things get cleared up and go downhill as Andrew finds out that Frank is also the son of the number two man in one of the top mob families in NYC. One that is currently engaged in a war with the other families. Now, aside from dealing with the ramifications of possibly getting Frank killed if the news of their relationship gets out Andrew is also being followed by the police, the FBI, and some shadowy figures that look like bad casting for the Sopranoes.

The Night We Met Rob Byrnes 9780758201935 Books Reviews

A VERY nice openning, with some wonderful images and some great wit.

This is the story of a man blinded by rose colored glasses, a romantic who in a relationship is soo happy that he doesn't notice his lover isn't and is getting ready to leave him. Andrew is devastated, with some rye humor including a lol moment while he drowns his califlower in gravy and holds it down while imaging his ex's new lover! Well, Andrew's not a fast learner so the next guy his eyes meet turns out to be a prince of a different kind. But despite the wise-guys, homocidual ex-finances, danger to life and limb and his friends desperate attempts to help him and themselves Andrew refuses to give up his Love with confused, son-of-the-mafia Frank.

I liked it, but you expect a main character to learn and grow. Andrew doesn't seem to. He goes in to his romantic Love and it's little different, accept the for danger for bodily harm or death at the hands of Frank's Family connections, then his "example" relationship with the ex that left him. You can only say that his rose-glasses Love gave him the courage and determination to stay until he got Frank, and then to stick around despite all common sense and actually end up WITH Frank. And safe.

I really loved the beginning. Got tired as I continued to read to the end all in one night (I read it all in one night people, there's something to this book!)- so perhaps I'm a bit jaded on the ending, but I still feel there was no character growth.

Some great characters, like mystery writter Maragret and FBI Paul Waverly and like I said a wonderful openning. Things just went slightly down hill when Frank does the typical Mafia thing and has Andrew's ex beaten- bad. That kind of killed the comedy there and alot of the rye life humor as well as those rose-colored glasses blinded Andrew to his own life. He spends most of the story from that moment desperately trying to bag his man, despite his flaws, Frank needed him! And Frank WAS sweet.

Reading it I would occassionally imagine it as a movie, or even as a yaoi manga.

Read it- you decide!
Excellent read
Repetitive and not very romantic. I really wanted to enjoy it, but the protagonist was pretty much an idiot.
Really loved this book. It's not going to win any major prizes, but it's one of the most fun books read I have read in a while. When I was reading it, I thought that this book would transfer to the medium of film quite well. The book is very funny, heartfelt, and very romantic!! Being a hopeless romantic, I just loved the ending!! Be warned, you might need a hanky at the end.....
This book of such an action packed mixed with romance and against the odds type scenarios all the way to the end of the book. Just when you think you have things figured out it changes and twists, great book of its own style I feel it was a great book full of great characters of opposite lifestyles and would recommend this book to anyone who likes gay suspense or thrillers and fiction. Good read.
A most enjoyable book that will make you laugh and keep you as engrossed as any thriller. The characters are well drawn. The plot is very original. The writing smooth, concise, and witty. It is what is termed "beach reading", yes. But I think it would be extremely dangerous to read this one at the beach. Not being able to put it down you would be out in the sun much too long and probably suffer from three-degree burns. Besides, it's sunny enough.
