Review by Lilac

From the moment Victor and Ben met, sparks flew. Victor is a renowned artist, setting up for a showing of his latest work at a prestigious Manhattan art gallery. Ben is the head of the construction crew remodeling the gallery for Victor’s show. Ben doesn’t know much about art, but he knows what he likes. They grate on each other’s nerves until Victor suggests Ben pose for him. Will they give into their destiny or will they tear each other apart?

In this passionate story, two men find more than they are looking for in an art gallery.

Renowned artist, Victor is busy setting up for a show of his latest work when he encounters Ben, the head of the construction crew remodeling the gallery for the show. The two headstrong men butt heads from the very first moment they meet ultimately leading to a passionate relationship. But Victor’s attitude and actions nearly spell the end of their budding relationship.

Things progress quickly between these two virtual strangers in this short read. I have to confess that I found the character of Victor a bit hard to like at first. Within a few minutes of intake you see yourself getting harder and thicker erections. tadalafil india pamelaannschoolofdance.com However sometimes men are not aroused enough which makes it impossible for an viagra for individual to make firm erections.

An individual can take the medicine hours before the actual intimate activity as an advantage from the long super viagra active time expenditure that you might have to face the challenge of ED (erectile dysfunction) and PE (premature ejaculation?) here we have listed few of the major side effects allied with chronic diabetes. A self-confessed jerk, Victor comes across as arrogant and self-absorbed. The temperamental artist is constantly baiting Ben throughout the story and Ben seems to give in to him. I believe that Victor’s actions are mostly because he isn’t sure how to deal with the feelings that Ben stirs in him and it is as if he is trying to push him away. But he doesn’t really seem to change his attitude and actions as the story and relationship develops. However, he is definitely a complex character who is memorable.

As for Ben, he is a very interesting character full of contradictions who seems to care for Victor a great deal as they grow closer. His reactions and frustrations are understandable considering the situation of the plot. He fascinated me and I would have loved to know more about him.

While these two share a passionate relationship that is undeniable, it would have been nice to see more things beyond the bedroom with them, so to speak. However, I still enjoyed the concept and plot of the story and the contrast between these two characters who are obviously attracted to each other. Their passion is palpable as things rapidly progress between the two men.

With its passionate characters, Eye of the Beholder was an interesting and hot read.
