From the Publisher
Set in New Orleans and a nearby town, this is an expanded version of Getting Past Almost, an erotic novel about a gay man’s search for satisfaction and love.

Getting Past Almost traces a young gay man’s odyssey of discovery and sexual experimentation, as he searches for happiness and true love. That search begins in the seemingly peaceful setting of the small Louisiana town where he was born, and leads him to New Orleans. When he finally falls in love with the man of his dreams, those dreams become threatened by a new complication that can ruin their lasting romance. After learning to accept himself, the narrator now must learn to accept the unexpected changes in his life.

From the Author
Why a second edition so soon? I had nearly given up on getting the book published, because of certain content. Besides changing the name from Always Hot and Humid: Gay Erotica to the less obvious Getting Past Almost: A Novel, I had kept cutting at or changing some of those scenes. Now that the book has done so well, I wanted to re-release it with restored scenes, and with some slight improvements here and there. Some of the old scenes would not fit the changes in the plot, but most of them did. If you already have the original, great; you already have the basic story. But if you have not bought it yet, please get the new version. I am still glad I changed the title to Getting Past Almost, because it captures the frustrations, longings, and eventual satisfaction of the narrator.

Customer Reviews

Sexy romance!
Donovan Lee wrote a first-person gay romance novel with first time sexual encounters, three three-ways, public sex, bondage, and the gay basics. It will keep you up all night! The romance surrounds those other tales of sexual enounters. Donovan tells all at a party in New Orleans, then buils up to how he met his partner and how they fell in love, after Donovan's series of 'almost' relationships.
