Hard Hart


Book Description

A Steamy Bi-Awakening Gay Romance Quick Read By B.T. Haiyes “If you had to do a guy, huh,” I began, dropping my voice low, “sounds like you’ve thought about it a lot.” I then dipped my head, reaching up to rest a hand on the wall behind the blond man. “And when you’ve thought about it, what did you imagine me doing to you?” — James. Scarred and solitary, ex-firefighter James has given up on finding love. But when a striking blond stranger walks into his garage, he feels a sense of attraction he thought long extinguished. Dylan considers himself strictly straight—until he meets James. Yet, as James examines Dylan’s broken-down car, Dylan finds himself fixated on the mechanic's rugged physique and soulful eyes. An innocent offer of a drink soon escalates into a charged encounter that makes Dylan question everything he thought he knew about himself. James simmers with a certain something that Dylan finds almost irresistible. Even though Dylan's always been into women, he can't ignore the magnetic attraction he feels towards James. These two men have doubts and fears that run deep. But there is a connection between them pulling them towards each other... if only they can be brave enough to follow it. Hard Hart is the first book from the ‘First Time for Everything’ series. A poignant, sensual short story of two complex men daring to follow their hearts’ desire, Hard Hart captures the intense physical connection of insta-love.

Hard Hats, Rednecks, and Macho Men


Book Description

Everywhere you look in 1970s American cinema, you find white working-class men. They bring a violent conclusion to Easy Rider, murdering the film's representatives of countercultural alienation and disaffection. They lurk in the Georgia woods of Deliverance, attacking outsiders in a manner that evokes the South's recent history of racial violence and upheaval. They haunt the singles nightclubs of Looking for Mr. Goodbar, threatening the film's newly liberated heroine with patriarchal violence. They strut through the disco clubs of Saturday Night Fever, dancing to music whose roots in post-Stonewall homosexuality invite ambiguity that the men ignore. Hard Hats, Rednecks, and Macho Men argues that the persistent appearance of working-class characters in these and other films of the 1970s reveals the powerful role class played in the key social and political developments of the decade, such as the decline of the New Left and counterculture, the re-emergence of the South as the Sunbelt, and the rise of the women's and gay liberation movements. Examining the "youth cult" film, the neo-Western "southern," and the "new nightlife" film, Nystrom shows how these cinematic renderings of white working-class masculinity actually tell us more about the crises facing the middle class during the 1970s than about working-class experience itself. Hard Hats thus demonstrates how these representations of the working class serve as fantasies about a class Other-fantasies that offer imaginary resolutions to middle-class anxieties provoked by the decade's upheavals. Drawing on examples of iconic films from the era-Saturday Night Fever, Cruising, Five Easy Pieces, and Walking Tall, among others-Nystrom presents an incisive, evocative study of class and American cinema during one of the nation's most tumultuous decades.
