"5 Stars!...A phenomenal story about the search for love and the one person we can connect with in every way. I absolutely adored the character of Ethan, his sharp witty humor and his emotions that are worn on his sleeve...My heart was completely invested in Ethan’s journey and I laughed and cried along with him. Overall this is a captivating story that had me on the edge of my seat to the very end. This is the second of Reed’s stories that I have read and I am now officially a huge fan. As are many of his other stories, this is set in Chicago, my current hometown, and those familiar with the city will love the details throughout. It is obvious that Reed still loves the city. The humor throughout this story is exceptional yet doesn’t disrupt the more serious themes. The ending is true perfection...I cannot more highly recommend this story for all readers!"--Emily, Rainbow Reviews

"5 Stars!...Rick R. Reed has a wonderful sense of humour and timing. His characterization of Ethan was superb. This is the first story I have read by Rick R. Reed and if this is at all representative of his writing he'll become an auto buy for me. His timing is superb, his prose is exceptional and his characterizations are to die for. I was totally invested in Ethan and I felt every slight, imagined or real, that he experienced. Parts of this story were so poignant as Ethan looked at his life stretching before him with no one to share it that I could feel his pain...Buy this book."--Jessewave, Reviews By Jessewave

"5 Divas!...A Recommended Read!...Could easily be made into a movie...Deeply erotic, satisfying...The crisp dialogue and brutally honest portrayal of two lonely men, who at heart really are very good looking, is a story for all romance lovers…not just fans of gay romantic fiction. It's a story to be treasured, in all its intimate splendor."--AJ Llewellyn, Dark Diva Reviews

"4 Angels!...A lighthearted look at the online dating scene and the games that are played in the name of romance...Mr. Reed has given us a very likeable and believable character in Ethan. He is so normal and so 'Joe Average' that the reader can immediately relate to him. Even though this reader was disappointed in Ethan for succumbing to the temptation to lie, I could not help but wish him well. Watching him struggle to make things right after having misled Brian is not only humorous, but it is poignant as well. Overall, VGL Male Seeks Same is humorous and touching and well worth the reading time."--Whitney, Fallen Angel Reviews

"5 Lips!...Rick R. Reed brings the right amount of insight to the human condition and romance to keep you guessing...I loved that this is not your typical romance--not one of the characters is without inner and outer flaws. The characters of Ethan and Brian were so down to earth that I felt an instant connection to them...VGL Male Seeks Same is a brilliant 21st century love story that should be on everyone’s keeper shelf."--Tina, Two Lips Reviews

"4 Stars!...A hugely funny romance. The VGL threw me at first, but once I realized it referred to 'Very Good Looking' I felt that it fit very well with the story...Mr. Reed is an author who also writes horror stories but my experience with his romantic comedy is that Mr. Reed writes extremely well. You will LOVE this story! I know I did."--Marcy Arbitman, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"A Rating Of 5!...A superbly written tale, focusing on the classic idea of finding a partner and the tricks and turns we trap ourselves with. The characterization of both men are incredibly well done in such an honest, open voice that it was easy to picture Ethan and Brian and furthermore, to empathize with them both. The ending...is so beautifully done, humanizing both and showing that even through honesty, your flaws never disappear but you can be loved because of them. For anyone who has less than perfect confidence in dating, you’ll be sure to identify and enjoy this book. It’ll be a keeper for a very long time."--Kassa, Manic Readers

"4.5 Nymphs!...A wonderfully written tale of the pain, sorrow and loneliness of getting to a certain age, and finding yourself in a place you never expected...alone, and not knowing what to do about changing it...The story backbone is both timeless and timely...The whole book is nicely done, but I particularly enjoyed it after Brian was added as Ethan’s internet love interest. Their posts were romantic, heartfelt and caring...just what Ethan needed and wanted, and when he almost lost Brian, I could almost feel his pain. There isn’t anything about this story that I didn’t like...This novella is near perfect. Read and enjoy!"--Mystical Nymph, Literary Nymphs Reviews

"4 Stars!...So far I have never read any erotic story that was paired with lots of humour. So I was very surprised to find myself laughing so hard the tears were streaming down my face. All the little scenes when Ethan was thinking about how to get out of the mess he created, his thoughts about the receptionist in his company, his feelings about Brian’s mail that sounded 'stalkeresque' (I have no idea whether this is a word or not, but it sure looks extremely elegant, especially for such an unpleasant action), I just kept laughing...This was a delightful novella. If you want to take up online dating, read this first!"--Rikki Donovan, The Bookkeeper Reviews

He got up and got a Coke Zero and tried to reassure himself by saying that he was just flattering himself. Everyone was online these days and the truth was no one would really even care about him or his little profile. All he needed to really worry about was that some imagined man out there, reasonably good looking, well-read, and with a quirky sense of humor, would pause long enough at his profile to send him a message...
