Review: Catching Hanif’s Eye – Patrick Doyle

by
Catching Hanif's Eye - Patrick Doyle

Genre: Romance, Mystery, Adventure LGBTQ+ Category: Gay Reviewer: Ulysses Get It On Amazon About The Book A mystery. A romance. An ocular adventure. Tom’s a data analyst. It’s not a passionate affair. Neither is his relationship with Mario, although Mario thinks it is. That’s Tom’s way. He makes things work, whether they work for him or not. With anyone else it would be called low expectations. Not Tom. His passion lies elsewhere. He’s a secret writer. The commitment is unusual and he keeps it to himself. Life has already dealt a few blows and he’s reluctant to test its limits. Undemanding relationships. Unpublished books. A job that requires little thought. … Read more
