If you ever needed a reason why the military would enforce a rule such as "don't ask, don't tell", then you definitely need to read, Author, Mike Warren's latest, too hot to hold book, "A Private Affair". We do have to warn that this book will leave you turned on and turned out.


After graduating from 16 weeks of military training, Private Sean Matthews tackles a long awaited opportunity of being a family man to his son Khalil and wife, Venus, when he is permanently stationed at a base in Ft. Meade, Maryland, twenty minutes from his hometown of Baltimore.  

Things seem to be going smooth at first when Sean's life takes a drastic turn when he unexpectedly befriends his flamboyant, sexy, and flirtatious gay roommate, Cameron, who also has a die-hard crush on him, which he does not hide.

Though Sean is a little hesitant at having anything to do with a person like Cameron, they soon start to develop a special brotherly bond as they get to know each other. This finally sets the stage for Sean's curiosity to kick in when Cameron takes him out to a gay club and introduces him to his world and see how the other team plays. Unfortunately, Sean is definitely convinced he is strictly for the "ladies" after an experience with a man goes sour.

In a weird twist of fate, Sean surprisingly finds himself sexually drawn to Cameron's abusive, yet charming ex, Dule Thomas, who is also married. Things really start heating up when Sean finds himself manipulated into a seductive, sexual encounter, orchestrated by Thomas, which ignites many more private affairs to come. Sean and Thomas' intense affair soon develops on a dangerous level as they become like crack-heads, looking for their next hit, not caring when and where they do it; whether it's at the base where the rest of their comrades were stationed or during a party where they were right under both of their wives nose's.

Unfortunately, when rumors about Sean's sexuality start to surface by a mysterious person, it threatens to put both his marriage and career in jeopardy. As Sean undergoes an embarrassing investigation by the military and tries to salvage what he still has with his wife, who is already suspicious, he comes to another realization: he has fallen in love. Now Sean finds himself left with a few burning questions that must be answered in order to completely make sense of his own dangerous lifestyle: "How could I let this happen?", "Who is trying to sabotage my life?", and "Am I really gay, even though I don't feel gay?"

We absolutely loved Mike Warren's raw and no-holds barred story of a sex-crazed, down low married man struggling with his sexuality and the pressure and challenges he faces as an officer of the military. Mike Warren makes sure he leaves no dull moment as you turn every page. In-fact, he delivers such very descriptive and explicit storytelling, that almost every chapter makes you feel as if you just personally experienced a sexual encounter with the characters as well. As answers are slowly revealed it only leads to bigger questions, leaving the story at such a perfect cliffhanger, you truly hope it's not the end, but just the beginning of yet another private affair.
