The new boss is in…
In the course of minutes, twenty-one year old Jonathan Antonucci, barely out of the closet gay man from suburban New York, finds himself a multi-millionaire. His great uncle Charlie has unexpectedly died of a heart attack, leaving Jon the sole owner of several of the most successful bars in Wilton Manors, Ft. Lauderdale’s gay ghetto.
Flying down to Lauderdale to claim his bequest, Jon encounters Uncle Charlie’s dubious friends and business associates, and is immediately drawn into Lauderdale’s scene of unbridled sex and heavy drugs. He also discovers his great uncle’s memoirs which reveal truths not only about Jon’s own past but also what may have really happened to his uncle. In the end, Jon is torn between avenging Uncle Charlie’s death or loving the very man responsible for it.

I really wanted this to be good but that didn't happen. I appreciate the story the author was trying tell. I think I enjoyed the the uncles journal more than the MC's story. I was hoping that Jon would learned some things from reading his uncle's journal that would help him make better decisions but by the end of the story I see that doesn't happen. Between learning how his parents really died and finding out about how his uncle died and who was responsible you'd think Jon would do better. And all of the unsafe sex and drug use was a bit much. I mean the smexy parts were even sorta rushed through.Product details

The Czar of Wilton Drive A Novel of SelfDiscovery Betrayal and Deceit edition by RP Andrews Les Byerley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This story is a no-holds barred look behind the scenes of what life was like for gay men in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I hoped that Jon would make better choices, but, as all too often happens, he didn't.
I have to say that this book confused me. At first I thought Jonathan was going to be a better person from his Uncle especially after reading his journal and finding out what his life was like. I was disappointed that he fell into the same trap as he did. Also the end was too abrupt and I was hoping for him to redeem himself. I wanted more and didnt get it.
Loved it kept me on the edge of my seat. It's the best gay novel I've read in years. I live in Fort Lauderdale and most of the place the author is referring in the book. Even thow the book is fiction I can picture these places in my mind and that's what makes this a great book. The story kept me wanting more I just could not put it down. I give it five stars and I'm hoping for a sequel. Hats off to the author job well done.
Review for CZAR of Wilton Drive by RP Andrews
I pretty much walked into this one, when asked for an honest review without looking into it first. I jumped on the bait for ‘dark eroticism’. The ‘gay ghetto’ reference was the first hint I wasn’t going to like this one. First off, it’s Urban and YA. They don’t tell you this, so I am.
I was going to be nice, just leave this as a DNF, and not give it a star rating. As of now, I would give this a negative 5 stars if I could. The reason being I was going to go nice was that I stopped reading it after chapter 1 and figured there could have been a chance the story would have developed into something others might enjoy. Just for me, there were things annoying me, little things that got in the way that by the time I reached chapter 2 I just couldn’t go on.
What first set me off is that gay people don’t go around calling themselves gay every five sentences; we don’t divide our family and friends up by who is gay and who isn’t. I didn’t see the author titling the straight ones, or the black ones, just the gay ones. So the passive aggressive separation didn’t sit well with me. The playing around with the nose ring was weird, I’ve never seen a person twist the ring around and no they don’t take them out to go on the airplane. Nose picker came to mind when I read it, that and the sudden urge to go wash my hands. Throwing in the random PA bit just showed you know little about body piercing, they don’t come out like earrings.
Information like this is thrown at you with the consistency of someone with ADD and not always relevant, but that was somehow the world building. Then there was the squirrel in the road tactic of explaining the mother’s father’s grandfather’s mother accident... yeah, totally lost me there.
Fans of Urban might like it, I can’t speak for them, but at 4.99 for a mere 150 pages, it’s hard to offer any optimism for anyone
Adjustment After writing this review, I thought maybe I should give it a second chance and explore a little more. I wish I hadn’t. The constant nose picking is a turn off, yet it kept being brought up as if the nose ring was significant or made the character appear badass and cool.
The list of stupid is never ending and mind you, I am only in Ch. 2
--The lawyer was about as professional as a punk kid, about a dozen laws broken and how he ‘took the liberty of…’ and then touching the kid.
--the continuation of gay ghetto, gay bars, gay this, and gay that. I’m surprised it didn’t come down to gay dishes and gay bathrooms for the gay vacationers that come from all over the world to visit the 2 gay bars in a city that has nearly 30 of them, yet somehow owning 2 makes this nose picking punk urban kid the czar of gay wealth.
I had to skim just to reach the end of Ch. 2,
--four more mentions of nose picking,
--a naive 21 yr. old virgin, who grew up in Stanton Island, now in a strange city, trustingly invites a stranger over the phone to come over. The kid had already been played at that point. The case of the stupids didn’t stop until he had unprotected sex with the HIV positive stranger then act as if it was no big deal afterwards. It might be fiction but I don’t want it in my reads.
The list of stupid never ends. But I’m done.
I really wanted this to be good but that didn't happen. I appreciate the story the author was trying tell. I think I enjoyed the the uncles journal more than the MC's story. I was hoping that Jon would learned some things from reading his uncle's journal that would help him make better decisions but by the end of the story I see that doesn't happen. Between learning how his parents really died and finding out about how his uncle died and who was responsible you'd think Jon would do better. And all of the unsafe sex and drug use was a bit much. I mean the smexy parts were even sorta rushed through.
