Hey, @starhues ! Let's start your review in a specific order...

Cover: The highlight is the gay couple sleeping together. It's good. But what about the story? You can't base your reads and fans just on the basis of the fact that it's an LGBT book so people who are interested will just pick it up and read. You should remember that at the end of the day it's just a normal storybook that you have poured your heart out in. People should be able to understand something about the book more than the fact that it represents a gay couple. Pretty plain effort, could be much better. For this you get 0.15/1.

Title: Makes me curious. Can't get what up? How is it related to the story? Could've been better but this one would do, too. For this you get 0.65/1.

Description: Interesting. With Erectile dysfunction out now the title makes so much more sense in a humorously vulgar way. It's just a plain sentence but I feel it's enough to pull the interested crowd towards you. You might wanna add traces of the plot and some mystery to it for betterment purposes, but this could do, too. For this you get 0.85/1.

Beginning: Introducing the cast is a very god way to start. I'm not gay, but you know how I could've guessed you were one? Well the guys look hot in the pictures and the girl doesn't! Have mercy on non gay readers and give us something to cheer over there, please? :P

Anyway, coming to the book - I like your use of vocabulary. It could use a bit of nourishment but this is decent enough. The grammar is a bit off at a lot of places, you might wanna consider getting it edited by someone other than you to find out new mistakes and correct some punctuation, tenses and stuff. Nothing too major, though. I love the detailing as well. Correction - You need to work on grammar and writing style a lot. This looks like someone got hold of a dictionary and used some good words to spice up the writing. What I like, or rather love about your book is that it makes you feel every emotion and helps you visualize most of the scenes because of the precise detailing and description. As a reader, what more could I want? (Not saying I'd like to visualize them having sex or share the odd kiss, saying rather, that I can visualize the events as the story unfolds itself). The emotions are very well embedded and come to life as you read the book which is beautiful to see. Sometimes the double meanings in some situations are cleverly used and make it all the more fun to read! The plot is new, thoughtful and all though not with the ideal twists and turns, this just doesn't seem like a book for twists. It looks like a casual read-when-bored type of a book that has great entertainment value. For this you get 1.85/2. That's good score!

Your total score is: 3.5/5. (With edits, I'd say you can have something close to 4/5, and with a better cover and description this book does have the potential to become a winner.)
