Overview
Overview
1994. Years before "homo thug" and "down low" became infamous catchphrases, Omar Little put the "G" in Gangsta on HBO's The Wire, and Lil Nas X became a global pop star ... there was B-BOY BLUES. Revisit or experience for the first time the story that ushered in the Africentric gay fiction genre, and put Black-on-Black male love on both the map and the bestseller lists!
SYNOPSIS: Mitchell Crawford always wished, hoped, and dreamed for a RUFFNECK - a hip-hop-lovin', street-struttin', cool posin', crazy crotch-grabbin' brotha. And he finally finds one in Raheim Rivers, who is a vision of lust: six feet tall and 215 pounds of mocha-chocolate muscle. Mitchell knows Raheim will take him for a walk on the wild side. But he doesn't count on getting behind Raheim's mask - and finding someone he can love.
Praise for B-Boy Blues:
"Hardy has successfully crafted the first gay hip hop love story. It sexily sizzles off the page."
- E. Lynn Harris
"Not since Terry McMillan's Disappearing Acts has it felt so good to be loved so bad. Grade: A-."
- Entertainment Weekly
"Hardy proves that Black love is just as dizzying and gratifying when boy meets boy." - Vibe
"A masterpiece of both Black and gay literature." - Booklist
