I have not read the book below but I have seen positive feedback on it several places and thought I would just pass it on to those who like to read. If you have read it, let us know what you thought.

Five Married Men
by Martin Brant

What is so powerful that it can cause a man to jeopardize his career and a twenty-year marriage? What steals his thoughts and inspires risks that others can't comprehend? David Westin knows. He knows the power of one man's hand on the arm of another man.

When the day comes that his best friend James reveals a lifelong secret, their lives are forever changed. Together they start on a path of discovery and physical adventure, of elation and joy, of heartache and deception. Setting themselves apart from the general brotherhood of men, they meet Jake, Jorge, and Tim. All five men form a bond and soon realize they have opened a door they can never close.

About the Author
Dallas native Martin Brant has left the corporate world to write full time. He has written five novels. Like the men he writes about, Martin believes most gay and bisexual men are everyday average guys who lead quiet, productive lives. He would love to hear your thoughts.

it seems like an ok book but I read an excepert of the first two chapters and it does seem kinda predictable. I hope he doesn't do the whole "down low" bi husband that cheats on the wife, then finds love in his lifetime best friend scenario, and finally admits it to his spouse or she finds out somehow.

I don't like furtive men that cheat on their wife/girlfriend secretly, and why I don't do anything with men that are married/cheating in secret. It's also why I'm open about my sexuality with people; but I don't go around screaming about it or waving flags or telling absolutely every friend/person in my life since it's my business.

That's why whoever I ultimately end up with I'll tell him, her, them, long before it's too late and I'd like them to be an active part in my sexuality as much as I am.

I personally am not a fan of closeted/"down low" married men and I'm sorry if anyone here is that way or has to hide it from their spouse, but I have my reasons for feeling this way. I will talk and befriend them (if they'll let me, most don't); but I refuse to do anything sexual with them even if we're both hot for each other, or they try to with me.
