Don't Be Afraid of Virginia's Woolf Ryan Field

A riveting contemporary novel that examines the lives of two modern gay married couples who decide to get together for drinks one night. However, just drinks turns into a lot more drama, passion, humor, and emotion than any of them had planned. In Huckleberry Point, a small townhouse community where everything is manicured and landscaped to perfection, no one is more settled into married life than Preston and Dave. But it's gay married life, which means there are certain distinctions. When Preston invites his new younger neighbors, Bob and Tom, over for drinks, they aren't prepared for what they are about to learn that night. It doesn't take long for them to discover Dave's mysterious past, Preston's scorn for most things traditional, and the eccentricities of an open gay marriage. While Preston attempts to seduce one of his handsome young guests, Dave allows him just enough space to get what he needs. As the evening quickly moves forward, secrets from their pasts are uncovered, hidden desires they've never told anyone surface, and shared experiences only gay men could understand are discussed in full detail. It's a modern love story as much as it is a story about modern lovers, and these two gay couples will never be the same again when this night is over.
