Paperback
Publisher: Palari Publishing

Sweeping romance and steamy sex are the daily activities for the hunky passengers of the RMS Princess Diana, as they set sail on a rollicking all-gay cruise through the sun-drenched Mediterranean and its stunning ports of call...But this idyllic holiday abruptly ends when a calculating psychopath sets in motion a dastardly plan to send the luxurious liner to the bottom of the sea. Soon daring escapes, personal sacrifices, and heart-pounding rescues replace romance and the men of the Diana struggle to survive the sinking ship and each other...

A perfect poolside book for Palm Springs
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 
An enjoyable romp with perfect men with sculpted bodies and story book lives enjoy lots of sex and a bit of intrigue in exotic locales. Unfortunately, I didn't wait for my poolside vacation to read it. I wanted a bit of literary distraction to wind down at night, and this book, like the author's previous works, were welcome and apt.
It's a delight in this world of chaos and often generalized ugliness to have some feel-good fiction, complete with happy endings, for the gay community.

Benbow not as HOT as in previous efforts!
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
I have read both "Male Model" and "Daytime Drama" and gave them outstanding reviews. I was glad to get my hands on "Summer Cruising" because I have really enjoyed Mr. Benbows previous work. Well sadly, I was rather disappointed in this one as it was so predictable, the characterization was minimal, and the storyline was to say the least, a little ridiculous. The sex in this one was as good as it gets, however, there was just so much of it, it seemed as if after every scene someone found themselves between the sheets. (I don't mean to sound prudish...but I was expecting more substance to the plot). As always the covers of Benbow's novels are very exciting (I wish they would have shown the cover model, Brandon's face...is he to die for or what?). I just wish that the story was as exciting as the cover shot! I will surely read Benbow's next effort where I hope we find him back to his old self.

For Boys Only

Valley Gay Press Book Reviewer: Liz Bradbury (Author of Angel Food and Devil Dogs - A Maggie Gale Mystery)
A series of hot, shirtless guys with perfect bodies cavort on an all-gay cruise ship touring the Mediterranean, while a serial killer lurks behind the scenes. Soap opera style romance weaves through the cast of characters, punctuated by graphic and often sticky sex scenes.

The simple plot reads like a James Bond thriller that requires little effort to guess the mysterious bad guy. Yet the characters, and there are quite a few of them, are easy to visualize, as are the lush and luxurious settings.

Summer Crusing is a book for gay men to put on their summer escapist reading list, or to read now, when the weather outside is frightful and readers long for a sexy vacation for the imagination.

Great Gay Read
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
David Benbow has done it again. Another gay story with some substance...not only just sex (but it was hot), but a story line that was believeable...especially in this day of terrorism. Even though it wasn't a terrorist plot. His depiction of the cruise as well as the cities along the way was great. It seemed like I was on a guided tour. A fun sexy read for any gay guy!!!!

SO MUCH FUN...
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Casual writing, florid details, abundant sex, mind candy, intrigue, adventure, romance, and just plain hot writing combine to create a MUST READ.
