I will provide, take care and see that no harm falls upon you, as long as you respect me and behave according to your status. As I said, you are the most adorable thing that had caught my attention in years. You have to be mine and I have every intention to win you over.”“I'm 44 and way past the age for playing. You are everything I've dreamed of for a lover and a companion in life. Your beauty and innocence makes you perfect for me."
With these words, Konrad von Lintorff, a Swiss German banker declared his intentions to a 19 years old penniless student. Guntram was young, kind hearted and exactly looking as Konrad's former lover.

This book is very different from the usual m/m romance fare. It should be sold with a warning. It is very long, very complex and very, very compelling. Highly recommended that you take a sick day off work so you can finish it without interruptions. And keep a box of tissues handy too.The book covers seven(?) years of a stormy relationship between Guntram, a penniless, French/Argentinian nineteen year old student and Konrad a german billionaire banker and control freak. Set mainly in Europe,One of the greatest books I've read so far. It was more than 600 pages and I already want to read more of Konrad and Guntram. Normally, I prefer stories told in 3rd person but a very selfless and optimistic 1st person is OK too. I don't understand violence btw males and I am definitely not into unequal relationships. However, the one with the upper hand in this relationship was not Konrad. I don't want to consider Guntram a weakling as he deserves some credit. His biggest weakness was his
4.5 stars.WTF! All this angst and heartache and worrying and wondering and it finished like that, with those cheesy lines. I'm disappointed.Welcome to "The Substitute" alternate reality. It was like a soap opera: bankers, secret organizations, mobsters, scheming bitches, triple play. You name it, you get it. It's not a book that you can read looking for a resemblance to reality, because it takes place in a world that is like a different galaxy. Guntram de Lisle is thrown into this mess, or it's
Like many other's I could not decide what to rate "The Substitute." I was on the edge of anger and annoyance thru about 85% of this book. Yet, I still could not put the damn thing down. If I had the time, I think I would have sat and read this straight through.Because I think all the previous reviews from mine have outlined what was wonderfully awesome and excruciatingly terrible about TS- and the small blurb about the book basically sums up the basic story concept... let me just give some
I had to stop many times my reading of this book because there are so many mistakes that it is unbearable. There is a not to bad plot. We do not know if Konrad is just a crazy rich banker or if he is a mafioso or something like that. The author inserted clues all along the story and we do not know yet where they will lead. Is Guntram just a very naive young guy or more? Why exactly Konrad, who is supposed to be so smart, never doing anything without weighing carefully his decision, spoked to the
4.5 stars - Yes, this is going to be a long review. You have been warned :PThe best way to describe this book is as surprising.... and frustrating. I had this idea in my mind of how this story was going to be that was completely wrong. I purposely didn't read any reviews about it a few months before I read it because I didn't want to be spoiled or have some subconscious expectations placed on it. So, all I knew about the book was what the blurb explains and the fact it's poorly translated with
This review is about how I felt about the book and MCs, see other's reviews for more about the story.I loved reading the book. It is my first paper book in about 6 months and its 656 pages long! The longer the better.I was fascinated with the story, well maybe it should be called a written Opera. The drama and turn of events are amazingly operatic and majorly melodramatic. At times I was racing thru the book happily reading which alternated with wanting to throw it out the window! The MCs and
