Rule #1: Keep running.

Jag’s rules have kept him safe and free since he escaped conversion therapy, but that was before he walked into Heaven and Hell. A no-strings fling with the club owner, Michael, turns into so much more as Jag finds himself breaking one rule after another.

Michael hasn’t been able to commit to anyone since his partner died, until Jag walks into his club. Falling in lust with the elfin young dancer is easy, and his heart is quick to follow.

Michael gives Jag a reason to stay, but fear rules Jag’s heart more than love. Despite his deepening feelings for Michael, Jag knows he can’t stay. Can he?

REVIEW:

This was a sweet story about two guys who end up being exactly what each other needs. Michael is the club owner who has had a difficult time finding a new relationship since he lost the love his life. He is a bit gun shy with his feelings because of that, but he is definitely interested in the new dancer, Jag. Jag is a young guy who has been on the run from his family for years since he came out and was forced into conversion therapy. For some reason (I have no recollection about why they are still expending so many resources to go after him), they continue to try and track Jag down, again, not sure what the purpose is, but it plays a major role in how Jag now lives. He has been living on the streets going from job to job, only staying long enough to make some money and hopefully stay ahead of anyone trying to track him down. He is definitely interested in Michael, but his no-strings rule is in effect for a reason.

Michael is happy to go along with whatever limitations Jag puts on their “relationship” even though he is not normally a “no strings” type of guy. Of course, feelings grow and convincing must be done to get Jag to see they could actually have something more. Michael was exactly what Jag needed in that he never pressured him until it was safe to do so, and he always made it clear the ball was in Jag’s court. Likewise, Jag ended up being that sprinkle of sunshine that Michael needed to jump start his feelings all over again. We don’t really get too many details about Jag’s past, and much of the story takes place at the club in the present time. Michael’s best friend and employee was a great side character, and I’d love to read more about him and his partner. All in all, while I wasn’t completely wowed by this story, it was quite an enjoyable and easy read.
