SERIES:     Blind Faith #3

AUTHOR:     N. R. Walker

PUBLISHER:  Self-Published

LENGTH:     368 Pages

BLURB:

Mark Gattison has avoided love and commitment his entire adult life. Not interested in more than a one night stand or a brief encounter in a bathroom stall, he is the epitome of a good time.

Will Parkinson is the guy who defends him, the guy who puts up with him, the guy Mark calls his best friend.

When Will becomes unsettled and a little distant, Mark takes it upon himself to find Will a boyfriend. Not familiar with the concept himself, Mark thinks Will needs someone to make him happy.

What Mark doesn’t know, is that he’s about to get blindsided. He’s about to get knocked off his feet by the one thing that’s been right in front of him the entire time.

REVIEW:

I wanted to love this book as much as I did the first two books in the series, but I think the author did too good a job writing Mark’s character. I spent the entire book, both the first time I read this book and during this re-read, wanting someone to grab Mark and slap him upside the head to tell him to wake up and smell the coffee, or something, I don’t know…open his eyes?

Mark Gattison who we met in the previous books in the series as Carter’s best friend in Hartford, is now the center character in the story. He is still bisexual, still sleeping with a different person every time, and only out for the good time.

His new best friend, Will Parkinson, is his total opposite. Although they work together, they are like night and day. Their boss loves Will, and hates Mark, because Mark is a clown and always loud.

Mark is convinced he needs to help Will find a boyfriend so he can settle down like he wants to. But is Mark missing something? There is a storyline flowing through the book that is very apparent to everyone in the book except Mark, and very apparent to the reader as well. At least to me!

No more spoilers. I liked this book, and even with, or maybe because of, Mark’s totally annoying cluelessness, I recommend you pick it up and give it a read.  It wasn’t my favorite book from the author, but in my opinion she can’t write a bad book! Let me know what you think of it. See if you agree with me about Mark!
