BLURB:
After being cast out of the family home for being gay, Milo Santiago considers himself lucky to have a soft place to land. However, crashing with his older brother isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Desperate for an escape from reality, he turns to casual hookups to take his mind off his troubles.
He isn’t prepared for enigmatic businessman, Campbell Brooks or the explosive chemistry between them. One hot night leads to a weekend of debauchery that turns Milo inside out and leaves him falling for Cam, despite the older man’s insistence they keep things casual. A little persistence could go a long way toward landing the man of his dreams. Or it could alienate Cam and send him running right back to New York for good.
REVIEW:
I have to say I think in a way this story is the best in the series but also the worst. That sounds weird I understand that and to be honest I don’t really have an explanation to why.
I really liked Milo and Campell but the story evolves in such a weird way that it left me confused and unfulfilled.
I have read the rest of the series as well so I am familiar with the characters and I have to say although I believe this book can be read as a standalone it was very nice to get an update on the other men from this series.
Back to this story, where Milo is working and saving up for college while living with his brother. Campbell has noticed Milo when he visits Milo’s workplace and other people have noticed that Cam is there when Milo is. There is a definite attraction but the first interaction is definitely not all that.
When they both finally give in there is some explosive chemistry despite the small age gap Cam is a bit uncertain about. They seem to fit really well. Despite the difficult living arrangements with Milo at his brother’s and Campbell living far away, they want to make it work.
It seems to me at times that this story seems to just skip passages where I really would have wanted to read them.
The ending is nice and the epilogue set in the future is definitely easy to recommend, but overall I just wished there would have been more character development and process.
That being said the book is good and I enjoyed reading this series but it could have been more.
