BLURB:
Will a mix of privilege and blue collar be a recipe for love… or disaster?
Dan’s pretty satisfied with his job at the working-class bar Cowboys and Angels. He enjoys his simple life, his apartment, and his cat, but he could do without the fights that break out in the bar, his boss’s meddling daughter, Ariel… oh, and a brutal, unrequited crush on his straight alpha boss, Gideon.
When Dan’s friend prepares to tie the knot, everyone insists that Dan needs a date for the wedding. Before he can protest, Ariel arranges a gay speed-dating event at the bar with Gideon as a participant. The unforeseen revelation that Gideon is bisexual raises Dan’s hopes, especially when Gideon announces that he wants to accompany Dan to the wedding. Could Gideon really be interested in Dan?
When Dan needs someone most, Gideon offers his unconditional support, and with genuine commitment, he shows Dan the kind of man he really is. Teaming up to save the wedding from a hungover groom and intolerant parents, can Gideon convince Dan they’re the best match since beer and pizza?
REVIEW:
There’s a whole lot to love about this book.
Dan, a man who’s worked hard to make something out of himself. He’s good at his job and likes what he does, even if he’s a little lonely at times.
Gideon is a man who’s lived through true heartbreak, but after years of healing, he’s finally found a way to start to move on. His world revolves around his daughter for good reason, but he needs to find a way to do something for himself.
Ariel is a bit of a brat, but she mostly has the best of intentions. She’s another one with a lesson to learn.
I had so much fun watching Dan and Gideon dance around each other. Dan is so convinced that Gideon really can’t be interested in him for more than a fake date and the best part of is this story is how Gideon goes about changing his mind.
I like the world the author has created for these characters. As someone who has spent some time in a bar or two, it was easy for me to put myself into the story and see how the characters lived in it.
It’s a pretty low angst story and usually that would disappoint me, but this story just flowed along, taking me on this wonderful journey with two men who were meant for each other and the family they create.
I curled up with this story on a rainy evening and once it got started, I couldn’t put it down until I was done. It’s mostly sweetness with just a few drops of sad that makes the happily ever after so much more wonderful.
I can’t wait for the next book in this Sue Brown series.
