BLURB:
Aaron Baker has a problem. His online clothing company is under attack. Whilst MC Securities tackle the breaches in security, he asks for an agent to pose as his fake boyfriend. He doesn’t bargain for getting a snarky, ex-marine with sad, blue eyes and submissive tendencies.
Dumped by his boyfriend, Finlay Masters concludes that the best, and safest, place for him is to return to the closet. Kicked out by his parents as a kid for being gay, closeted in the army for fifteen years, body wrecked by an explosion that cost him his job, he isn’t the best bet for any kind of relationship. Even a fake one.
As the investigation mounts, Aaron wants more, but Finn has no faith in love, never dared need anyone. Aaron talks of how lucky he is to find him, but Finn knows if he is to have a chance at a relationship at all, he needs to find himself.
REVIEW:
I’ve been very fortunate to read some really good sequels lately and this is one of them.
Finlay Masters is a man who hasn’t had the best luck in his love life. Now determined to keep his heart to himself, he finds that determination waning when confronted with Aaron Baker.
Aaron’s a good man with a real problem who needs help. Finlay is reluctant to become involved but his boss doesn’t really give him much of a choice.
I enjoyed this story a lot. It has a good storyline and although I found it easy to see where it was going, I had a good time getting there. The chemistry between Aaron and Finlay was instant, but took a while a build to it’s explosive climax (lol, punny) and that really worked for me.
It was meant to be a page turner because of the mystery surrounding Aaron’s troubles, but I mostly kept reading because I really liked the characters. They are both flawed, but trying to hard to do the right thing and that is a very attractive quality for me. The author is very good at making their characters sympathetic and easy to love. For me the “mystery” was really quite obvious, but it didn’t matter because I had a great connection with both main characters.
They are also good at the sex scenes and that’s also something I appreciate. Five flames out of five, but I didn’t find that there was too much sex and that’s good as well. I prefer the characters deal with life a little more realistically and actually talk things out instead of just fucking their problems all away.
There isn’t a lot of memorable side characters, but Aaron’s spoiled son really wanted to make me spank him. I guess that’s good too because I think that was what the author was going for.
All in all, this is an easy, fun read. I love the bits of humor as much as the more heart-wrenching parts. I appreciate a book that can make me laugh and cry and if that’s your thing, you will appreciate it too.
