BLURB:

Twenty-nine-year-old sales rep Dan is unlucky with love, but lucky with sex since he got cut and made up for lost time growing up as a skinny gay kid who got pushed around. All-American, Texan stud Bryce Landon is on Dan’s A-list of hook-up buddies, but the guy’s vibe is different when they get together at MDM-Con in Vegas this year. Does Bryce want something more?

Dan can’t do that. He’s been burned by closeted, married guys before. While Dan sidesteps Bryce at the convention, he meets a smoking hot, local Daddy-type named Garth. Now he’s caught between two guys who’d like to tame his wild ways. It’s not a bad place to be, but can he give love a try with a dude who’s got drama written all over him or take a chance with an older man who buried his boyfriend of ten years?

REVIEW: 

I’ll be honest: I didn’t like this book at first. I thought it was a bit crude and sad but those feelings dissipated after the first chapter. I thought that Dan was the most self-centered jerk for the way he was treating Bryce. But as you read, you gaininsight into Dan’spast and what makes him the way that he is. Once you see this, you begin to realize that he’s not a jerk at all he’s just been hurt and his behavior is a way for him to protect his heart.

This is the new to me author but I must say that I am really digging his writing style. There are no fancy, flowery words to describe the situations that these characters find themselves in it’s cut and dry; straight to the point. The dialogue, the sex scenes, everything is written with a bit of… Coarseness? Brashness? I can’t seem to find the correct word to describe this direct style but I will say that it is high key refreshing to read. Yes, there is a time for romance and flowers, whining and dining, but there is a time where those things aren’t necessarily what is wanted or what is even needed. If you’re looking for a story with longing romance, this ain’t it. This is a bit on the smutty side. But it’s well written, sophisticated smut. The BEST kind.

Any misgivings that I had about this book were gone by the end of the first chapter and I was captivated and intrigued by the story that this writer spun. Look, this isn’t your typical man meets man, man falls in love, flowers hearts and dinner type of romance. There is no riding off into the sunset to live happily ever after And that is quite alright because not everyone’s love story involves that. This story involves the situations that they have now, and they are making the best of what they have now.

But at the end I was very, very pleased with what I read and I definitely recommend you read this book. The writing style was cool, crisp and direct;eventhe sex scenes.  The way the book flowed you definitely didn’t get any pretty packaging in terms of how the story was told with this book andyou know what?I liked that. I liked that a lot.
