BLURB:

I guess you could say I was just like any other straight guy in his twenties: booze, bars, pumping iron, chasing girls – you know the deal.
Until I became a gay porn star.
This is how I got here.

The Instagram message came out of nowhere: “Hey, I’m Mike from Broke Straight Bros. We’re a gay porn site, but we specialize in finding unknown straight guys like you. We came across your profile and really like your look. We’d love to explore your interest in doing a shoot with us! PS: the $$$ would be substantial.”

Of course I laughed it off and moved on. I mean, I’m straight – why would I ever do that? But fate had other plans. When my mom’s health issues took a turn, her doctors said she needed life-saving surgery – and her insurance wouldn’t entirely cover it. So since I was already broker than broke, I swallowed my pride, crawled back to Mike, and made an offer: one solo video. No sex. No other guys. Just me, my hand, and some lube, all in the name of helping my mom.

My first shoot went surprisingly well – so well, in fact, that it went viral. So Mike came back with an even more shocking offer: $10,000 for a shoot with a guy. And with my mom’s bills mounting, I pushed the anxiety out of my mind, watched some gay porn for research, and then had dinner with my potential costar, Justin Kane, just to feel things out. But that created the biggest problem of all: Justin turned out to be funny, kind, charismatic, and has a bubble butt sent from the gods…

And against all odds, I think I might like him. According to Mike, though, the #1 rule in porn is never to fall for your costar. Ever. If I catch feelings and make things weird, I could get fired on the spot and lose my only shot at saving my mom. But the clock is ticking, the shoot is tomorrow, it’s too late to back out now…

And Justin’s gooey brown eyes are getting no less mesmerizing.

REVIEW:

I read the synopsis for this book and was immediately interested. I was delighted to receive an arc from the author and started it right away.

What we get is a very personal and interesting story from a man who is struggling with some major things in life and who really could use a break in whatever form. What he gets is a break in a totally unexpected way being offered to do a shoot for a gay porn company.

Money can do a lot of things and in this case it can make sure his mom will be taken care of. He takes the gamble and does that first shoot.

The next offer is there and he also takes that on and then comes the offer that’s to good to refuse, right??!

As the blurb says the offer is to shoot with a guy and is he willing to do that?

What you don’t read in the blurb and what you need to experience for yourself is how this all evolves. The feelings, the thoughts, the insecurity, the loneliness, the care, the family love…so much for one person to be going through.

Those are the things that drew me into this story. There is so much underlying sentiment and emotions that I found myself feeling very involved in what he is doing or willing to do.

The conversation between both men is extremely interesting and sharp. I love how the author played that out including the rules and regulations they have to endure.

And there is where my only point of criticism comes from. I didn’t expect this book to end where it did. And then finding out there will be a book 2?

I am seriously not wanting to wait for that book! I want to read what happens and see how this all ends up.

So please Mister King can you make sure to get that part two out asap please. That would be highly appreciated 😉

On a site note I wonder about Mike and his happiness but perhaps that is something for another story, I guess 🙂
