BLURB:
Romeo Preminger’s new smoldering romantic thriller has a reveal you will not see coming.
Erik Odegaard is beautiful, successful, and runs with an A-list Hollywood crowd. He’s the aggressive bedmate of twenty-eight-year-old Mason’s dreams. Their whirlwind romance turned into a picture perfect wedding in Maui and a new home for the two of them on the beach in Malibu. Sometimes it feels like everything Mason ever wanted, though Erik’s intense and private personality has drawbacks outside of the bedroom.
Then Erik’s twin brother Lucas shows up at their doorstep needing a place to crash while he rebuilds his life after serving time. Erik calls his brother a walking train wreck, but he’s actually everything Mason hasn’t been getting from Erik. Lucas is kind and adorably playful, and he doesn’t take himself so seriously. There’s an undeniable physical attraction, and when Erik starts giving signals he wouldn’t mind if Mason and Lucas explored that, Mason has got a lot to reevaluate about the kind of life he imagined for himself. But a slow drip of secrets from the past sheds a new light on the Odegaard brothers and their true intentions.
REVIEW:
This one surprised me. Started out thinking it would be some type of delicious taboo, but it ended up being quite a bit different than that, but in a way that had me turning pages. It starts out a bit slow as we learn the dynamics (or so we think) of Erik and Mason’s relationship.
I admit that I was a bit put off by the writing at first with some of the terms/word usage, but once the story took hold, my attention was drawn away from that and engaged into what was actually happening.
Erik is pretty awful. He’s a high powered attorney, controlling and not very caring. He and Mason are newly married, but it doesn’t take long before Erik shows the signs of throwing their salary disparities in Mason’s face, and their sex is on the rough side (although Mason appears to enjoy this). This, however, is when Erik begins to plant the seed of Lucas into their lives.
Lucas is Erik’s twin and is seemingly the complete opposite of Erik. Although he is newly released from prison for allegedly killing his boyfriend, he is sweet and funny painting the picture of a guy down on his luck just needing a fresh start. He is everything Erik isn’t, and Mason takes notice.
I won’t say more so as not to give too much away, but suffice to say, there are a number of twists and turns that take place. There is a lot more to the twins’ story, and nothing is as it seems. While this started out slow for me, I was invested about halfway through and sped to the end. This is more of a romantic thriller. While there isn’t really a HEA, it does have a somewhat satisfactory ending given all of the circumstances. If you’re looking for something a bit different, give this one a try.
