Story
On 9/11, firefighter Nick Fletcher’s world changed forever. He's unable to rid himself of survivor’s guilt, made worse by the secret he hides from his family and co-workers. Nick's life is centered around helping burn victims, until he is reunited with the man he’d once loved but pushed away. Now he has a second chance at a love he thought lost forever. For fashion designer Julian Cornell, appearances mean everything. His love affairs are strictly casual, and the only thing he cares about is making his clothing line a success.

Micah Beck is the last thing I expect to find wandering around my brother's beach house, naked, only wearing an acoustic guitar, but he's the first thing that has ever had me craving for just one "anything goes" night. Micah is tempting, talented, and addictive to the last drop. Not to mention, he's completely confident in all that he does. Especially with those fingers, and I can't deny that it's such a turn on.

Story
With his tousled hair and cocky grin, bartender Cameron Reed is no stranger to the attention of women. He dates, but never gets serious, claiming that he’s too focused on his studies. But it’s not really school that preoccupies him; it’s sensual fantasies of his best friend’s sister. Mina Silver might be absolutely off-limits because of her overprotective brother and father, but that doesn’t stop Cam from imagining the feel of her in his arms, the brush of his lips over her soft skin, or the sparks that would fly between them if he ever got her into bed.

Who knew sleeping with the enemy could be this much fun? In my defense, I had just moved back into my grandparent’s house. I’d lost my dream job, and a guy on Tinder had stood me up. It was like life had suddenly stamped ‘LOSER’ on my forehead. So, when the guy behind the bar started giving me the look....you know, the one....You don’t bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse, and ride it! By the time I’d figured out who the bartender was, I was already falling for him.

My mother's New Year's resolution for me was simple: make a serious effort at putting myself out there and dating again and do it for one full year. Or, until I fell in love. Whichever came first. How hard could one year of swipes and matches and awkward first dates be? In a word: bad. In nine words: bad and also hilarious, demoralizing, exhausting, and ridiculously amusing.

Ryana, a worthless girl-child, is sold to a mysterious woman who takes her to the home of the Shadow Sisters who are prized for their abilities as spies and assassins. She survives years of training in spite of being unconventional: adopting poisonous bats as familiars - something no one else would dare to do; choosing the blow dart as her weapon of choice - a weapon the Sisters don't teach; and relying on intuition rather than logic. As she completes her training, the Shadow Sisters are under attack and send Ryana out to find out who is killing Sisters and why.

Summary
When shy programmer, Charlie, is dragged to a "Magic Mike" club in Hollywood by his co-workers, the last thing he expects is to be pulled onstage. But when he's approached by Ramon, a dancer whose only focus is to bring him pleasure, something awakens in Charlie that can't be denied. Yet heated attraction only goes so far when one man dreams of true love and a life finally fulfilled, and the other is still grieving the one he lost, and the mistake that cost him everything. Can a realist and a dreamer from two different worlds move forward and build a future together, or will their painful pasts keep them from fulfilling their destiny? Contains mature themes.

Marvellous book. Worthy of so much more!
This book with its twists and turns, certainly keeps your attention. Maybe, I hope, that we shall see this on the big screen! I would certainly go to see it. Even if it were just on DVD/BLU-RAY, I would certainly purchase this. I can imagine Charlie David, especially when I think back to his performance in 'Mulligan's'. It would be a pity to see such a masterpiece like this, confined to paper, audio book and electronic reader.

Not for the literate
Grammatical and syntactical errors make the suspension of disbelief very difficult. The story is melodrama, but almost juvenilia. Are there no editors anymore?

couldn’t suspend disbelief
I tried to like this but should have noped out when the main POV character referred to professional female colleagues as girls. Not that this doesn’t happen, just that the whole techbro vibe went unexamined.
There was an attempt to make this ‘virgin meets stripper’ setup work, but through most for the first 2 meetups, I just pictured Butters’s crush on the girl at Raisins. Ramon does this job for money. Your opening move of revealing your personal tragedy made me flinch with an “oh, honey, no. Not like that.” I kept talking back at being impressed about not needing menus to order fish tacos at the closest place to work. “You seem to like nachos.” “Yes, I love Mexican food.” You don’t say. But what got me to stop was when he picked up Ramon for a date and was mad that Ramon looked too good. Because somehow wearing his tight after work clothes meant he was trying to attract *other* men. That’s toxic nonsense that leads to abusive dynamics, so when he launched into “don’t you feel exploited by you job?” interrogation, I quit for real. Asking for the “please don’t write strippers as main characters if you think stripping makes one abject” challenge.
Steam: the stage scene smoldered, which is one reason I kept reading. I never got far enough to assess overall steam.
Narration: the other reason I didn’t give ip earlier, although he didn’t try to give Ramon a Texas or Miami accent, it was still good.

Something was off
I don’t know what it was about this book but something was just a little off for me. There was a lot of back and forth and quite frankly I found the MC a tad on the annoying side. However overall the narrator did a great job and I liked how it was tied up at the end. Feels like could’ve stretched some of that out more and cut out one or two of the back and forth.

Problematic
The narration was spot on. The book on the other hand was highly problematic in numerous ways. The pandering and paternalistic attitude of Charlie and other characters toward Charlie’s disabled adult sister was the biggest issue I had with the book. Charlie’s lack of likability and childish point of view was another. He was unable to take any tiny bit of teasing without sulking and acting like a belligerent child. Also, his inability to respect Ramon’s boundaries and refusal to take no for an answer was alarming. Basically the MC was an overgrown petulant child masquerading as a mature adult. He had no social skills despite us being led to believe he was a successful and wealthy professional. Impossible.

Too overdone
The story had potential but pretty quickly devolved into overdone drama. The main character doesn't act like an adult male, instead is a thinly veiled stand-in for the intended reader: overloaded middle aged women who has too much responsibility on their shoulders and just wants a happily ever after with hunky guy sex. The main character repeatedly acted like an irrational teenage girl. The normalizing of irrational jealousy in this book was creepy. Yeeech.
