Rainbow Book Reviews
Sometimes finding “the One” ends in tragedy – when that guy turns out to be a cheating loser, for example. This is the situation Dirk is facing, except a dishonest ex isn’t all he has to deal with: there is his lack of self-esteem, anger issues only made worse by the ex and the ex’s new boy toy, and a general reluctance to move on and try again. What Dirk needs is a wake-up call, or maybe a reason to take the next step, and he finds exactly that when he meets Ken. Ken and Dirk are very different men, and this story proves, yet again, that can actually be a good thing. Ken is impulsive, loves life, and is a stripper. Dirk is organized, somewhat predictable, and works in an office. But there is a spark between them from the very first, and it was fun and entertaining to watch them fan it into a flame. A lot of their initial attraction is physical, and Dirk feels as though he is being pulled along by a tornado, but their differences can work out to their advantage and as soon as that becomes apparent, they manage to find a new equilibrium. If you enjoy short, hot reads with lots of innuendo, humorous banter, and insta-lust, if you think men from the opposite end of the impulsiveness spectrum can figure out a way to be together, and if you’re looking for a short, light read, then you might like this novella.
