review 1: Dan moved into his family home to prepare it for sale after his mom moved out. He sees new neighbors Jaden and Brendan move in and thinks they are college kids. After an embarrassing start, he meets some of their friends and with the help of their friend Ethan, decides to remodel the kitchen before selling. Now Dan is straight, just divorced, or he thinks he is, sort of, maybe. He’s also still obsessed with his childhood best friend with whom he experimented a bit. Ethan more or less moves in as he lives far away and helps him remodel. They are just friends until a run-in with the old friend finally triggers Dan to make a move. There is also a bit of a subplot of sexual harassment at work for Dan. I did not read the first story with Jaden and Brendan, but will definitely... more be correcting that. I really enjoyed this. Not too much angst or drama, but two guys becoming friends, working on a common goal and getting to know each other.
review 2: I wanted to like this more than I did. I think the author has a lot of promise, but the story didn't quite work for me. There was good sexual tension in the first half, and I not only enjoyed that but was impressed by how it was accomplished, but for me the story fell apart after that. I thought the troubles on Dan's trip were overblown, and the solution too pat. Most unfortunately, corporate politics would prevent Dan from being reinstated, and I'm sadly speaking from experience. For some reason the sex scenes didn't work for and I found myself skipping them, mostly. That said, I did like Dan, and I really, really liked Ethan. I would buy another book by this author, but not the prequel to this one, I don't think. less
