review 1: This wasn't bad necessarily, just not that good either. A very formulaic plot that I've read quite a few times before, with a "straight" policeman who can't keep his dick in his pants when he gets around a flirty badboy suspect in his murder investigation. With the requisite homophobic jerk for a partner and the angst associated with this partner and his maybe disapproving family finding out. Throw in a clunky murder investigation that had me going "wait who?" when the culprit was revealed and I really can't give this more than two stars.A word of warning to those Goodreaders out there with delicate sensibilities. I'm gonna talk about penis. A recurring theme is the instant erection each main character gets at the slightest provocation. Just a word, a look, a smell....inst... moreant hardon. And then twice (once for each MC) we're told that they could feel precum at the tip of their dick and then feel it drip down their shaft. While they had clothes on. This isn't my first time at the rodeo but I have never...just never...felt the presence of precum, let alone felt it drip down my shaft. I mean, sure, I've been making out and getting hot and heavy and then when the clothes are shucked off, I've made a mess in my boxers. But to be so hyper-aware that you can feel that little smear on your boxers-and=pants-clad dick is just crazy. When I read it the first time I was all "Bah! That's dumb." The second time it was more "This totally had to be written by a woman." Sure enough........Others loved it. Meh. For me a definite once and done. Maybe I'm just cranky because it's Thanksgiving and earlier I ate a pile of mashed potatoes the size of a baby.
review 2: Honestly much more of a romance story than a mystery, this story delivered. A reality show star is murdered and the main suspect is the dead man's co-star Gavin Cox. Flamboyant, hot and only into one night stands, Gavin is taken into custody and kept at a police safe house. The task of keeping an eye on Gavin is Detective Rob Turner who is a deeply closeted virgin. Gavin makes it his mission to seduce Rob but doesn't count on remembering his co-star's murder. Wild sex, unrelenting paparazzi and a homophobic police force all combine to make this story a fun and quirky read. Great for a day at the beach or a rainy afternoon at home. less
