review 1: My Review:This is the second book in the working boys series. I read book #1 and expected more of the same type of in-depth story. This one (and book #3) didn't quite live up to that level of depth, but it was an interesting story. Andy is a burly, beefy go-go dancer. He's a former marine suffering from PTSD after his lover died alongside him in Afghanistan. He's barely making it as a dancer and is hoping to break into porn...where the good money is. He has his shot the night that Stefan catches his eye in the club. Stefan is distracting in that he looks like Andy's dead lover, something he was already having an issue with on this night with flashbacks. The story is very short. It covers a very short amount in time and I wish that it had gone on a bit longer so that there ... morewas more than just the happily for now ending. But what was there was entertaining for an hour's read. I do have to say though that the big burly marine persona of Andy just doesn't fit my idea of a go-go dancer. When I imagine go-go dancer, I think twink or lean, not burly. I could be totally wrong here because let's face it I'm a hetero woman not a gay man hitting up the clubs, but it just seemed slightly off... although I could totally see him as a porn bear. And speaking of visuals...can we take a moment to ogle that cover? Gor.Geous!!
review 2: I love JP Barnaby. She is a fantastic writer, with real, three-dimensional characters, believable situations, and hot sex. ☺I really enjoyed Working Boys 1 and was looking forward to Working Boys 2 very much.The story is very good. Andy is a complex character and intriguing. Stefan is a sweet and gentle soul, the perfect balm to Andy’s angst.I totally get that an author needs to write the story she sees fit and that it needs to end where she feels it needs to end, but as the reader I really wanted this book to go on longer. I felt like I had just gotten to the meat of the story and suddenly *poof, it was over. In my perfect world I would have seen less of Andy with the stranger at the gym and more with Andy and Stefan, building their relationship. This didn’t stop me from enjoying the story, but it did leave me feeling unsatisfied. Maybe that was her intention ☺.It is definitely a HFN story, which are not my favorite types of books, but I did get the feeling things would work out, eventually. I hope, like we saw in this book, we get a glimpse of Andy and Stefan in a Book 3. I really enjoyed that brief conversation with Charlie at the bar, gave me a warm fuzzy!I give this book a 3.5 of 5 hearts because JP is such a gifted writer and the story is a good one, but it felt incomplete to me. less
