review 1: I liked this book a lot. I really wanted to love it though, the characters had so much potential and I liked the coming out theme but there was something missing. I needed to see Michael and Luke's love develop more I guess, I just didn't believe it even if it made sense because there wasn't enough build up. I will definitely read the next one because I really liked the characters and I am hoping it's a Brandon or Alex story :)
review 2: FourandHalfStarsI was given this in return for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads.This is a terrific "falling in love and coming out" story with plenty of humor and loveable (and entertainingly awful!) characters.I don't typically enjoy coming out stories. They're usually of the annoying "gay for you" or "I was straight... more til I met you" variety. This wasn't either of those. The main character, Luke, meets his love interest, Michael, while doing his home remodeling. Michael is unapologetically gay, but he's not out for a variety of understandable reasons. I enjoyed watching him unfold and let down his guard.Admittedly, I wasn't terribly interested in some of the context--the details of Luke's work in design and Michael's job as a professional soccer player bored me a bit. I also wasn't fond of the near-perfect attractiveness of most of the characters. However, that was balanced by having realistic personalities and great chemistry. Although I may not be personally interested in design or soccer, the details over the course of the novel did give the characters a more well-rounded feel, and I think they were necessary. My feelings about it are personal opinion, not something the author should have done differently.The only real issue for me was the epilogue. I felt that it wasn't necessary to the story. It felt like wrapping everything up in too neat a bow. I'd have liked to appreciate the last chapter and use my imagination for the rest. Also, it wasn't really action so much as just telling us what happened--more of an information dump than good closure.Overall, this was a fun, sexy, enjoyable read, and I'm looking forward to checking out Ms. Hayes' other work.4.5 starsAmyFiveStarsI was given this in return for an honest review by Inked Rainbow Reads.This was an absolutely wonderful love story. The dialogue was excellent and it gave great insights into the characters. The characters felt so real and the author took great time building Luke and Michael's relationship. It was so well written it pulled me into the story and I couldn't put it down.I loved Luke, he was so adorable, amusing, and so dramatic. His dialogue with Michael, when Michael was trying to teach him Spanish was hilarious. I had so much sympathy for Luke when Tonio would speak Spanish in front of him on purpose. Also when the scandal involving Michael happened I was crushed for Luke.Michael on the other hand was still in the closet and didn't want anyone to know about his life. Some drastic events occurred and I didn't like how Luke was treated by Michael's manager.I absolutely loved the ending! The was a very good read and I definitely recommend it.Sherry less
