review 1: About 3.5 starsThis is the third book I've read by Lolita Lopez and it was my favorite so far. While the author seems to stick to the novella length book, in her other books that I've read, this caused a lack of development in the story. I think because this book is a contemporary romance vs. the other PNR books of hers that I've read, the novella length worked a little better. Since she didn't need to really develop a plot or build a PNR world, this book was pretty good. Chris and Max meet at a swap meet and Max for the first time realizes he is attracted to men. Max is in his 30s so this is a little unusual because, while he has always been with women and hasn't really been stirred by them, for this to be the first time he's noticed a man is just a little unusual. ... moreBut aside from that, their happenstance meeting works pretty well. This storyline is pretty typical, two men meet but the fear of coming out in an unaccepting workplace weighs heavily on their relationship, driving a wedge between them. Yes, it's been done. But I think the novella length helped in this case because I read this book rather quickly and was happy with the sappy ending.
review 2: This book really surprised me. Chris and Max meet at an elite swap meet. Members must come as a couple, but then are free to swap mates and explore whatever naughtiness their minds can think of. Max is just there as the wing man of a friend. Chris is there just looking for a one night stand. Max has never experienced or even considered a manlove relationship, but something about Chris draws him. Who cares if Max is a French billionaire who lives in France? What difference does it make that Chris is a Houston firefighter whose sister bought his expensive suit? They burn up the sheets and will let tomorrow take care of itself.This book surprised me. I figured it was going to be a pretty typical MM read. Boy meets boy. Boy does boy. Boys live happily ever after. Not! This is a pretty short read, but it has a nice mix of hot sex and well developed characters. The road to their HEA is bumpy, but sweet. less
