review 1: While I liked whole premise and characters to a degree, they just left me wanting. Like for a back bone. I mean, they're over 30, they are grown up men and... I mean I was not that emotional and insecure when I was a teen. Alas, that was ages ago. I liked Cole. His attitude, his pet names, practically everything, except... He's rich, he would be like Paris Hilton, with mass of friends and acquaintances and not siting home at 6 pm. Where are their friends? Where are the ladies? Every gay man has lady friends. And that is a fact, like sun rising in the morning. Also - jeez, is it really possible to lay off a person after working at a company for 9 years? Effective immediately? And pay him/her only 1 month severance? After 9 years? Because, you know. I'm from Europe, we have... more labor law here. (You get a written notice at least 2 months prior and a severance up to 6 moths salary) It was really odd.
review 2: Soooo, I know many of the readers loved the book, and I can see all this 5 stars my GR friends gave, but to me it was such a long boring start.I did not like Cole for most of the book and to me it really started only at about 60% because up till the 60% mark it was all about how Jon and Cole did not want a real relationship, only "friends with benefits" and when they finally admitted to themselves that they do want each other, they could not communicate or get over themselves, and for no good reason.It got a lot better after that but it was a bit late for it to be more than 3 stars for me. less
