5.0

This story gripped me from the very first page. Gavin was easy to love and Lex was someone you would like to meet one day. While both had drastically different personalities, they both worked well together - even when they weren't meant to!
Gavin is dealing with an ex-wife who is trying to make his life miserable and Lex is the police officer who begins to fall for him.
One of the best things about this novel is the topic of sexuality. Both men are obviously bisexual - showing an interest in being with both men and women - and it's great to read a novel that taps into that! Sometimes bisexual men are left behind in lgbt+ books, so this novel was perfect for breaking down the barriers in modern literature.
The story had me engaged from beginning to end and the sexual scenes were so diverse. I never knew what I was going to read!
This author has made a great point in bringing characters to life and having them tell the story to the reader.

The blurb pulled me in, but it was clearly the wrong book for me. I can add whiny, indecisive, child-like MCs to my list of hard limits. (No bueƱo, y'all.) If parts of this book hadn't been hysterically funny, finishing it would have been impossible.

***MINI-RANT WARNING***

Gavin annoyed the crap out of me. I kept wishing I could slap him and make him grow a pair so he would act like the intelligent, well-educated man he was supposed to be. I can appreciate a sensitive guy, but his constant crying (real tears y'all) and pouting was over the top IMO. How Lex tolerated his behavior through most of the book boogles my mind. LOL!

On a more positive note, I appreciated the way the author handled the topic of bisexuality. She made it clear that the MCs identified as bisexual, not gay, and they fell in love with the person not the gender. Love is love!
