3.7 I really enjoyed this read. I mean standard Frank/Blaine random cliffhanger, but since I knew it was coming I was more prepared for it.
Ace is an A-list action star, newly out of the closet, but it wasn’t by choice and he’s still a bit nervous about it. He’s an action star, it’s one thing to be gay in theory, it’s another to show it through photos.
Cut to, Dylan. Dylan is the model Ace has been lusting over via his underwear add on Sunset Blvd. Dylan, who’s lusted over Ace’s movies, now has a bit role in his new film.
It’s instalove without actually being instalove. The both of them are immediately attracted to one another but they flirt for a long time before Ace finally relents and gives into his wants. And they begin dating on the sly, cooking dinner for each other, watching movies at each other’s homes and it’s sweet. Ace realizes he can be vulnerable with Dylan, and Dylan realizes Ace can be just another guy and not hands off movie star. And it works.
It works until the two head to Vegas, a romantic getaway Ace created for Dylan, fully giving himself over through trust. And it’s hot. These two are consistently hot.
In the end, once the two are outed as a couple, Ace had two options. Dylan or no Dylan. Now I have to immediately get to book 2!
There was something niggling me about this book, and I never knew what it was. I didn’t want to put it down, but the story didn’t progress as fast as I felt it could have. They’re also on the honeymoon newness of their relationship, can’t keep their hands off. I’m intrigued to see how they work with the inherent pressure of being in a fishbowl together.
