Six Degrees of Lust by Taylor V. Donovan

5.0

Holy crap, why did I wait so long to read this? Fuh-ricking awesome!

There were a LOT of characters in this story, a lot of different things going on, which, usually, I don't like. In this one though, they all fit together (even if they don't KNOW they fit together), and I just kept wanting to read more. The chemistry between Mac and Sam is off the charts hot, and I know some people don't like Sam's assholeish attitude, but I totally do. I get that it's just a way to protect himself from getting too close, even if I rage at the unfairness to Mac at times. Bravo to Mac for totally figuring out how to play him though.

There are a bunch of side characters involved, and while ordinarily, I'd have a tough time keeping them all straight (haha, is anyone straight in this book?? Oh yeah, I think the women are), they are different enough that it's not bothering me at all. I'm really intrigued by Logan, Christian and Remy, Braxton, and even 15 year old Sasha has me wanting to know more!

Yes, it expects a bit too much to have the reader believe that ALL these wonderful gay and bisexual men just so happen to come together at the same time and have all sorts of things in common, but that's the whole six degrees thing coming into play, and how people can be connected but have no idea.

The murder mystery is also keeping me engaged. I keep thinking I know who it is, and then second guessing myself, and then turning back around to my original theory again. I'm dying to know what the heck happened with Sam, his ex, and their baby and why Sam gets the blame for it all, as well as the full details of Mac's bargain with his family and his bitch of a friend, Amy. (who I hope falls off a cliff in book two. A very high cliff, into shark infested waters.)

Needless to say, I immediately fired up book 2 on my tablet, hope it doesn't have quite the cliffhanger, but thankfully, book 3 is due out soon.

Does anyone have any idea how many installments this series is supposed to have?
