Book Blurb

Greyson Cole needs to get out of Raleigh. Everywhere he turns, he sees people falling in love, getting married, and starting families. It’s enough to make a grown man want to rip out his own hair. And for a cynic like Grey, one more employee getting engaged signals the need for a long overdue vacation. Grey owns a cabin in the mountains that he has never even used, and he figures that’s just the ticket out of this nightmare of happily paired up couples.

Grey doesn’t expect to be greeted by a belligerent, half-naked man the minute he opens his cabin door.

Sirus Wilder has known Grey’s twin sister for years, and she has given him permission to stay in the cabin while his residence across the lake is under repair. Sirus has never met Greyson Cole before, but he is thankful when the man lets him share the cabin for a few days. There is plenty enough room for them each to keep to themselves. Sirus has had his heart broken and isn’t interested in a hook-up, let alone something more.

Even so, Grey is, hands-down, one of the sexiest men Sirus has ever seen. Too bad he’s an arrogant ass and his eyes are so damn cold. Every once in a while, though, Sirus thinks he sees a hint of fiery passion in the controlled man sleeping one room away.

For Grey, one look at the roughly handsome Sirus puts Grey’s celibacy pact in serious jeopardy. One problem: Grey doesn’t believe in love, has even less patience for relationships, and he refuses to get mixed up in another messy romantic partnership that can only end badly.

Two weeks. Two hard men. Both running like hell from love.

Look out. Something’s gotta give.

 

 

This book is related to The Sweetest Tattoo but can be read as a stand alone title.

Book Review

Not the typical reluctant bottom's male/male romance tale, I enjoyed this book tremendously and it goes on my reread again and again list. Well crafted with a balanced timing of incidents and emotional angst, both characters were a delight to inhabit and were truly complementary to each other. Great individuals make for an even greater couple and I was rooting for these two from the beginning.

Loving Grey initially for his unflinching appraisal of himself and his right to be unyielding in his choice of sexual position, I loved him even more as he gradually relented under the onslaught of emotion he felt for his of-the-moment lover. I found his struggle realistic, and welcomed the heroic dignity and valor he revealed in facing his demons, we should all hope to bridge our gaps that bravely. Very inspiring.

Sirus, well I give many kudos to the author for his ability to write a man so large into someone so adorable... without a hint of girlishness. Like Grey I, too, fell in love with Sirus. Beautifully written moments between this character and his mother had me itching to burst into the book and give the latter a few wake-up smacks, but it was moments like that which made this book a gem. I was allowed to be both a voyeur and admirer of one of the best couples I've read since KA Mitchell's "No Souvenirs".

Bravo, Cameron Dane, I hope you sell many copies of this beautiful emotional tale. Oh, I mustn't go before commending you on your stimulating and vigorous sex scenes, sparkling, hot and very, um thorough.
