Book Blurb

Sparks ignite when Cupid takes aim at two mortals in Las Vegas: Randy Jones, an average guy on a company vacation, looks into Garrett’s eyes at a craps table and time stands still. Throwing aside everything he believes, Randy engages in a torrid two-night affair with Garrett—only to panic when he realizes he’s fallen in love.

Cynical billionaire Garrett Shiffler has everything money can buy, and most of his dates can’t see past the dollar signs. Life has taught him that innocence and love are figments of the imagination. But when Randy disappears, taking with him feelings Garrett thought he’d never know, Garrett wages the most important battle of his life to win Randy's love—but this time he fights with his heart, not his bank account.

Meanwhile, Cupid wonders what happened. His golden arrows never fail unless the Fates interfere. If Garrett wants to win Randy back, he’s going to have to do it on his own, because the Fates have other plans for Cupid.

First edition published by Dreamspinner Press, July 2012.

Book Review

How can a simple young man and a cynical billionaire find anything to build a lasting relationship on? M.A. Church addresses that question in Priceless, a modern gay romance between Randy Jones and Garrett Shiffler.

Randy meets billionaire, Garrett during a vacation trip to Las Vegas. The attraction between the two is immediate and sizzling hot. Garrett and Randy spend a hot weekend under the sheets in an interlude that's only supposed to be sex, hot sex and nothing else.

Despite the brevity of their days together, Church spends time revealing each man's character to the other. I liked that Randy and Garrett spent time talking to each other. I also liked that Garrett's wealth didn't intimidate Randy, but he held his own in the face of some wild enticements.

Church paints some interesting scenes between Randy and Garrett, as well as between them and their family members and friends. The angst that these characters feel when they blunder is genuine, as is the joy in happier moments. Once Garrett determines that his heart is set on Randy, Church uses some creative moves to resolve the plot. Some elements are confusing, such as the introduction of Cupid. The addition of Cupid and his arrows does not add a great deal to the story. It might be an interesting aside, but Priceless is a fine story without it. Is Garrett going to earn the trust and love of Randy? That's the real tale of Priceless-- a romance worth reading to find out.
