Blurb: Marc’s straight, always has been and thought he always would be, but when he’s shown his true love in a magic mirror he’s shocked to find out his true love is a man. Not only that, it’s up to him to convince his true love they’re meant to be together. All bad enough, but after finding Liam, the only way he’s able to persuade Liam to go out with him is to offer him sex — even though that’s something Marc’s definitely not ready for.
Liam thinks Marc is crazy. Marc’s straight but he’s talking about true love and making a life together. Liam doesn’t believe in love and he certainly isn’t going to fall in love with a crazy straight guy regardless of how sexy he is. But he hasn’t reckoned on Marc’s pushy attitude or his offer of sex which, no matter how much he knows he should, Liam can’t turn down.

Review: Penny Brandon just blew my mind. This story came off so possible and real that I was amazed with it. Well not the looking in a mirror and being told about a true love part but the difficulties that Liam had with it. He didn’t believe in love and never dated any man. He just had hook-ups and right after wards he left them.
His mother had loved his father, did everything the man wanted even though her husband, his father did everything he could do to destroy her and her love. He would not leaver her but he cheated on her at every turn. Liam had tried everything to get his mother to leave, but wouldn’t. He knew that to love someone would place your self in the path of being hurt. He would not take the chance ever.
That was until a man comes up to him and tells him of a story. A story that made him think the man was insane. Marc tells him about walking into a store and looking in a mirror and being showed his true mate. The fact that Marc was straight also made him wonder if the man shouldn’t get help. But he realizes that Marc is serious. The problem was he did not want to hurt this man.
Marc knew what Liam thought about what he had told him, but he had to take the chance. He had to show Liam that he could and would love him. He found out why Liam didn’t believe in love, so he sets out to show him and prove to him that he could have it.
This story absolutely blew my mind. For so long I believed the same thing Liam believes. That love doesn’t exist, but in this story it shows you how it can happen and that it does happen. I can not wait to get my hands on the next book in this series. It captured my attention with the first sentence and kept it all the way to the end. Once you read this, you won’t be able to wait till the next book. I can guarantee that once you read it you will fall in love with these two men as I have. It gives you two sexy and quirky men, tenderness, a fantasy, excitement, adventure and a love that will draw you in.
