Review: This is something I rarely ever do… give a book below a three, but in all honesty and soul-searching I just couldn’t.
Crane is handsome, beyond handsome and he knows it. Tye is enamored with him from first sight but being older thinks the man wouldn’t want him. He sets up a job for Crane as a tour guide at the tour company he frequents to spend time with him.
Ok, I left a lot out with that summary. If this was where the book began, I think it had some premise. But instead, it spends pages going on about how he knows he is good-looking and pretty much gives airs that he is above most people because he is.
It puts down obese people quite a bit and centers on self-centered beauty. There are several scenes in the beginning that had absolutely no bearing on the book, the opening scene with Dan, an 18-year-old, and a sex scene with the married man who hires him for the tour job. I could not relate or make myself like Crane at all.
I really wanted to like this story. I usually love the Storming Love Books, but this was one that just wasn’t my cup of tea.
If you like conceited men, highly erotic stories natural disasters, older men/younger men, sugar daddies, and lots of hot man-sex you may like this.
