Blurb: After the death of his parents, Shane McCloud rents an apartment with his younger brother, Ian, on Perdido Key, Florida.
Vowing to start anew, the two brothers decide to go out to a local bar to have some well-deserved fun. That night Shane meets a man named Roger who blows him away in more ways than one. After a quick romp in a men’s room stall, Shane can’t stop thinking about the attractive man.
Anthony Antonelli didn’t mean to give a false name but he never expected to see Shane again, anyway. Hell, it had been years since he last saw his high school crush so the chances were slim to none…or so he thought.
Unable to stay away from Shane, Anthony finds himself at the bar where they first became reacquainted the following night. And after seeing Shane, all goes well but unfortunately Anthony can’t resist telling one more lie.
Then another.
And then another.

Review: The main problem I saw with this book was the fact that the author used the wrong names for the guys. Anthony goes into to the restaurant and is talking to his dad. Anthony says he talked to Anthony today, when it should have been he talked to Shane. A few pages before that it was Shane’s brother telling him that Shane showed up to see him. This happens a few times in the book. It drives me up the wall that an author has a great story and when you come across mistakes that are so easy to catch it leaves me with questions.
This is the first book that I have read from this author and as I said it would have been a great story if it had not had all the mistakes that I had noticed. It makes it come across like the author rushed this book.
Shane and his brother Ian lost their parents to a car crash, and were more or less forced to move. Finding an apartment was on their side and so were the great neighbors. When they decide to celebrate at the club, Shane was shocked to find himself doing some hot stuff in the bathroom. It wasn’t till his new neighbors take him to a restaurant that he finds out the truth. His sexy lover had lied about who he was.
Anthony has always liked Shane, but was ashamed of who he was at one time, so he lied about who he was. Anthony had been a big boy when they were in school and he wanted to come off as someone else. Too bad it gets his ass in trouble.
Now normally when I am disappointed in a book I don’t normally look forward to reading the next story. However since this is the first of a series, I am wanting to see what he does with the next book. So far I am disappointed in the mistakes that were easy to notice. I hope the next book is edited better.
Now overall, the story is sexy, hot and has great potential. I look forward to hearing about what Ian is going to get into.
