Blurb: Rick Wentworth has had enough of one-night stands and quickies in clubs. It takes a night of uncharacteristic hedonism to make Rick admit what he really wants – someone to love him. But for that to happen, he needs to make some changes. Rick can do that. After all, what’s the alternative? And when he meets a guy who ticks all his boxes, he can’t believe his luck. His boss Blake Davis, and Blake’s fiancé Will Parkinson, however, aren’t convinced. They want to know more about Mr. Perfect, and their instincts are keener than Rick’s. Both men want to protect him. As it turns out, they needn’t have worried. Rick has a guardian angel…
When Angelo Tarallo sees Rick for the first time, it’s a match made in Heaven, as far as he’s concerned. And when he rescues Rick from danger, it gives him the opportunity to get to know the man who has captivated him. Before long, it’s plain to both men that this could lead somewhere. But when Angelo’s traditional Sicilian family finally discover what he’s been hiding from them for so long, an ultimatum spells heartache for the lovers – and worse.

Review: This is the second book in a series and though it can be read alone, you may want to read Making it Personal first to better understand some secondary characters within this book.
Rick Wentworth loves his job at Trinity Publishing. It’s his love life that leaves a little something to be desired. After his most recent night out that ended with an oh so sexy three-way, he reevaluates his priorities and decides to stop the clubbing and never-ending string of one night stands. He sees the way Blake (his boss) and Will (his best friend) look at each other and he wants what they have. So the next guy he meets that he has a connection with he decides to take things painfully slow. Too bad he turns out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Angelo Tarallo comes from a traditional large Italian family and his upbringing was strict and proper; in other words, he has morals and values. From the first time he sees Rick at the club, he is mesmerized. When Rick is in trouble one night, Angelo comes to the rescue and the two become fast friends. Neither man is willing to give up their heart easily though, so they slowly build a relationship that is based on trust and mutual attraction. But right as their slow burn is igniting, something happens to stifle the flames.
This story was all about choices, changes, and the lasting effect they have on people. Rick chooses to change not only his lifestyle, but also his way of thinking and he’s truly happier for it. But when Angelo allows his traditional family and their archaic way of thinking to make his choices for him, it just might destroy both their lives. I loved how Angelo made it his mission to court Rick. And how their backgrounds, that were as alike as they were different, defined the men they became.
A little something happened at the end of the story, a complete 360 that was slightly unrealistic to me, so I marked off a little for that. But overall, this was an engrossing read all about being the person YOU want to be. There was some pretty hot sex peppered in there as well! The threesome was hot, the Skype scene was scorching, and their first time was amazing!! But there is a solid storyline to wrap it all up in a nice little bow. Did you need to wonder? Yes, this is a must read.
