Blurb: When spoiled, arrogant Gabe Dotson signed on as the lead in a gay film, he had no idea he’d be confronting his own demons. While he’s finally come to respect his co-star Tony, he continues to worry about his family’s reaction. But his hopes that they never find out crumble when unexpected media buzz develops. Now, with the final sex scene approaching, Gabe is forced to face both his feelings for Tony and the overwhelming shame he’s felt since childhood.

Adult film star Tony Ayotte has all his hopes and dreams riding on the success of this movie. It’s his big chance to put porn in his past and make it as a real actor. With the emotional trauma of the last few weeks behind them, Tony has truly come to care for his co-star. But with Gabe unable to acknowledge what’s happening between them, Tony is starting to wonder if he will ever come to terms with it. With so much on the line though, Tony refuses to let Gabe’s fears stand in his way.

Things only get hotter as the film wraps up, but can their shaky relationship endure when their deepest, darkest secrets are revealed?

Review: Even though Tony and Gabe still have issues with each other, Tony is determined to fulfill his dream. Things heat up between these two after the movie wraps up. I felt sorry for Gabe and completely understood his worries. But, he’s an adult and shouldn’t worry about what others think.

Loved both characters. They each had their own issues they were struggling with throughout. I think if they had just talked to each other from the start maybe things would have went smoother for them.

Good read.

Blurb: Spoiled rich-kid Gabe Dotson’s big break as an actor comes with a catch: the movie is a love story between two men…and he’s straight. He thinks he can handle it, until he realizes he has to get down and dirty on set. Gabe’s scared of what his conservative family will think, but walking away means admitting he’s failed as an actor.

Yet what scares him the most are the feelings he’s starting to have around his blond, muscular co-star…feelings that are stirring up painful memories from his past.

When ex-football star Tony Ayotte moved to Hollywood he wasn’t planning on becoming a gay porn star, but that’s where he ended up. Since then, he’s earned his reputation, but he’s never let go of his dream: to star in a legitimate film. When the chance finally comes along, he’s thrilled that fortune is smiling on him at last.

Unfortunately, he and his co-star come from different worlds. Gabe is as stuck-up as he is classically handsome, and Tony can’t resist trying to get a rise out of him.

With so much animosity between them, a true connection seems nearly impossible. And when things begin to heat up on set, Tony wonders if Gabe’s disgust is masking his real feelings.

Soon they’re confronting deeper fears that could leave them both spiraling out of control…

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: You have two people who are opposites. One, Tony, is a gay porn star wanting something better for himself. The other is Gabe. A stuck up rich kid who is straight. They both are given roles in a movie together that require intimacy. I honestly didn’t think these two would be able to work together because of the animosity between them after they meet. But as the story progressed Gabe’s feelings start to change.

Tony’s character struck me as the type who liked to antagonize Gabe just to see how he would react. But they are both very passionate. I was glad that Tony got his chance to star in a movie rather than doing porn.

I liked the way that both characters are dealing with past issues throughout. This story will continue in the next book.

Good read.
