Blurb: Carlos and Thomas need one night when they don’t talk about planning their wedding.

Carlos’ family keeps butting in, big chunks of Thomas’ family refuse to be involved, and the stress of planning this huge celebration for this many people—many of whom don’t speak the same language—is too much.

Carlos declares that they are going to spend one night together without wedding planning. To sweeten the pot, they play a little game by pretending to meet for the first time at an expensive restaurant downtown.

But at the restaurant, Thomas runs into Jimmy Colton, an old college crush who is in town for business. By the time Carlos arrives, the game has changed, and the three of them are heading back to Jimmy’s hotel room to fulfill a long-held fantasy.

Review: There is nothing like a sexy little short to send you off to bed with sweet dreams. And that is just what this book was. Short, Sexy and Steamy, my three favorite colors!

High School sweethearts Thomas and Carlos are planning their wedding, and the pressure is getting to them in more ways than one. Carols sister’s constant nagging about their choice for flower girl is just a tiny drop in the pond of insanity that has become their wedding planning. In an attempt to get away for a night and reconnect, Carlos decides a little role-playing is in order. So he dresses his fiancé up in his finest suit and sends him off to a trendy bar to wait for him, “the stranger” to come pick him up.

Not long after arriving at the pre-determined destination, Thomas is at the bar drink in hand when he see’s Carols waving. Only it isn’t Carlos, it’s a friend from high school that all the boys crushed on, Jimmy. Once Jimmy is let in on the little secret behind tonight’s outing, he decides to deepen the intrigue and throw himself into the mix, so to speak. Will Carlos and Thomas take a chance at crossing an item off their bucket list by allowing another man into their bed? Even if it is a man, they’ve known since high school.

This story was so realistic and intriguing. Before I knew it, I was finished. Duvalier delivered a well-written, well-paced novella guaranteed to spice up about an hour in anyone’s day. The characters just clicked and the story flowed so well. Very steamy but sensual, and the ending leaves me hoping that there may be more to come from this daring trio. Just one little hiccup, toward the end Jimmy is doing something to himself that I’m certain is not humanly possible, and he does this a couple of times. After going back and reading that sentence again I figured out that should have been Thomas.

Like I said… short, sexy and steamy!
