Recommendation
This debut has so much! So much emotion, so much connection, and so many hot bedroom scenes with filthy French whispers! Watching Masa guide Theo to a fulfilled life was heartwarming! I was drawn effortlessly into the story and I wanted to celebrate with every step that Theo took to become his true self.
Excerpts
If your plan was to seduce me using my native tongue, it would have worked marvelously. You know, had you chosen the right language
I love you, Masa. I really do. I don't want to follow you. I want to be right there next to you.
And I had too many flash fires that I just let them burn
Publisher synopsis
No names. No repeats. No feelings.
With a lucrative corporate career and model good looks, Theo Rey is the image of perfection—but it’s all a mask.
After a devastating loss shatters his world, Theo turns to casual sex to distract himself and numb his pain. For the first time in his life, he’s acting on his attraction to men with a slew of messy one-night stands.
What was supposed to be another meaningless encounter at a bar turned into a night Theo can’t forget, with a man who sees him as more than the broken mess he believes himself to be.
Masamune Kuroki is everything Theo is not: carefree, happy, and proud of who he is. Theo is drawn to his disarming magnetism but doesn’t feel he deserves the happiness Masamune could bring.
Fighting for control, Theo tries to not get swept up in Masamune's pace—but maybe a change of pace is exactly what he needs.
