 ~Excerpt~
From the corner of his eye, he noted the sheets on the king-sized bed had been turned down and a strip of condoms lay on the nightstand next to a bottle of lube.

Suddenly, the illicit nature of the whole evening hit him. Sweat broke out on his skin. Shit, why had he bothered to shower? He took a quick whiff of his pits. Thank God, his deodorant was still on the job.

Where was this guy? What if he turned out to be old? Who hired this kinda service anyway? And who used an alias as lame as John Smith?

Suck it up! You can do this. He may have been a gangly nerd in high school but he’d taken up karate, per Blake’s suggestion—dammit! Stop thinking about professional baseball players you’ll never stand a chance with. This is about going after what you want!

The bathroom door opened, and he smoothed his shirtfront, trying to be presentable.

A man walked out, towel-drying his hair.

Jason sucked in a sharp breath, and his dick stood up and took notice of the big, athletic body, fresh from the shower. Tanned and muscular. Water streaked furrows into his perfect layer of chest hair. A skimpy towel hung from narrow hips, a solid thigh peeking out from the side, but his face remained hidden.

#holycrap #hotness

“Sorry, I kept you waiting,” the man said, slow and seductive. “I figured, why waste time getting dressed.”

Then he dropped both towels in a practiced maneuver, standing there in all his naked glory. Jason’s gaze traveled from his feet, up those long legs, past a thick cock and over a perfectly chiseled abdomen.

When their eyes met, the man’s sly grin faded in an instant. He gasped, hazel eyes wide.

Jason let out a gasp of his own. “Blake!”

Sarah's Review: 

Thanks to Decadent Publishing and Deanna Wadsworth for giving me the chance to read and review this story.  I am not normally a big reader of m/m stories, but something about it this story caught my attention and I wanted to read it.  I was not disappointed at all.  

Jason and Blake caught my attention from the beginning.  I felt for Jason in the beginning because my high school time was torture.  I was bullied but didn't face the bullying hat Jason did.  I respected Blake from the beginning because he was willing to stand up for Jason.  

I laughed at the hashtags that appeared through the book.  It fit the story perfectly.  I thought the way they were reunited was really perfect for the two of them. When they got to the 1NS portion of their night, I was glad that they finally realized that they were actually meant to meet back up.  That Madame Eve has a way with getting timelines to mesh perfectly!  

Even though I am not a huge reader of m/m stories, this story is one that I would recommend.
