This was and is perfection. Nothing draws me more into a book than the dialogue. The dialogue in this story was hilarious. Witty banter after sarcastic quips. It was incredibly written.The characters were superb. Particularly the main character Mackenzie Williams. He was a sarcastic ball of snarky witticisms and hilarious euphemisms. His inner dialogue was damn hysterical. Now don't be fooled into thinking Mac wasn't a serious character because he was. He used his wit, humor, and sarcasm as a wall over his heart. You see he's a bit damaged. His mother left his family when he was 14 and his dad never really recovered. Throw in a younger brother that did everything Mac did but better. Throw in a father who didn't fully accept his son's sexuality but loved him just the same. Throw in the fact that his ex stole his dog and uses him as leverage over Mac.Throw in some guilt and insecurities he has over past relationships.Throw in some of his own personal hang ups and you can understand why Mac is for lack of a better word f---ed up.During a surveillance assignment with his business partner Drew, Mac meets the oh so delicious Jordan Channing. Jordan looks like "a walking GQ wet dream"  and his charming personality can melt the panties and in this case the boxers of any person. During this serendipitous meeting , Mac is drawn to Jordan not just because of his aforementioned good looks but because Jordan has a bit of a suspicion regarding his fiance Rachel. Jordan hires Mac and Drew , mainly Mac to shadow his fiance and find out if she's in fact seeing someone on the side. During Mac's surveillance of Rachel, he and Jordan get close. Closer than you think appropriate between an investigator and his client. Their encounters are quite amusing, hot , and explosive. The problem with their growing attraction is that --- you guessed it Jordan's having a bit of an identity crisis. Is he gay? Is he bi? Does he want to break things up with the beautiful Rachel? Does he want a relationship with Mac? Does he want to change his life completely for someone he virtually knows nothing about?It is a gay for you story. I generally tend to not like those stories as much but i damned well loved this one. I love Drew, Nick , and Peyton. (Mac's friends) . Even Asher. (Mac's benny --friend's with benefits) . I want to punch Trevor. Come out , come out wherever you are. Which is the closet , Trevor. Everyone knows you're gay. Stop hurting that woman and grow the f--- up.Nick was a great addition to the story. I loved Robert and Casey (Mac's younger brother and nephew) . The scene where they were playing video games had me laughing pretty much cackling out loud. I'm also glad Finn was reunited with Mac.I wonder if this will be a series or if it's just a stand alone book. I'd like to read more about Asher and Drew. Not so much Trevor. He can f--- off.I cannot reiterate how brilliant this book is. I've never heard of S.E. Harmon but i am damn glad i did now. It's already one of my favorite books and Jordan and Mac have become one of my favorite couples.The lines in this story are laugh out loud funny. I high - lighted 3/4 of the book. It was hilarious.One of my favorite lines was when Jordan and Mac were being intimate and Mac asked himself if he was twerking. Writing it about right now and I'm laughing hard. When you get to that part you'll understand."Maybe she's a ho?""Aren't you supposed to be neutral?""That's Switzerland , darling. This is America , and we take sides."
