I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.This read is exactly what the blurb says. A cat and mouse chase. Kenon is a very wealthy artist who has his pick of projects. Wally is a bartender struggling to pay off his student loans and housing expenses. While working a show for Kenon, Wally is approached by the artist and asked to meat him after the show. Kenon is so sure of himself he is shocked when Wally leaves without hooking up. From there on the chase is on.Not wanting to tell the whole story here, there is a lot of flirting, then things heat up, then get put on hold, then more flirting, heat up and more put on hold. Kenon thinks he scared Wally off by coming on to strong. Wally doesn't think he belongs in Kenon's world. Kenon comes up with a plan to hire Wally as a party planner (???) to keep him around while luring him to his bed. All the while Wally makes it plain that he wants to be in his bed. Then there is a missunderstanding caused by the antagonist in the story.Somewhere in Kenon's past there is an ex that used him and then publicly humiliated him. Just how is never said but it is why the missunderstanding comes so easily. I didn't really see love as much as just hooking up. I thought the best dialogue was between Kenon and his best friend Bos, and when Wally was writing his erotica putting his fantasies of Kenon to paper. I didn't like Kenon until the last chapter when I thought the characters were actually becoming more than just the quick hook up. Since this is the first in a series I guess I can understand the quick end, but I think the relationship could have been developed a lot more before the "I love you's".The relationship between Kenon and the antagonist is never explained either.alot of negative stuff going on there and why doesn't Kenon just get rid of the guy. He really doesn't need his moneyI gave this a 3 star rating because things just didn't mesh for me but there were some parts that I thought were written really well.
