This is another strong showing by Jason Luke. It is a light, fun read with lots of sex (well, porn sex), some humor and a little drama for good measure.  Rick Cassidy is a well known porn actor, director and producer who has been in the game for a long time.  Connie Wright is a writer for a magazine and is going to interview Rick for an article. When they first meet Connie displays some  seemingly uninformed theories and unfounded prejudices toward Rick and the porn industry generally.  During their time together, Connie starts to soften her attitude as she comes to know Rick as a man, apart from his profession.  For Rick, Connie seems to highlight for him, that having sex for a living has likely deprived him of true intimacy.I liked Rick, liked that he didn't take himself too seriously, he was down to earth, and I liked how he handled Connie's initial attitude toward him diplomatically.  I liked Connie after she lost the chip on her shoulder.  She was smart and funny and it was nice to see her match wits with Rick.Almost, but not all the sex in the book is derived from porn scenes, and they are pretty hot.  Some of it is girl on girl which for me personally is "bleck" so I found myself skimming some of those, but I did not factor that in my overall review because it's just my personal preference and honestly it's true, most female porn stars are bi, and g/g sex sells with guys.  Toward the end of the story, Connie asks Rick to help her with a personal crisis and he further reveals himself to be a stand up guy with a truly caring nature. He really is more than just sex on a stick.There were a couple editing things like veracious instead of voracious and an instance where Connie, who's a writer, says "me and her," that come to mind, but those did not factor into this review.  I would have liked it if we could have delved a little deeper into these characters, especially Connie as I really wanted to know more about her.  Overall I definitely recommend this and all of this author's work to other readers. His writing is always illuminating  and eloquent.  He has a knack for making you feel what his characters are experiencing.
