Brendan has always had a safety net.  A young lawyer, he's recently moved to Providence, RI, to open branch of his dad's firm, and he's glad to be relatively on his own and out from under the direct supervision of his father.  But a visit to a restaurant shakes up his nice secure life.He spots a busboy that he thinks is the most gorgeous person he's ever seen.  Brendan has figured he was heterosexual aside from some slight experimentation in college.  He doesn't know why, but he's just under the spell of this person who he doesn't even know...So, a Gay-for-you relationship, but that's not the focus.  There's some suspense and the possibility of Brendan getting involved in something even more dangerous than taking a chance on a stranger.  Often, having a relationship based on a physical attraction can seem unsatisfying--not with the hot sex, but with the non-sexual parts of the relationship (if there even IS such a thing in some romances).  No problem here.  Brendan is attracted, but not just with his little brain, as that didn't come into play until a bit later when it was telling him he might actually be gay.The characters are not anything way out of the ordinary, but were still very memorable and sympathetic.  And they really seemed to have chemistry (sexual and other), despite all the things popping up to mess with them.  The plot was a good mix of the relationship building and the suspenseful bits.  Secondary characters weren't prominently featured, but were all important and well-drawn considering their brief appearances.  It all added to a whole that was way bigger and better than I expected.
