Review: Fun, light, erotic romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

3.5 stars.  The story of the sexual predator who fails for an unattainable love is not uncommon in modern romance, and lends itself well to gay fiction, with the explicit tension between gay and straight desire. I was especially amused by the main character's unrepentant modus operandi, offering fixer services to professional athletes in return for sexual favors, but only if the mark was secretly willing, as if curing them of their sexual repression was a form of self-interested public service. The sex was hot, and the complex dance of partners was interesting and not overly gratuitous. The conflicts in this book are both internal and external, and relate to the main character's tangled relationship between love and sex. The resolution of these conflicts was at times pedestrian, sometimes unexpected, often carried a hint of poetic justice, and was generally free of angst or violence.
