Well, just another wonderful book from P. D. Singer. An excellent writer, she will never be confused with Hemingway or Shakespeare, but neither of them wrote for the M/M Romance genre, did they?And, in fact, her writing is nearly perfect for that. She balances more components than other writers do: a limited number of relatively hot sex scenes, a lot about relationships, deep and charming characters, a fast-driving plot and, most unusually, an incredible amount of expertise in whatever theme underlies the book, whether it be hedge funds or the pro cycling tour.There are just no hiccups. I read, start to finish, with pleasure and expectation. And I'm never disappointed.I'll let others deal with the plot - it's pretty simple: neophyte cycling reporter meets and falls for up-and-coming top-of-the-heap young Italian cyclist. Their tribulations revolve around loss (for each of them) and the constant threat to Luca's career if he steps out of the closet. In the end, he doesn't come out publicly, but he's out enough, and their relationship will  inevitably be known as the couple shares a home in both Boulder, Colorado and Italy.If you're looking for a great read, somewhat sexy, engaging and filled with skin-tight spandex, don't miss this book!
