Mix one carefree man with one closeted man and his daughter. What have you got? A really great read!I know when I read a K.A. Mitchell book, I'm in for a white hot read. This book lives up to her reputation for sizzling sex and depth of emotion in her characters. I felt like I was right there with the characters and going through the trials and triumphs next to them.I breezed through this book quickly, but don't think it's a light-hearted read. It's got its comical moments, but it's also got tender moments. There were many times when I rooted for the characters to get their heart's desires.Ryan lives a structured but carefree life. He's got his issues and his problems, but he's ordered. I loved when he's in the club - he wasn't about to have a random hook-up. And yet, he does. It's his willingness, even when he's not sure of it, to step out of his comfort space that I liked. There's a very touching moment when he struggles with what he wants from Jeff. I loved that scene, even though it broke my heart.Jeff is hard to understand. He's got a lot going on and a lot to hide. But it's believable. He can't lose his daughter, but he can't seem to let go of Ryan. That sort of conundrum is a good one to have in some ways. Ryan's a hunky catch. Anna, Jeff's daughter, adds a cute and heartwarming touch. She's smitten with Ryan and totally in favor of her daddy being happy. If only all people could be that understanding...If you want a story that's hot and has a sizzling scene in a Camaro (my vehicular weapon of choice), then you need to read Custom Ride. I give this story 4 cherries.Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews
