K.c. Well's book, Making It Personal, asks the question, what if someone you've met in other circumstances comes into your life as a different person? Or worse, what if someone you want to hire in your business turns out to be the love of your life?Ms Wells loves to write stories about difficult conditions that actually happen but are hushed up and not spoken of because of someone's shame or embarrassment. By fictionalizing these accounts she is able to speak powerfully to address something that may have been swept under the carpet too many times.Will Parkinson (one of the MCs in this story, not the real-world best-selling author) has debts to pay. He takes a job as a rent boy and is hired by Blake, who is a lonely publisher of gay romance books. Blake is a gay man but in the closet so when his father urges him to date social-climbing women, the pressure is on. Blake also needs a personal assistant at work and who should show up for an interview but the very hot man he hired to take care of his sexual needs. Oh, my.The story has ups and downs as Blake and Will dance around the issue of friends to lovers as well as whether Will, an out gay man, can maintain a relationship with a closeted gay man. Blake is also being blackmailed by an unscrupulous woman who wants to marry Blake for his money. The ending of the story is one of vengeance exacted with humor at the expense of the villain of the piece. You can't help feeling very satisfied at the way things work out.I loved this book. The sex is hot enough to melt window glass, the MCs are people to care about, the plot flows smoothly with a fun twist, and sometimes people are not what they seem. Making it Personal is a great summer read.Becky's complete review appears at mrsconditreadsbooks.com/index.php/?p=12738
