When Killian's best friend tells him of an all male brothel, catering to men and women, he first decides it's not for him. Finally giving in, Killian decides to give it a shot.After being kick out of his dad's house for being gay, Declan is homeless man and looking for any sort of work when he learns about The Chicken Ranch.When I first met Declan, I was so worried about him. The poor man hadn't eaten in a while, and he's turning to a brothel for work. In many ways, this story could have ended badly for him. I was drawn into his character from page one.I think Killian was a perfect match for the young virgin. He was sweet and caring from the start. As much as I enjoyed this book, I kept waiting for some big explosive scene. I mean, there was a misunderstanding of sorts, but everything seemed to be smoothed over rather quickly. My only other complaint...there wasn't much background about the brothel. It was like it magically appeared. I feel like I missed something on this accept.The sex scenes are very well written! This isn't my first Amanda Young story, so I was really looking forward to the connection between the characters in the sheets. SO not a let down there!I give this book 3 Stars. I think it is well written and the series has great potential. It just missed that spark for me. I'm really looking forward to reading book two.
