Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 7/10PROS:- This is one of the most convincing "Gay for You" stories I've ever read. Culpepper does a great job of establishing sexual tension, especially when Jeremy is a bit lost as to why he's feeling this way about another man.- The guys' attraction to each other, as well as their ensuing confusion, is realistic and endearing. On several occasions, I had an "aw...poor guy!" reaction to something mildly embarrassing that one of the guys does or says.- I love it when there are likeable straight male characters in m/m stories. Rafe's best friend is totally cool with Rafe being gay.CONS:- The book gets off to a slow start. I was a quarter of the way in before I found myself more than passably interested.- The romance and the mystery could have been woven together much better. There were times when I became engrossed in the romance to the point where I basically forgot about the mystery because there's no mention of it for several chapters.- The mystery plotline is pretty straightforward and doesn't have a lot of actual mystery to it. I lost interest in the investigation early on in the story.Overall comments: There's nothing unusual about this story, and the mystery plotline might as well not even be there; it serves merely to bring the men together. I liked the romance quite a bit, though, and the sex scenes are non-graphic but still erotic.
