I have always referred to Cardeno C.'s books as comfort food for the brain.  That continues to apply.  I read 3,4 or 5 books a week, mostly in the M/M erotic romance genre, and there are few authors who completely enchant me the way CC does.  This book, like most of his books, is a true romance with very hot sexual scenes after he has slowly built up to the point where both principal characters have realized that they are attracted to each other.  In this case one of the principals, Jeremy Jameson (JJ) is a very popular and successful rock singer who has won numerous platinum albums and is often on world tours.  JJ is from a family of successful actresses and singers but despite that, JJ is very high strung and in a mental turmoil from all the adulation and the paparazzi constantly on his trail.  He spends a night on his own at a rundown bar in a nothing town in Arizona where he is befriended by the beautiful, bright and calm bartender, Reg Moore.  JJ having gotten too drunk to drive spends the night at Reg's home and throws out the idea that Reg accompany him on a 7 month tour which is imminent as his "pretend boyfriend" even though he considers himself to be straight and Reg is gay and out. Reg who has always wanted to travel around the world but did not have the means to do so, agrees to this arrangement.What follows is a delightful story of slow seduction by Reg who recognizes that JJ is really gay and simply has never had the time to recognize it in his own mind.  This book has no real angst for which I am grateful having read a great deal of angsty books in this genre.  It is a fascinating look behind the scenes of a rock concert tour accompanied by a wonderful love story. It will capture you from the first page and never let you go until it is finished.  Don't deny yourself this superb comfort food for the mind;  buy it, read it and be prepared to thoroughly enjoy it.
