It took me a little while to get into it, but once I did I really enjoyed all the twists and turns, the kinky sex and the relationship between the two guys. There were several surprises, which I loved, and the ending left me with a smile on my face, and wanting to know what happened next. Well written, with an interesting plot and serious heat, The Long Con is the perfect read for gay erotic romance lovers.
