4.5 out of 5 stars***This book was provided free in exchange for an honest review, through the Goodreads "Don't Buy My Love" program***OMG, I loved this book!  When I think back on it, there were so many reasons I shouldn't have, things I usually complain about, but somehow it all worked together.Tony is a private investigator who has been hired by the parents of a woman who was found dead in her home.  The case was ruled suicide by the coroner, but the parents don't believe it, and Tony's contact with the police isn't sold either.  The cop advises Tony to start his investigation with Dr. Michael Halloran, a sex therapist whom the woman started seeing a few months before she died.Michael was a trauma surgeon who served multiple tours in Iraq, and his last deployment ended with an IED explosion that left him with severe nerve damage in his right arm (his dominant hand) and significant PTSD.  No longer able to be a surgeon, he is recruited by a friend to the field of sex therapy.  Now, I think that is quite a stretch, but this was one of those things that Ms. Easton just made work.  And work well!Tony makes an appointment with Dr. Halloran hoping to learn more about the murdered woman.  He has to come up with some excuse for the appointment, so he lies and says he is a sex addict.  But Michael sees right through that bluff, calls him on it, and Tony is surprised into revealing that he does, indeed, have a sexual hangup.  He has what he dubs "picky dick syndrome".  He has only been attracted to 4 men in his life, but as he talks about it in the initial meeting with Michael, his dick finds one more man it likes. . .When the plot is laid out like that, it sounds kinda ridiculous.  Like maybe it should be somber and serious, because it is, after all, about murder, loss, sexual dysfunction, PTSD, etc.  And there is insta love on both the MCs parts.  I should have hated this.  I can't even say why it worked, but I loved it!  Couldn't put the book down!  It read as a comedy as much as anything else and the dialogue was so clever and witty I was laughing out loud.  First favorite quote:"I'm Italian, I'm male, and I'm under 50.  I wouldn't go to a doctor unless my eyeball was hanging out so far I could floss with it"And it just kept going.  And then, the sex was amazingly hot -- massage in stirrups?  Suddenly I, like Tony, find I might have a bit of a medical kink, never saw that coming!  You gotta read it to believe it.Thanks, Ms. Easton, for this truly entertaining read!  I am off to buy the sequel now, and this one is going on my favorites to reread shelf!
