Review: I liked Josh and Ryan more than the story
Rating: 4 out of 5

It was more a 3.5 stars but once I finished the book, I found that I was quite fond of the guys, in different ways, so I'll give it 4.I liked Ryan because, even if he knew he was risking his career, he was not willing to search for a compromise. I liked Josh because he was very practical and he found the way to get Ryan and himself out of trouble, showing that he might not be rich, but he was resourceful.The secondary characters were interesting and I liked Ryan's friend, Bill, who is the voice of reason in a very stressful situation. The bad guy behind the tabloid pictures was given a strong homophobic connotation and I thought it was unbelievable that Ryan accepted all the name calling without reacting.The angst was never too much, even in the most difficult moments, because the two characters trusted each other. I think that the chemistry between Josh and Ryan was more told than shown and that's why I wasn't really impressed while reading the book.
