'A Fool for You' is Cat Grant's third installment in her wonderfully fun 'Icon Men' series. These books revolve around a gay bar, Icon, her owners, Cameron and Mike, and their respective partners, Trevor and Ryan. In the previous book, which was Mike and Ryan's story, Cameron and Mike took a huge chance and expanded Icon into a full time drag queen bar and cabaret. This edition picks up five years after that and features Brian, Trevor's son.Brian and his band members, Kit and Stewart, are sharing a one-room apartment in Brooklyn while starting their musical career. Brian is a music prodigy who has taught himself how to play multiple instruments and he and Kit have written all of the songs for their band. Much to Brian's embarrassment, however, he can't read or write music, he's never learned how. It about broke my heart when Brian discovered Kit, his first and only love, was cheating on him with their new, smarmy agent, and that Kit had written down all of their songs and only given himself composing rights. Ugh. What a sleaze ball!Brian ends up having to contact his dad and he hasn't spoken to Trevor in two years. Let's just say that Brian still has issues with his parents divorcing and his father falling in love with a male prostitute. It doesn't matter that Cameron is no longer in that lifestyle, Brian is a typical young man who is hurting and hiding it all underneath sarcasm and anger. Oh joy. Brian met Chase at a club that they both performed in and when Brian's life took a dive, it seemed only natural to hang out. At least Chase understood the music thing, which was more than Brian's dad did. What starts as friendship and great sex segues into feelings neither of them expected. When some of Chase's past comes back to haunt him, it's time for him to be honest with Brian and let the chips fall where they may.This was a very sweet love story. It was refreshing to watch Brian gain maturity and a deeper understanding of what being an adult really means and how difficult it can be. Chase was adorable and the two of them together were very sexy. I definitely enjoyed this and thank you, Cat, for bringing me such fun characters.NOTE: This book was provided by Ellora's Cave for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
