I have my very own rating system that may seem a little out there to some of you but basically the number of stars I give a book really depends on how much I invested in it and the characters. I'm no purist when it comes to reviewing. I think of the way a book makes me feel, the emotions it invokes, the gut wrench in my stomach when something bad happens and the tingle in my nether regions when I'm reading really hot and exiting sex. I look at how the story pulls together, whether it makes sense and is believable and whether it simply ENTERTAINS me which, after all, is the reason I read.And this book tickled all my fancies. I love the story of Blake Davis, closeted publishing executive, who really wants his father's acceptance of the incredible job he's done in driving his company to the top. I adore the adorable Will Parkinson (hmm, where have I heard that name before?) , so warm, sexy and down to earth who worms his way into Blake's heart and into his company. The two together simply ignite the pages and the use of the sexy toys just made me all warm and fuzzy inside....I love a hot sex scene. I know there's criticism out there about how often it happens in M/M books but I still think if they are well written and adapt to circumstances, then there's nothing wrong with that at all...it depends on the writer really and KC is a true master.I actually cried in parts of this book,when Blake is given a certain ultimatum by a very nasty female individual and shuts Will out. My heart broke at this point and I so felt bad for Will. He deserved so much more, as his capacity to love is immense. And the party scene -OMG, hot, dirty and tender at the same time, with both men believing wrongly in the idea they needed to please each other but not in the right way. I loved the way Blake reacted and made his peace with Will.So, great plot, incredibly three dimensional characters, I loved the setting- a publishing company as this is so close to my heart, I loved the references to the book industry and writing as a whole, and actually thought there was a lot of reality invested in the book, based on personal experiences of writing and creating and baring one's soul with ink.Well done to K C Wells for a marvellously entertaining story and some loveable, likeable characters.
