Let's be honest. P. D. Singer is just a heluva good writer.This book about two men, Jon and Ricky, working together in a hedge fund. Jon is independently wealthy and relatively conservative in his investing (shrewd, actually) and Ricky is a player who has no interest in love or commitment and is just as cavalier about the investment risks he takes.The book is about how the two of them resolve the vast chasm between what they want and are willing to commit to, with a few interesting side stories thrown in to stir the pot.I couldn't put the book down. It's beautifully written, with not an excess word, a perfect length to develop deep characterizations, flawlessly researched, and edited to the fine polish of a big national bestseller. It was such a pleasure to read this book without the distractions of M/M Romance formulas, the typical overabundance of repetitive sex scenes (the ones in the book are steamy, but not very graphic), typos or the host of other editing mishaps so common to this genre."The Rare Event" is nothing but a great read, paced beautifully, with engaging characters and a moving happly-ever-after.I must read more of this author's books. You should, too.
