First off, I received my copy of this book for free from the author in exchange for an honest review via the "Don't Buy My Love" event hosted by the M/M Romance Group on Goodreads.A different kind of billionaire story involving two men who are clueless about their own feelings for each other until it's almost too late.Liam is Sebastian's personal assistant. Sebastian is the CEO of an app development company, who will be starring on a dating show for gay men.For me, the characters felt a little two-dimensional. I don't know why I just wasn't able to connect with them.For most of the story Liam outright denies his attraction to his boss up until it becomes a possibility that he will lose him to an unknown man. Sebastian muddles the whole affair by confusing himself, his potential dates, and his assistant with his somewhat awkward gestures of affection.Problems abound from bugs in the app code to one of the dates instigating drama.I didn't have a character that I particularly favored, largely because I just didn't connect with any of them.I enjoyed the book for being a quick read. I also enjoyed it for the novelty of it. I haven't read Fifty Shades and nor do I intend to, but I've read a decent number of stories inspired by the trilogy and found them all to be a little…cliché. This was unique and for that, I award an extra star to my rating.My favorite part of the book was actually when one of the contestants admits his feelings for another contestant. (Now that I think about it, he actually was my favorite character after all [again with the supporting character being a favorite! @_@].)
