Review: Good but kind of a teaser for the rest of the series

Julian is having a pretty good day, at least until he finds his boyfriend down on his knees for someone else. So, he does what most other people would do: he has a drink or four and decides to try and get on with his evening. Even that plan is busted, however, when his cheating (now) Ex tracks him down and acts like nothing is wrong...and then blames Julian...and then tries to brush the whole thing off like Julian should be grateful that the cheating bastard came back to him. I seriously wanted to smack a bitch. No lie.Enter Ryan Dean: famous ex model turned tv show host who is obviously so much hotter than the irritating Ex. Julian and Ryan have worked together before and, finding out what happened, Ryan decides he'll be Julian's extra for the night. Things take off from there as Ryan spends the evening trying to convince Julian that he wants to get to know him better. Personally I liked how Ryan went about it; he wasn't absurdly overbearing and he really, honestly liked Julian. The relationship heats up fairly quickly but I really didn't mind the pacing, especially since Ryan let Julian set the pace so he'd be comfortable.The 'surprise' in the book doesn't happen until you're about 3/4 of the way done and it really just gave us an introduction for the rest of the series. Compared to the following books, this one was more relationship focused and the reality of the situation took a back burner. If you enjoy Mary Calmes or paranormal books, you'll probably like the series; just keep in mind that this first book is more like a teaser for the rest. Still a good read though!
