It's unfortunate that Moon uses the term "starfish" in the title of this book as there is a lot of pirate sex, i.e., Surrrrrrrenderrrr the booty! Arrrghhh!, taking place because this is a hot and tasty dude-on-dude love story. But perhaps I'm the only one thinking that rectums = starfish because I am a perv, and I blame my parents, society, and Jacques Cousteau.The "starfish" in the aforementioned title are actually delish donuts served by Alex in his little diner on Mirabella Island, and they look nothing like rectums (Rectum? Damn near killed him! I have no idea where that came from). He is reunited with Matt, the poor little STRAIGHT rich boy who captured his heart many summers ago. Most of the story is told in a flashback to their young-adult past. Alex is not really "out," and Matt doesn't even realize he likes boys, but they share a crazy, sexy chemistry together so they decide to touch each other's peens, and it's gooooood, man.They like it so much, they become the Honorary Rump Rangers of Mirabella Island, and in my dreams, I am the secretary of the club. It doesn't pay well, but the side benefits (because we all know the main dish ain't as good without something on the side) are AMAAAAAZING.So, of course, you know this is a doomed--DOOMED, I TELL YA--romance because there's a bitchy, homophobic, evil mom--think Donald Trump with boobs and better hair--who tries to break them up and pretty much succeeds. However, because love and man-milk trump all, Alex and Matt get their HEA as adults.Moon knows how to bring the angst as well as the hot starfish love, so grab your favorite to-go coffee mug (and, heck, grab your favorite body part while you're at it) 'cuz you don't want to miss out on this one.
