Umm what was i thinking only giving this book 4.5 stars, im a little silly.
cole mccade served and he knows it. not only was the chemistry and the banter fire, this book is also very well written and both characters are so compelling.

What a beautifully written and delicate book this is.
It absolutely can be read as a stand alone. You don’t need the back story of Ash to fall in love with Victor.
Vic is the calm, controlled, business man but he needs some R and R and visits Ash’s masseuse Amani.
Amani is the mild mannered, meek, sultry and beguiling man who will become the cello teacher.
“He couldn’t be more than five foot three, five foot four, but he carried himself with the strength of giants and the elegance of royalty.”
Think you know where the story is going? Well nope! Flip it on it’s head and you are getting there.
There’s some blush inducing sex scenes and some super sweet love scenes.
Cole McCade’s descriptive prose wows me with every book.
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless it is faced.”
“And stars trailed in his wake, snaking over the floor in liquid rivers. That is how it looked at first glance, when underneath his coat he wore a belted caftan in a different style from his tunics, a wraparound robe in star-shimmer fabric like gossamer speckled in galaxies.”

Another beautiful, thoughtful work by Cole McCade
I reac the first Undue Arrogance book because of Cockygate and I was expecting something pretty average as I'd never read anything by Cole McCade before. I was definitely not expecting to fibd a new favourite author, one who puts so much care and thought into his work, who writes beautiful, complex stories that not only engage readers but also do a wonderful job of balancing story with politics and social activism.
This story is another impressive effort. I loved the characters and the delicate humour and all the little touches that make up the whole. I don't like going into story content in my reviews, it's nicer to just experience the whole. So do it, I promise you won't regret it.
If you only read one new author this year, read a story by Cole McCade.

As always with this author, well written. I loved both the characters, especially when they're joking with each other. There's some seriously hot embers stoking these pages too *fans self*. On the negative side, I was irked by how much Amani put Vic down for being born with money. I could get if he were an arrogant and absent-minded 'rich folk' who toyed with people and didn't appreciate them - but he started the book with a good heart, good intentions, and a love of charity. Repeatedly being told he was hated for being what he was, not who he was, and the money itself was unfortunately narrow. There is stick it to the man because he deserves it, not just stick to it the man in general. I also wasn't all for the hefty price tag attached to the initial play, I know it evolves and changes but it painted the relationship in shallow colors for the start. I did like that Amani was different than most leads with his heritage, race, and muslim background. Full review to come.
