While I don’t get the relevance of the title, I enjoyed the story. Joe was a little hard to sympathize with at first, however I got to really like him. I did like Cal right away with his cocky attitude. Although I didn’t see the resolution to the mystery it was a plausible end.
I didn’t feel emotionally invested in the story but it was entertaining.

Okay but not great. Almost everything here felt underdeveloped to me - the characters, the romance, the suspense plot - but at the same time, I wasn't particularly interested in any of it. I think Cal and Joe could have been a lot more compelling if they'd had room to stretch out, but as it was I didn't see that the work had been done to convince me they'd change for each other and actually want to be in a relationship. The suspense plot ended strangely as well - couldn't really see how that would work in real life!

T.A Moore did it again with a thoroughly enjoyable novel.
Cal Tate is a man who is given a second chance after spending a year in jail. He is a driver with his brother’s company and is given the job to drive Joe Bailey for the month.
Joe Bailey is a young man from the States who comes to England to wrap business up for his father who is ill. He has the ulterior motive of trying to figure out what happened to his mother, whom people had told him died when he was younger.
Sparks explode when Joe and Cal meet for the first time and they cannot keep their hands off each other. But neither one believe that the other will want to keep them. Cal because he’s an screw up and thinks he’s one more notch on Joe’s belt. Joe because he doesn’t want to come out of the closet and create a stir
Between the sheets and in the car, Joe and Cal have to deal with their feelings as well as the stalker out to kill Joe.
Moore does a masterful job leading everyone around and dropping red herrings as we spend the book, trying to figure out the mystery of Joe’s mom, how Cal is connected as well as the stalker.
The writing style is fluid and leaves you hanging off every page. You want to see the two men connect despite everything in the way. It’s a roller coaster ride of mystery and emotions.

3.5 stars rounded up. This is the first book by T.A. Moore I've read and it was an enjoyable read. I didn't love the book, but I didn't feel it was a waste of time to have read either. I felt the characters fell into bed together pretty quickly and suddenly, but I did enjoy watching their relationship progress once things got started. I'm always a sucker for two MCs from complete opposite walks of life falling for each other.
I did also enjoy the suspense element of the story and while it wasn't shocking, it was well written and served the story well. I will definitely give more books by this author a read.
*I received an ARC of the story in exchange for an honest review

Tautly written thriller-ette. The plot itself is just a little too full of holes and coincidences to be totally convincing, but the "bad-boy-making-good meets billionaire" relationship was attractive. I do like Moore's writing, which always has an edge to it.
Edward smiled as though someone had drowned his dog and then told him to say cheese.
