I had to wait and "digest" this book awhile before I could leave a review. I was disappointed with this book, after seeing a great review about it on another website. Maybe that raised my expectations too high... *ponders* No, there were definite things I really didn't like about this book.
It starts off well. I was intrigued by Jaxon's and Liam's first meeting and the sparks that flew between them. I loved how the author chronicled Jaxon's angst after he returned to the US by informing us of the time that had lapsed since he had last seen Liam. I loved the parts that occurred between them when Jaxon first got back to Australia, tentatively reaching out to Liam. Here's this famous actor, humble and apologetic, wanting to be Liam's friend. I enjoyed their weekend adventures, watching that friendship grow.
However, what I couldn't stand was Jaxon repeatedly talking to his penis. Okay, I'll give you that some men name their penises, but after the 25th time Jaxon actually had a conversation with "Buddy" I was ready to pull out my hair. After the umpteenth time, I became inured to it and went into a fugue state. By the time that Jaxon names Liam's penis - OMG, no! - I was skimming through the book.
And why was I skimming? Because the book no longer tried to have a plot other than constant sex scenes between them. I'm all for a hot sex scene - many of these were that - but constant and continuous ones just became redundant to me.
