FINALLY The judge takes center stage :) It's Michelin’s book and I couldn’t stop jumping up and down I was so excited! I’ve been anticipating this story for awhile now and it delivered for the most part! This is a great slow burn.

Michelin is a gifted rising star who appreciates the simple things and for the most part lives a low key life… since he’s a closeted country singer. While out celebrating with friends ( read book 2 to get the full story), he meets Lucky, a stunning go-go dancer in WeHo.

Lucky is adorable! He’s a go-getter, comfortable in his own skin and true to himself. His independent streak is a personal characteristic I relate to deeply. I love how he takes charge pushing all of Michelin’s buttons in the most delicious ways, determined to show him how much better life can be if they both put in the effort.

I don’t want to give the story away but something happens which sets in motion the need for the "fake boyfriend trope" to come into play . Will Lucky’s luck finally change?



The story on a whole is good but there is one thing I took issue with. I hated how wishy washy Michelin was. He couldn’t make up his mind if he wanted to be “out” I could understand not wanting to be the “face”after all that is a lot of pressure for anyone, however, the cat’s out of the bag so why put it back in or even consider it when you now have the opportunity to live an authentic life. This struggle of his made me actually not like Michelin as much as I did in other books. Anyway, despite Michelin’s back and forth about being out, I liked the story and I can finally breath that sigh of contentment to have read it.
