Review by PhloxKieran Quinn, a Texas native living in Manhattan, works as a columnist for a national magazine. He’s famous for his snarky, sardonic columns, but deep down he’s more interested in what makes people tick than his editor would like. He keeps his desire to find his own Mr. Right hidden under a sexy, carefree persona that favors champagne and underwear models of the male variety.
Jaxon Lang is the handsome, confident high school principal in a tiny Texas town, where he relocated from Dallas to pursue his relationship with a woman he thinks is his future bride, despite the fact that she has already left three other grooms at the altar.
When Kieran goes to Texas to cover the latest wedding of this real-life “runaway bride,” he falls hard for the gorgeous-and straight-groom. But Kieran’s charm and unique attitudes about sex and attraction soon challenge Jaxon’s concept of what – and who – he wants. Will anything change when Kieran discovers the bride’s shocking secret?
I loved the premise of this story, the overconfident writer of snarky magazine articles has to leave his comfort zone, physically and emotionally, to realize maybe his writing has done some harm. The reader almost wants something bad to happen to Kieran, not something on the level of plane-going-down dreadful, but something to wake him up out of his self-absorption. When he meets Jaxon, whom he has planned to deride in his next column, and has to pick his jaw up off the floor, we know in no uncertain terms that the wake-up call has arrived.
This is an engaging, entertaining story, full of characters with enough quirks and surprises to keep the reader glued to the page.

There are enough errors in the text that one had the feeling of a story that might have been rushed through the line editing.
All that aside, I did enjoy Kieran as a character and his awakening as a person. Once he starts seeing Jaxon as a person and not an opportunity for ridicule, he does take a hard look at himself and what he has been doing for a living. His earnest desire to rescue Jaxon from a one-sided relationship with a manipulative woman is endearing, especially because he goes into his investigation believing he can never have Jax (to all appearances as straight as an arrow) for himself. Jaxon, though we don’t get to see through his eyes until fairly late in the story, is a real keeper, a man of integrity, intelligence, and honor who isn’t afraid to keep an open mind. One does question how he was so easily duped by Danetta and why he never had any inkling before that he might be attracted to males, but it’s forgivable since he seems to have spent most of his time wrapped up in his work.
Not your typical boy-meets-boy story, the characters will quickly grow on you and the ending is ultimately satisfying. Readers will have to discover all the details for themselves, though, and it’s well worth the read.
