Opportunity knocks once in a lifetime... Harley Hayes is always looking for a new challenge to stretch his artistic vision. The subject of his first foray into nudes is a vision, indeed: Ryan Morgan. With each sitting, Harley finds it harder to ignore the fact he's falling head over heels for the straight-arrow model. Their first kiss confirms that Ryan feels the heat, too--for about five seconds. Then he pushes Harley away and bolts. Ryan is less than proud of some of the things he's done to survive his hand-to-mouth existence. Including model for a gay magazine--and accept money from his female clients in exchange for "extra favors". The memory of Harley's kiss still rattles the foundation of his sexuality even now, six months later. When they run into each other at a gallery opening, nothing has changed. The sparks flare brighter than ever, driving Harley to make an offer he desperately hopes Ryan won't refuse. And Ryan is just desperate enough to say yes... Warning: Contains scenes of m/m intimacy; hot sex on a kitchen table and a man with a body to die for.… (more)

This was my first book by Scarlet Blackwell and it shall not be my last. I enjoyed the writing style and found the plot moved along nicely. The premise was interesting and the MCs were well drawn and developed. I did feel that the issue of Ryan's attraction to Harley was resolved much too easily for a straight 30-something with some homophobic tendencies.

Oh...and I loved the cover! ( )

I liked this story, but I felt like Harley gave in to Ryan too easily. I know Ryan was wishy-washy on his feelings and being gay, and what he said to Harley after Harley allowed him to stay with him once Ryan was evicted was really rude and obnoxious. And then when Harley kept telling him no, but Ryan kept pushing... I almost wonder if he did all of that just so he'd have a place to stay rather than because of his feelings for Harley. I don't think Ryan had truly figured it all out then, and it just made him seem even more douchey. ( )

Ok read and rather short. The love story moves along like in typical, bad romance novels, where the guy falls in love with the girl, just because she is beautiful. Same here.
When the beautiful but simple one asks, what the other one loves about him, he simply resonds that there is a lot to love about him. That might be the case, but obviously he couldn't name even one thing (besides his beauty...).
The writing overall was not too bad, but I prefer it to read about the actual falling in love and getting to know each other and so on. ( )
