Book one in the Farmingdale Gentleman's Club Series "Two men, too many secrets, and even more situations trying to keep them apart. Can love really conquer all?" A meeting brought on by seeming coincidence throws Marcus and Tanner together. After becoming friends, certain truths are revealed, leading to feelings of betrayal as well as a degree of danger. Tanner has more secrets than one man ever should, not the least of which is that he's an operative for a gray-ops organisation that's something of a family business. Sharing even that much information could kill more than just his friendship with Marcus. When one misstep on Tanner's part plants possible danger in Marcus' lap, he does what he needs to do. Marcus doesn't know that Tanner is after the man Marcus used to date, but he for damned sure finds out, and that's just the start of things. When a computer disc and men with guns come into play, Marcus has some decisions to make. Like whether he can forgive Tanner for making him love a lie... and how far Marcus is willing to go to secure his own happiness.… (more)

I didn't know what to expect when I read the author's warnings after the blurb. The pedophilia and rape turned out to be all in the past and were mentioned as part of an investigation and only in the broadest sense. The FGC is quite the set up and can tackle much of what the FBI, CIA and other letter named groups cannot. I liked Marcus and Tanner immensely and they made a great couple. Patty was a wonderful assistant director and was a strong, tough female lead character. The story is all action with a good dose of angst. Plot twists and turns kept the story moving right until the end. Highly recommended. (

Not knowing exactly what to expect from this book might have left me with a bit of a disadvantage. I'm not sure, but I found this book a bit confusing. There was very little explanation of what the whole Gentleman's Club was all about, and some of the terms used were very WTF in the beginning.

Don't get me wrong, I really did enjoy it. The characters and writing were interesting and definitely caught my attention. But... it seemed chaotic, I think is the best way to describe it. There was so much going on, too much to be honest. There were a lot of twists and turns, which did keep the story interesting, but it was also a case of falling from one thing into another.

There was also an issue, that I still have an issue with being just swept under the carpet. This left a bit of a nasty taste in my mind that I couldn't rid myself off. I found that a little unrealistic, but maybe that's just me lol.

I do however want to read the next one in the series. Hopefully I'll enjoy that one a little more. (
