Readers can call Reed's books a lot of thing, but boring isn't one of them. Chaser was an off-beat, almost light-hearted look at a chubby guy and his Adonis-like lover while Raining Men delved into the messy personal life of a sex addict. Now Reed again changes his tone to one that's nearly camp as he looks at the problems online dating causes two men looking for real love.

Twenty-nine-year-old Brandon is looking for the "one," the guy he can spend the rest of his life with. Brandon likes to go running as much as possible in Seattle and is admittedly a romantic at heart. He's been saving himself for the right one. He works at a law firm writing ad copy as well as working on their website and blog. He might not be Mr. Excitement, but he's definitely Mr. Steady.

Tyler, on the other hand, loves sex for sex's sake. True, at heart he's a romantic and waiting to hook up with Mr. Right and settle down. But in the meantime, he isn't averse to getting laid. He owns a condo with his single sister Hannah and puts up with her crazy-zany friend Marilyn. Unlike Brandon, Tyler works from home, so spends a lot of time in bars trolling for romance.

One night in a fit of too much alcohol, Hannah and Marilyn decide to go eye-candy shopping on an online gay dating site. The only problem is that in order to see any of the nice guys on this particular non-raunchy site (as opposed to the sites featuring photos of genitals), they need an account name and password. When they figure out that Tyler doesn't have an account at the site, they decide to make him one.

And off the story goes straining credulity to its hinges. But Reed's tone will keep readers turning pages to find out where this potential train-wreck goes.
