I suppose this would be called a contemporary m/m romance with a light BDSM theme.
Adam is a stripper that meets Jimmy as a client at Jimmy's birthday party. From that night on it is a constant battle to stay true to each other (Adam is "out" while Jimmy wants a discreet romance).

I found Jimmy more real than Adam because the latter came across overdone by an author obviously trying to portray the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold. Except that Adam isn't a whore. This isn't quite how I felt despite Adam's virtuous qualities, though. These felt unrealistic and contradictory. It was hard to believe a man in his early 20s who's stripping for the next meal, sleeping in his car, who can't afford to go to the hospital when he's injured, who fucks his latest customer when he delivers

Another delicious Kim Gardner book. I swear that woman owns me. Her characters, their passion, struggles, and smexin captivate me. I think I might propose What I loved most about the book was Jimmy's raw vulnerability and Adam's resilient spirit. Fantastic read.

I've had this book on my eBookshelf for almost a year and for one reason or another, I never got around to starting it. I'd read an excerpt which I loved and made me add the book to my "to read" list but never got around to actually reading it until this week.

Young friendly gay guy, talented but poor, meets older closeted gay man, wealthy and gentle. Is another Cinderfella's story? Not quite, since our two heroes will not leave happily ever after when the clock strikes the midnight, they need to suffer a bit before.
Adam is a classical dancer that at 22 years old, after a knee injury, had to give up his dreams and lives "between" homes in his car. He sometime works as stripper and one night he is engaged for a birthday party. Bu More...

3.5 stars
I'd have easily said it is at least a 4 star book for me if the ending didn't feel too fast... Also I didn't like that they decided they loved each other a bit too easy (and I never really understood why.... they both had pretty good options besides the other).

This was a wonderfully told story, I was hooked from the start. The story was beautifully woven around the lives of Jimmy and Adam, these two were meant for each other and were very hot between the sheets but that only made the story richer, it wasn't the focus of the book.

The book was very much to my liking, and some details really won me over. The reason it got four stars is that it lacked emotions and that connection between the two heroes at the parts where i think it was needed most. But overall it really is one of the better ones out there.

It wasn't a terrible book, just average. I think I got hung up on their convoluted relationship. I didn't really trust it or buy that they were in love. I wouldn't mind trying another one by this author.

I read this awhile back and I didn't write a review right away. I didn't know how to say what I needed to. I didn't know how to express why this didn't sit well with me. It's hard because Kimberly's writing style is exquisite. The details she puts into her work is remarkable. The problem for me at least is I feel as though the characters are too flawed. Like a tea kettle that’s hit the tiled, kitchen floor and you tried to put back together. However it’s maybe too broken for you to really get a

Very good m/m romance about a deeply closeted guy who falls for a stripper who doesn't want to be anybody's dirty little secret ever again.

This book was soo good, I loved the relationship between the guys and the Angst wasn't too long either.
I rarely review books but this one was too good not to say something.

This was an OK book then it crashed 3/4s of the way through. The use of <spoiler> then they parted ways because coming out, which was already DONE, negatively affected one of the MCs. Then MC got a new BF, and the other one pined away until their friends set them up to get back together, bla, bla, bla. </spoiler>
Not to mention, if a client of his computer firm, had issues with him being gay then it would stand to reason that they would have issues with him owing a strip More...

I enjoyed the first 3/4 pretty well...then it lost me. I can't say too much without spoilers, but I just felt like a huge disconnect occured between those parts of the story.
