by
Kate Steele

After betrayal at the hands of a former lover, even a guy as sweet as Scott Whittaker seems dangerous, but he can't deny the attraction. While Dean struggles against his own fears, Scott wages a tempting campaign of seduction. As the walls come down, Dean and Scott discover a love greater th...more

I really liked this story and look forward to reading more from this author. Dean and Scott were great, three-dimensional characters, and the story was well-written with a lot of details that enriched the plot. That said, the stalker element of the story is pretty predictable, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book. I sometimes forgot all about there even being a stalker - I was that engrossed in Dean and Scott's growing relationship.

I’ll admit, the cover for this book drew me in. When I read the synopsis, I knew it was one I wanted to read and review. Who can resist a celibate veterinarian or a lonely horse breeder? Not me, that’s for sure!
Dean Conlon is the new veterinarian in town; he’s proving himself to be very competent and well liked. He spends the majority of his time working and caring for his patients. Having been betrayed by his only long term lover and cut out of...more

A Sure-Fire Cure started out very well. I really liked the understated characterization of Dean as we learn bit by bit that he’s been hurt pretty badly in the past.
When Scott comes blazing on the scene, he’s a necessary force to push Dean out of his self-enforced exile. They work together and I enjoyed how well matched they were and, most especially, how very manly they were. Their relationship builds slowly and that seemed very natural and very needed for this couple.

Short srory tentang dokter hewan yg gay .... standard sih,ini cerita homo-homo an yg lumayan ada ceritanya..males bikin review karena terlalu short, merayakan tahun baru bersama, made love sambil minum2..standard lah.....
With his stomach clenching in anticipation at the commanding growl in Scott’s voice, Dean complied until he lay on his stomach. He felt the heat of Scott’s breath waft over his ass as his cheeks were parted. Soft lips and a wet tongue caressed the firm swells of his buttocks, wh...more

Vet Dean Conlon has been building a wall around his heart after a painful betrayal he suffered 8 years ago. Until Scott Whittaker came in front of his door, asking for help for his mare, and everything changes. It's a contemporary romance with a touch of suspense. I enjoy the two characters very much. I like reading how Dean's wall slowly crumbles with the intense attraction he feels for Scott. I really, really on the verge of my patience waiting for the "I love you" to be declared *grin*.

More like a 3.5, but I like to round things off toward the positive. This started off promising, then hung around sexually for most part of the book, then the sub plots that made it interesting, came (no pun intended) and the suspense/thriller were resolve so quickly that it lost its appeal towards the end.
There was some relationship building between the two MC's, but it was predictable.

Nice story, I enjoyed it. That being said I think I would have enjoyed it more without the "stalker" part of the storyline, I figured it out pretty early and didn't think it added anything to the story, and I would have liked to see more of the development of the relationship between Dean and Scott, there was a lot of sex, which is great, but I wanted to see more of why they loved each other. But, it was a good story and I did like it.
Brain candy: straight forward storyline, with likeable characters that doesn't make you work too hard. If you are in need of that type of story, this will work for you, the MCs are good together.

Maybe even a 4.5. I really enjoyed it. I even teared up at one point - a very sweet part. Great ending too.

I skipped and skimmed a lot. Lots of passive voice made it slow going.
I really enjoyed this book. The building relationship between Dean and Scott is lovely to be a part of. They have some issues to overcome, but in the end it all works out.
Maybe it all worked out a little too smoothly and quite fast to be honest, but because of the way it was presented it wasn't really an problem. Things don't just get pushed aside and ignored, magically solved, but they also don't get stressed and 'angsted' over forever either. And as an additional bonus; the sex scenes are hot...more

This book was a standard romantic sex story, with mystery-lite on the side. I guess I was expecting more of a mystery romance, with some sex here and there. It seems like more than half the book was sex. Considering this, there were a lot of side-plots that don't really go anywhere and several sorta-resolved romantic misunderstandings.
Wow, loved these guys!
LOVE THE CHARACTERS!
4.5 stars I freaking loved it!!
A Sure-Fire Cure is lite on the angst, heavy on romance, plenty of hot man-on-man sex, and full of funny dialog. All coming together to make a wonderful book. I love the characters, they're nicely developed and easy to like, particularly Scott. It's easy to see why Dean falls in love with him. Who wouldn't?
I give A Sure-Fire Cure four stars.
I thought the story started off good and I was kinda looking forward to it having a little bit of a mystery thrown in, although I thought more would have been done with the father. The stalker really didn't add much to the story and the mystery wasn't what I hoped for, but, I liked both the characters and they had a nice romantic/sex story.
4.5 stars. This was a cool book.

DNF-twice. I'm not going to rate this because this author's style just wasn't for me. It's too overly dramatic/over-done for my taste.
