Kevin is walking down the street minding his own business when he is stopped by a handsome, and obviously gay, man, Justin, who claims he has fallen in love with Kevin on sight. After Justin is dragged off by his friend, shouting out instructions as to where to find him, Kevin returns to his office where his fellow colleagues are annoyed with their controlling boss. The team have several great project ideas which have been squashed by the boss and in his frustration Kevin has a plan to get to the top men with his ideas. He has an invite to a local club which is frequented by the men in charge of the company. The only trouble is the club is a gay club and Kevin is straight. Kevin approaches Justin and asks him to accompany him to the club as a sort of gay 'beard' for Kevin. Justin agrees and the two men set about getting to know each other and in the meantime exchange a few kisses which leads to Kevin wondering whether he is completely straight after all, especially when one of the company bosses, Victor starts showing an interest in Justin.

One of the things I liked about this novella was that it took me a little by surprise in the characterisation. I've been so used to reading Jet Mykles' GFY books with the aggressive gay character who pursues the straight man who then starts having bewildering 'gay' feelings for his aggressor, that this very different type of GFY story took me aback rather. For one thing the character of Justin is very unlike the uber-cool characters in the Heaven Sent books. He has the same flamboyance in his taste in clothing but also has that same flamboyance in his character. He waves his hands about a lot when he speaks, he flutters his eyes, he flirts, he even squeals. Basically he's a bit of a drama queen. Normally this type of character doesn't really appeal to me, but I felt he was masculine enough to counterbalance some of the ostentation in his character. Justin is also not particularly aggressive in his pursuit of Kevin. He's very flirtatious and often pushes the boundaries of their friendship with that, but he never aggressively comes onto Kevin. In fact it is Kevin who is the aggressor. Once he comes to the realisation that he lusts after Justin and therefore must be at least bisexual, he is the pursuer and the one who has jealous feelings when he sees that Victor is interested in Justin. Because Justin is so much larger than life, Kevin does fade a little in comparison. He spends most of the book worrying about whether he is gay, how Justin feels about him and how unworthy he is, which did become a little tiresome after a while. Fortunately we get the thoughts of both Kevin and Justin which gave me a little relief from Kevin's insecurity. I also really liked the character of Victor and felt there was enough of a teaser with his past to perhaps hint that his story may be coming along at some point. I hope so.

Overall, this was a great story with a slight twist on the characterisation I've come to expect from Jet Mykles. The GFY plot was familiar but well plotted and executed. The story zips along nicely without being too demanding on the emotions but still packs an emotional punch that pleased the romantic in me. It also helped the pacing that the setting flits about a lot so that the book never really felt static and the fairly large number of characters added to the busy feel of the story. In fact, if I have a criticism of the book it was that we are introduced to several characters, such as Kevin's immediate boss and work colleagues who then disappear completely from the book (making me wonder what they all felt about Kevin now having an 'in' with the big bosses). On the whole Just for You is one of the better recent releases from Jet Mykles.
