1) It can be tough to do a simple romance, without a second genre, without angst and pain, with guys who are just ordinary, appealing, interesting characters. Lane Hayes has succeeded admirably with Zeke, a driven Wall Street exec who still battles the need to prove himself to the memories of a time when his father could not approve of a gay son, and Benny, whose hard won optimism and style are the antidotes for Zeke's cold life.

2) A sweet, funny, quirky, story of Opposites Attract. Deftly told, well-paced, and sexy in all the right places. An absolute delight.
