Appearances are Everything
Matt is a former US Navy SEAL, turned successful CEO of a cyber-security company that he started with the help of his best friend, Finn. Every hour of every day is regimented as tightly as his carefully crafted façade. He has a girlfriend, a sweet condo in the North End of Boston, and a growing emptiness he continues to ignore.
Ollie is a grad student at Oxford and when he’s not studying, he divides his time between playing football and hanging out with his mates. When he meets Finn, an American getting her PhD in ancient languages, Ollie has no idea just how life-changing their friendship will become.
Finn introduces Ollie to Matt one summer night at a pub near campus and both men are leveled. Ollie takes one look at the broody, dark-haired god, with the deep, gravelly voice and is smitten. While Matt, so busy building his empire from inside his closet, is wholly unprepared for the effect Ollie (with his golden hair and beautiful smile) has on him.
It becomes a dance of cat and mouse, intensifying each time Matt comes to stay with Finn so he can stare at Ollie.
Their first kiss is the stuff dreams are made of, because their love is destined by the gods.
Reviews
“Great Summer Read. I loved this book! The writer writes in an easy to read style and has full understanding of her characters. This is a great beach read (in the best possible sense of the term), with a plot that moves at a good clip with no slow sections. This is M/M romance with enough twists to keep you interested.”
