    About this audiobook

    Sometimes things look one way, but when you scratch the surface, there's more than meets the eye.

    Jeremiah Wolfe has always done what was necessary to survive. When a rare night off finds him with the chance to make a quick buck, he jumps on it. A meaningless one-night stand is simple and easy, so he steps into the hotel room-as he has many-without expectation. But the man behind the door is a surprise, as is the instant connection that builds along with passion and a glimpse of his heart.

    Cameron Gallagher has never been accused of being spontaneous. He's always been the careful one, so inviting a stranger into his bed on the lure of his gorgeous smile and warm brown eyes isn't only out of his comfort zone, it's entirely out of character. Surprisingly, when he wakes in the morning alone, it's not regret he feels, but the need to find the man who held him in his arms all night.

    When they're brought back together, each man believes it's more than luck. They feel as though they've gotten a second chance. Sure, love at first sight is just a myth, the stuff of romance novels, but the more they scratch the surface, the more they realize they've got a shot at something lasting.

      How quickly their relationship progresses seems rather like a lesbian love story to me. Tho the context is quite ok, I actually prefer the secondary plots. The conversations between the main characters are awkward at times.
