Cameron Fairway has a secret.
Before he shares it with the world, he's determined to build the confidence he wants to live life as a gay man and the experience hell need to snag Mr. Right. For that, he requires a mentor--someone experienced. Someone with manners. Someone discreet enough to be able to mix business with pleasure under the watchful eye of his fathers empire--a gentleman. Pete Carver is without a doubt that man.
Pete Carver has a problem.
Pete doesn't mix business with pleasure because there is no pleasure in business. There's only order and discipline if you want to succeed. When the boss youngest son approaches him with a proposition that rattles every one of his sensibilities, Pete is determined to get to the bottom of the ploy. Because that's all it can possibly be--why else would the ruthless John Fairways son proposition a straight man in his father's company? The apple can't fall far from the tree.
* This story contains the following elements: slow burn, hurt/comfort, awakening, homophobic/racist parent, familial emotional abuse, obsessive compulsive disorder

Story - 4 stars. I've never not loved the works by this author, but for the first part of this book, I struggled a bit - I just found it hard somehow to feel the MCs. The second part more than made up for it. The strong wish for both MCs to help each other shone. I appreciate reading about someone with OCD as I didn't know much about it. It's definitely worth reading.
very enjoyable

Pete, who has a few issues of his own, decides on a career that has nothing to do with the family business.
Cam, who is a standout in his family and not for in their opinions a good character trait, just wanted to be an artist. Yet, he is forced to join the family business.
Both come from opposite types of families. Pete is lucky enough to come from a family who is loving and accepting. Cam is unlucky to come from a family who seems to be unaccepting and doesn’t appear to know what love is.
Pete is straight or at least he believes he is when Cam presents him with a dilemma that makes him reexamine himself. Cam knows he is gay he just doesn’t know how to be gay.
I laughed so hard at the toy section of this story. Had tears so many times and was mad at the same time. I love this story. I wish it were part of a series that revisited these characters.
The narration by Joshua Macrae was perfect for these characters.

sweet story

This is the misunderstanding trope — not usually my favourite — but it was done perfectly here, and hysterically. Watching a character fall into a lie completely by accident and then desperately try to make it true was both incredibly funny and surprisingly touching.
There’s a lot more to it than just the humour, though. It can be genuinely hard-hitting at times, and that contrast worked beautifully.
The narrator was new to me and was superb, bringing both characters to life brilliantly.

The beginning was a bit difficult because of the narration. But after you learn more about Pete, the narration was spot on with his clipped, controlled way of speaking. You could feel the straight jacket Pete has on his whole being. This is quite different from what I am used to. So it took me a while to understand the narrator's choice of narration - but once I understood the character, I was all on board. In addition, his voice changes as the character evolves to be more soothing and calm. It is quite extraordinary of the narrator!
As for Cameron, the narrator had an easier job, with a light airy voice. He did a great job overall 🔊🎧
I loved that the characters are so different, yet so similar when it comes to being together. And Cameron is an absolute sweetheart! You couldn't help but love him with his angst and puppyness🥰
Overall a great and funny book.
