About this listen
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.

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.

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

sweet story

All and all Dianna crafted another story that fkows really well and made me really enjoy both characters more and more as the story continues.
I especially appreciate how Pete 'owns' his OCD, but does not make it the centre of his live.
And I am glad Cam came into his own, coming free from his birth family, with the help of Pete and maybe more his family. 5*
Can't wait to see who will be the next person to get a book.
The narrator is new to me, but suits me as a listener really well to this story. 5*
Overall 5*
They really grew on me.
