Jeremy Linden’s a PhD student researching an HIV vaccine. He’s always short of money, and when biotech startup PharmaTek reduces funding for his fellowship, he’s tempted to take a job at a men’s dining club as a serving boy. The uniforms are skimpy, and he’s expected to remove an item of clothing after each course. He can handle that, but he soon discovers there’s more on the menu here than fine cuisine. How far will he go to pay his tuition, and will money get in the way when he realizes he’s interested in more from one of his gentlemen?

Brice Martin is an attorney for a Silicon Valley venture capital firm. When he’s asked to take a client to the infamous Dinner Club, he finds himself unexpectedly turned on by the atmosphere and especially by his server, Remy. He senses there’s more to the sexy young man than meets the eye. The paradox fascinates him, and he can’t get enough of Remy.

Their relationship quickly extends beyond the club and sex. But the trust and affection they’ve worked to achieve may crumble when Jeremy discovers Brice’s VC firm is the one that pulled the plug on PharmaTek—and Jeremy’s research grant.

3.5/5 stars... "." Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yeah, I would. There are a few glitches with the story and narration, but overall, it was an enjoyable listen. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? I would have explored certain aspects of Jeremy and Brice's relationship more thoroughly. Which character – as performed by Zen Wolfang – was your favorite? Brice. Perhaps because Jeremy was sort of written and read as a teenager in a way. Lot's of missunderstandings, jumping to the wrong conclusion and angst with him. Brice is older and more secure. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but it took a couple of days. Any additional comments? As I states above, this was an enjoyable read. My main issues were the angst in an adult book, I really don't like to have to hunt down my characters emotions. The way Jeremy changed his mind from one second to the next a lot, jumped to so many conclusions, angst. He's a PHd working on amazing stuff, but he's written like a teenager. I did like this whole Dirty Dining aspect with the dinner club and the boys are the important items on the menu. Color coding the gentleman's identity, very ingenious and I quite liked it. Especially at the end with the whole, Officer and a Gentleman reference. Narration was pretty good as well, I liked the different tones and inflections he used for the characters. My only issue with the narrator was, listening you know you're jumping forward, changing POV or chapter, but he didn't put any space between these things. A short few second pause would have been nice, I felt at times like he was running a marathon.

EM Lynley writes gay erotic romance. She loves books where the hero gets the guy and the loving is 11 on a scale of 10. Her Precious Gems series is best described as “Indiana Jones meets Romancing the Stone”—only gayer. The Delectable series is Gay Romance with Taste.

A Rainbow Award winner and EPPIE finalist, EM has worked in high finance, high tech, and in the wine industry, though she'd rather be writing hot, romantic man-on-man action. She spent 10 years as an economist and financial analyst, including a year as a White House Staff Economist, but only because all the intern positions were filled. Tired of boring herself and others with dry business reports and articles, her creative muse is back and naughtier than ever. She has lived and worked in London, Tokyo and Washington, D.C., but the San Francisco Bay Area is home for now.

She is the author of Sex, Lies & Wedding Bells, the Precious Gems series from Dreamspinner Press, and the Rewriting History series starring a sexy jewel thief, among others. Her books are available in print and e-book from Amazon & other book distributors.
