When love wars with principle, which one will win?
Mark Nugent has spent his life in the closet--at least, the small portion of it he hasn't spent in the office. Determined to make amends to his neglected teenage daughter from a failed marriage, Mark swears off work--and love--so he can give her a stable home environment. But Mark's resolve to keep his heart under wraps is tested when he meets an out and proud young man he's instantly drawn to.
Patrick Owen is a charity worker with strong principles. He doesn't trust easily, but he's blown away by his attraction for the older man who's so new to his own sexuality. Yet Mark is adamant he's not coming out to his daughter--and Patrick refuses to live a lie.
What with Mark's old-fashioned attitudes and his flirtatious ex-colleague who's determined to come between them, Patrick begins to wonder if they'll ever be on the same page. And when Mark's career as a tax advisor clashes with Patrick's social conscience, sparks really start to fly--in all the wrong ways.

Cat gives this one 4 Stars...
"lighthearted and fun"
I am going to admit I stared at this in my library for a while not so eager after listening to Played. But I was down to my last couple books, the reviews all looked good and I will admit I was hoping for Patrick's story. Now I am very glad I gave it a go. I loved all of the characters. The story is fast-paced, fun and hilarious. There is a couple of subplots that are intriguing, the romance is sweet. and who doesn't love a precocious matchmaking teenager?
I love British stories and Mark Stedman as the coolest accent. He gave the story wit, charm and personality and I absolutely adored David with his swishiness and lisp. ( I hope he is getting a story soon. I will be eager for it.)
