Cat gives this book 3 Meows with a 2 purr heat index...

I love this title and the cover is sexy. 
The story starts out interesting and sets up both a slight mystery and the romantic connection. 
I liked Kasper and Mat’s banter and flirting that turns into a rapid first date. 
But then after Mat, being adamant about not being into hookups, they have sex on first date. I could overlook this, then one of them gets a bit wishy, washy. I guess things aren’t cheating since they aren’t monogamous at this point, but it just didn’t sit right with me. I just found this MC a bit shallow. 
Then towards the end things happen and I feel the same about the other MC.
Now, I’m not saying I don’t like either one of them, I just didn’t bond.
Now for the story. I mentioned mystery and intrigue and I really liked this part of the story. I think the plot drives this one more than the characters.
Also, the romance I liked. It just felt real, because it wasn’t perfect, and we saw the bumps along the way.
The sexual chemistry is there but I appreciate most of the sex was closed door. 
If you like rockstars, paramedics, mystery and suspense, plot driven stories, light sex with a very good HEA this is for you. 

Excerpt - Scene 1:


Kasper leaned close to Mat to be heard over the arena's thumping music. "How do you feel about having your picture on a tabloid site?"

Mat looked at him, confused. "Why?"

"Because I'm pretty sure we'll make at least one. Those cameras across the room aren't here to photograph the game."

Mat looked at the photographers, confusion hardening to something else before he turned back to Kasper. "I guess it's too late to do anything about it now."

"True, but does it bother you?"

"No."

Kasper smiled and kissed his cheek. "Good."

The fact that Mat hadn't let go of his hand proved he wasn't lying. He hoped it also proved something else but wasn't willing to make assumptions.

Kasper sat holding Mat's hand, where it rested on his thigh for most of the game. He couldn't tell whether it was true affection or Mat's refusal to back down in front of the paparazzi. He was amused by one option and hopeful about the other.

The game ended with the Lakers down by two points. Kasper led Mat through the tangle of fans, retracing their steps to the VIP entrance. The second he emerged from the building people started calling his name. Mat's grip on his hand tightened. Kasper squeezed back, ignoring them and joining the other celebrities in the designated pool of fame to wait for his turn at the valet stand.

"Does that happen a lot?" Mat asked, refusing to look at the people trying to get their attention.

"It depends. I think the thing with bottle and the car put me back on their radar."

"Lucky for you."

Kasper smirked.

"Maybe we should have snuck out early," Mat said.

"It wouldn't have mattered. People are usually staked out here the whole game."

Someone whistled and shouted Kasper's name, trying to startle him into a response. He ignored it.

"That doesn't bother you?" Mat asked.

"You get used to it."

"Would they stop yelling if you talked to them?"

"They might, but that's worse. An interview is powerful clickbait. I don't want to help line their pockets. Especially not when they'll misquote everything I say to fit whatever sham story they're writing. It's better to pretend I don't hear it." Kasper gave his hand another squeeze. "I'm sorry. It'll be over in a couple of minutes."

"It's okay, just strange."

"Welcome to my life."

Mat raised their hands to his mouth and kissed the back of Kasper's. Kasper couldn't hear the maddening click of cameras, but he imagined it, half the group thinking they'd just scored a thousand-dollar picture – or whatever the tabloids were paying.

Regardless of how long it lasted, as of that afternoon, their relationship was official.
