My rating: 4 of 5 stars
On a Friday night out James finds his best friend's young executive assistant blind drunk and slumped over a table in the corner of a bar and so feels that he needs to rescue him. Yes, he can give him all the help he needs to become the man he wants to be but not himself as he does not do commitment. Perry has always fantasised about James who is a sexy silver fox but he can only be his Knight in Shining Armour in his fantasies as he knows that he lives his life free of ties and commitment.
I enjoyed this story which was a slow burn with lots of angst. In the end, it was a sweet story with James determined to treat Perry right by not touching him even taking him in as a lodger when he couldn't find anywhere acceptable to live nearby to doing what he could to support his dreams for a new career. I loved that he was able to convince himself that he was doing "the right thing" when really he wasn't. When he cracked he still fooled himself that he was incapable of long-term commitment until it became apparent that he had to because he was unable to live without Perry. I did find one thing that I did find impossible - James' job would mean that Perry would need a security clearance in order to live with him let alone anything else otherwise James would lose his own. Easy to read, feel and understand it does have a HEA you just have to keep reading until it happens. This is an MM romance with some mature content with a little light bondage.
