My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dorian Kang has a little extra time on his hands now that work has finally slowed, and being that he’s the most charismatic man in Pearl City, all he has to do is pick from the line of men waiting to be his next one-night stand. But even though he doesn’t do repeats, Dorian finds himself inexplicably drawn to Ira Knox, the famous sculptor who suddenly seems to always be around. Ira Knox hasn’t been able to get Dorian out of his head since their drunken hookup months ago, so when they run into each other again he thinks this might be the perfect chance to finally purge the sexy COO from his mind. The best way to get over someone is by getting under them again, right? Maybe not. But Ira’s going to give it a try anyway. When Ira’s ex and his cousin invite him to their wedding, Dorian agrees to attend as his plus one. Even though it’s an intimate affair, the two agree from the beginning to keep things casual between them. Only, Dorian can’t stand to see Ira hurting, and Ira might be realizing the reasons he’s always had for rejecting the concept of a relationship aren’t very good ones. Can the two of them figure out what they really want before it’s too late, or will their arrangement to casually date ruin things before they can even begin?

This was a sweet story of two men who were unable to stay away from each other. Lots of emotions and feelings around the wedding of Ira's ex as well as the relationship between the two men. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As the CEO and founder of one of the world’s top makeup companies, Baton Blue Cosmetics, Kieran Kingsley has enough on his plate to worry about without having to take an arranged marriage into consideration. When he finds out his parents have plotted with another prominent family to get him hitched, he immediately seeks a way to call the whole thing off before word gets out. What he isn’t expecting is for Theodore Hudson to be so attractive. Theodore Hudson is a popular artist who’s spent years trying to build a life for himself separate from his family and their wealth. When his mother tells him he’s been matched with Kieran, he’s certain it’s part of a ploy to ruin his latest gallery showing and get him to return home. He has every intention of telling Kieran off when they meet, yet something about the other man makes it difficult to look away. The two of them soon realize the best way out of this is to pretend to give their families exactly what they want, with a predetermined timeline and an end goal in sight. They can both walk away from this with everything they need. But what happens when the thing they both start to need the most, is one another?

I enjoyed this story of the arranged marriage which brought the two men together in an unconventional way. I was glad that they both learnt more about each other and that gave them the time to appreciate the skills and knowledge of the other person. Lots of feelings and emotions in this story as they came to terms with their situation and understand each other. I loved Lucky who was such a feisty old lady. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
