Reviewed on Hearts On Fire... http://heartsonfirereviews.com/

Travis is working two jobs just to pay his rent and keep his car on the road now that his father has cut him off. He's bussing a table when he sees a business card from a company looking for male models. Travis calls the number and before you know it he is Craig Rocke doing gay porn for pay. Marston Cougar is a well known porn star working to pay for heart operations for his niece. Travis is nervous about bottoming but Marston helps him out by telling him to remember that it's all make- believe. A college student and a college professor in real life and a porn couple in fantasy films but the lines are beginning to blur.
I thoroughly enjoyed this well written romance between Gary and Travis. I question just how straight Travis was because he took those ten inches without much more than a quiver. I don't care for the term "gay for you", love just comes along and not always in the person that you'd expect. Ms Dalton did a great job developing both Travis and Gary and I couldn't help but like them both. I also liked that the porn industry was not painted as something dirty. Both men needed money and having sex on camera was a fast way to make it. The sex was hot and while some of the story was cliche, most gay romance stories have some cliche as it's what keeps us coming back for more. When both men discover that the make-believe is real, everything changes on film and off but we aren't given the hearts and flowers. We are given a heartfelt love that comes through to the reader. The HEA ending just blew me away with its simple romance. This was not a heavy read but it is one that you'll enjoy all the way. ( )

Nothing to it - just cute and sweet. Great light reading :D ( )

Yes, it was unrealistic...and cliched, and surprisingly less porny than I would expect in a plot revolving around the porn industry, but I couldn't stop reading because I really wanted to believe! ( )

In a way, I wanted to give this five stars not four and a half, because I really, really enjoyed it. But in the end I just couldn't rate it up there with some of the amazing m/m stories I have read recently.

What this story is though is a very interesting, engaging, straight guy meets porn star and is quickly deciding he may be gay after all. It's mostly fun and lighthearted, with some serious angst just before the final HEA, which felt very rewarding. The love scenes are not "skimmable" in my opinion as they help to develop the relationship and were hot besides.

It's a thoroughly enjoyable read to slip in between some of the darker, more angst driven titles. I think you will be feeling happy when you've finished it! I know I'm smiling. :-) ( )
