Description
Eric is a popular beauty blogger, and hopes to use the momentum of that to start his own business selling makeup for men—but his first attempt to launch makes it painfully clear he has a lot to learn and a long way to go.
Unexpected help comes in the form of Devon: Gorgeous, successful, and far too smooth. He is everything Eric would like to be, all the things Eric is starting to fear he'll never achieve, and the success that Eric is striving for in both his professional and personal life is jeopardized by Devon's inability to understand that business and pleasure shouldn't mix, because they can have disastrous results for both.

Heather K, Reviewer
It is going to be very hard for me to write a review for this book. I liked it. It felt polished and well researched but it was also a touch dull. These "pleasant" books are the hardest books for me to rate and review but I'll give it a go, folks!
This book centers around Eric, a beauty blogger trying to create and launch a men's makeup and skincare line. He meets a beautiful, wealthy man in Vegas at a beauty convention and they hit it off, though the timing isn't right for them to become involved with each other. Yadda, yadda, yadda... sometime later they start dating and have to navigate both their wealth disparity and the stress of Eric's growing business.
I liked the character of Eric. Androgynous, gorgeous, and not afraid to rock the femme, he was someone interesting to get to know. I wish he was less defensive and more easygoing at times, but that is just my personal taste. I think that Eric had really nice chemistry with Devon. They made a good pair and I enjoyed seeing them figure out the dynamics of their relationship.
My main criticism of this book is the pacing. It dragged at times and felt sort of aimless. The plot of Eric finding and funding his beauty business was interesting in theory but less so in execution. I wanted a bit more of something. And though this book has a few sex scenes, the heat just wasn't there for me like I wanted it to be.
I think if you are interested in fashion and beauty or like stories with femme guys, you should give this one a try. It is an easy read and, overall, I enjoyed it.
