This book is fun, contains some good tension (from an extremely creepy stalker), and the two main characters are very hot together. From the very start, Callum isn't what Sin expects, and vice versa. Neither man really catches up with their mistaken assumptions until they're right in the middle of an increasingly hot affair and a case of a dangerous stalker who is after Callum. The protectiveness in Sin flares high enough to stifle anyone, but Callum's strategy is so ingenious, it makes the showdown between the two stubborn men almost fun. Almost!

Callum is a celebrity chef, extremely creative, and difficult to pin down; having a "schedule" that is the same every day, or even predictable at all, is abhorrent to him. I loved his personal kitchen where he experiments and tries new dishes, and the food descriptions in this book are wonderful. Callum is uncomplicated and says what he means, he is nobody's "boy". Having Sin decide to be in charge of his security is not something he enjoys!

Sin is an ex-mercenary who now runs his own security business. He's never been protective of his lovers, and is constantly surprised at all the things Callum teaches him to like: kissing, snuggling, staying over for breakfast the next morning. Mind you, with the kind of food Callum "whips up", anyone with any taste would want to stay. But, I digress. Sin has a lot of learning to do. His interpersonal skills are challenged to the max, as is the way he sees the world and his own future. It was fun to see the physically stronger man be the one to follow the "weaker" one's lead for once.

If you like stories about unusual partnerships and don't mind some insta-love, if you enjoy reading about an ex-mercenary trying to find a space in civilian life and adapting to new things because he wants happiness in his life, and if you're looking for a very hot read that has lots of moments to make you laugh, you will most probably like this book.
