Book Review

I was really looking forward to Alex's story. Alex sees himself as bland, boring, someone people never notice and can't remember five minutes after having met him. That might be okay if you're doing secret government agent stuff, but Alex works with the crew from Rescue for Hire. Alex is their tracker and he can find anyone, anywhere. What he needs though, is for someone to see him and love him for who he is.

Tony is a member of their team and, unfortunately, his cousin Leo is a big-time celebrity chef. When Leo needs a place to come to destress, by order of his doctor, Tony agrees to let his cousin come and stay with him. Leo has quite the reputation and it's because he's spent so many years burning the candle at both ends that he's in serious risk of major health problems. There's more to Leo though than what the gossip rags report, and he's eager to show this side to Alex.

Alex doesn't just want someone who loves him and sees him. He also needs a dominant lover as Alex has quite the submissive personality. Leo fits the bill to a tee. Except Alex has a tough time believing this gorgeous man, the man of his dreams, would ever be satisfied with plain old Alex. I wanted to smack him several times for not having more confidence in himself, but I understood that his history with men had played a huge part in his thinking.

'Leo's Pet' turned out to be even better than I had hoped. It had some angst (some I didn't even see coming) and a very touching love story. Of course the sex was nothing to sneeze at either. A wonderful addition to the series that has me looking forward to more.
