Synopsis:
Does love have a cost?
Brian Silver is CEO of the world’s largest coffee house chain in the world, Silver Coffee. Growing up in a wealthy family, Silver had it all: money, fame, and any man he wanted, but that was never enough. Silver wants more. After a tragic health event that leaves him vulnerable in life, he realizes that business will not bring him the happiness he needs, and he’ll do anything to find that happiness.
Greyson Black is a coffee house barista in one of the Silver Coffee chains in downtown Manhattan. Greyson is finishing school and determined to find the best path for his life. When Brian Silver makes a "surprise" stop at the franchise, he’s more than intrigued by the young, gorgeous Greyson. Silver knows there’s only one thing that he must have now, and he will do whatever it takes to get him.
When Silver and Greyson get together, sparks fly. Silver is perfect in Greyson’s eyes, but is love blind? A mysterious stranger is out for Greyson, and the mind games have just begun. Greyson starts to question everything, including Silver’s advances. When Danger is lurking around every corner, no one is safe. Greyson will have to determine if love is worth the danger and excitement.
Can attraction be fatal, or will attraction be the saving grace Greyson needs? Will Silver’s secrets ruin them or will someone else have the first shot?
Love is blinding, but suspicion is the real killer

My Thoughts:
“I’ve not found anyone that I thought was worth my time, let alone the passion I have to offer – that is until you.”
On Goodreads, Ms. May does make a note that this is not like Fifty Shades of Gray series, however I did feel influences from that series as well as Crossfire series. Not that I am saying that is a bad thing, it was interesting to see that dynamic in a M/M relationship. (They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery – just saying….)
I enjoyed the overall story, but I felt at times Ms. May did too much telling and not enough showing. I did not need to know everything that was going through Greyson’s mind. (Thank goodness his inner god did not come out – I would have had to stop reading immediately!)
At times the storyline seemed to stall and not move forward at the pace it could have, and this could be related the “show, don’t tell” issue I discussed earlier. The pacing and storyline did get better at the pivotal moment in the story; unfortunately this was 80% into the story.
It appears that this is going to be a series, and since I am a sucker for office romances, I am hooked and will probably read the next book in the series.
If you a looking for a M/M romance with a push/pull relationship between the two men – then this story is for you.
