Grey’s Awakening by Cameron Dane

Description: Greyson Cole needs to get out of Raleigh. Everywhere he turns, he sees people falling in love, getting married and starting families. It’s enough to make a grown man want to rip out his own hair. And for a cynic like Grey, one more employee getting engaged signals the need for a long overdue vacation. Grey owns a cabin in the mountains he has never even used, and he figures that’s just the ticket out of this nightmare of happily paired-up couples.

Grey doesn’t expect to be greeted by a belligerent, half-naked man the minute he opens his cabin door.

Sirus Wilder has known Grey’s twin sister for years, and she has given him permission to stay in the cabin while his residence across the lake is under repair. Sirus has never met Greyson Cole before, but he is thankful when the man lets him share the cabin for a few days. There is plenty enough room for them each to keep to themselves. Sirus has had his heart broken and isn’t interested in a hook-up, let alone something more.

Even so, Grey is, hands-down, one of the sexiest men Sirus has ever seen. Too bad he’s an arrogant ass and his eyes are so damn cold. Every once in a while, though, Sirus thinks he sees a hint of fiery passion in the controlled man sleeping one room away.

For Grey, one look at the roughly handsome Sirus puts Grey’s celibacy pact in serious jeopardy. One problem: Grey doesn’t believe in love, has even less patience for relationships, and he refuses to get mixed up in another messy romantic partnership that can only end badly.

Two weeks. Two hard men. Both running like hell from love.

Look out. Something’s gotta give.

Warnings:  This story contains male/male acts of sex and loving.

My Review: I’m someone that will read anything, regardless of genre or heat level. If it’s a story that catches my interest, then I will certainly give it a go. This is one of those books that I picked up on a whim and am very pleased that I did. The romance, and sex, between the two men is believable and I felt for both characters by the end of the book, something I am always looking for when it comes to reading romance. I want to care for the characters – and since I read romance – see them find their HEA, regardless of if they’re male or female. Love is meant for everyone, after all.

I fell very easily into the pattern of the writer’s words, something that is sometimes very hard to achieve when you read as much as I do. There is very little that I found negative about this book and look forward to seeking out more of the author’s other works. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of m/m romance or looking for something a little different to read that falls outside the “norm” (since this is m/m).

This review is based on a copy I purchased myself.
