Bentley Dean, III was born into a wealthy yet, humble family. It is apparent that his father is adamant about how he envisioned his two children's lives to fall into place, and held the family fortune over each of their heads as the motivation. In the beginning of the story, Bentley delivers heartbreaking news to both his fiancé, and his father, that he wouldn't be marrying, as he was deeply in love with his gay lover, Warren. After being practically disowned by his father and cast out of the family, Bentley, III finds it hard to survive through a recession that threatens to take his co-owned modeling agency under. He finds himself making the deal with the "devil" after a suspiciously shady business man enters his office; and offers a too-good-to-be-true business proposition that is sure to save Bentley's sinking ship. The sacrifice would be using male models as potential male escorts for a private gay "party". Bentley, III finds himself in a whirlwind of sex, violence, and drama after his close friend and agency model, Jah, becomes entangled in a life of being a "kept man". Jah's lover is the powerful force behind the discreet, gay "party" of potential male model lovers. Jah loses sight of his own life and personal goals; all in the name of what he thinks is love. What he doesn't know is that his gay lover, who is a happily married, family man in the public eye, is willing to protect his reputation by any means necessary. Harris' latest release was slightly discouraging compared to his previous works. Although his words and dramatically expressed scenes intrigue readers, the storyline took more than half of the book to get on a good pace. The book wasn't well written and, it is my hope, that there will be a sequel since the ending leaves readers wanting to know what happens next. My rating: 3 stars Reviewed by: Kenya Mack
