Camouflage

Luke has a small ranch in Stillwell Oklahoma, a small town that has no chance for him to find a boyfriend, so he tries online. He has been chatting online with Nash from Atlanta and Nash decides to spend a week with Luke.

Luke is ashamed of his short stature, hairy body, and large man-parts because his last and only boyfriend, a closeted, local married man kept telling him. Nash has a bigger secret---he is a male prostitute.

I love Jon Keys stories, mostly his characters. Luke and Nash didn't let me down. Chris Lukes best friend I loved her too and wouldn't have minded seeing more of her. The story in itself was also interesting. My biggest problem was that it was drawn out and the twists came right at the end. And came in threes. Two of them were very exciting and even scary, one one about Bobby, Luke's ex, I think could have even been left out, though I did like that he got what was coming to him. All three of these hit at the end of the book---bam bam bam and I think the book would have been much better with the two happening a bit earlier maybe interspersed in some of the hot man-sex between Luke and Nash.
If you like sweet romance, online dating, cowboys, and some really hot man-sex you will like this.

Nash and Luke are two very different men that met online and became cyberfriends. Nash lives in the city and Luke lives in the country on a farm. Nash has tattoos and piercings and Luke does not. Luke has little sexual experience and Nash is a pro. Nash needs a vacation from his life and takes a two-week vacation to spend it with Luke. Luke had said he lived in the country, but Nash didn't realize it would be so rural. It takes a little time for the men to settle into their comfortable friendship in real life, but they eventually do. And, though neither planned it, they both give in to their attraction for the other. But, both men have some secrets that must be overcome.

Nash and Luke were good characters, but I would have loved some more character development and backstory. I didn't really feel the chemistry between the two men, and for a lot of the book, I understood that since they were just getting to know each other in real life instead of through their computer. Though Luke lives in a rural area, they are not lacking in food selections. They definitely seemed to work up an appetite a lot throughout their time together, and food was a big part of their story. With Luke living on the farm, I was a little surprised that there wasn't more focus or time spent on doing the farm work.

Luke may have been in a rural area, but don't think that means boring or quiet. Luke and Nash experience difficulties with a neighbor, an ex-lover and mother nature. And, even if they manage to deal with all those issues, eventually Luke will find out that Nash is a prostitute/rent boy in Atlanta. Luke's best friend was able to find the information out pretty easily online, and Nash did have a website, so it makes me wonder what the heck Luke was thinking letting a stranger come stay in his home without doing his own research!
