Quinn Donahue will do anyone once, so when Aaron Miller spots Quinn making his moves in a Vancouver gay bar, Aaron thinks he's found just the guy to relieve him of his unwanted virginity. Quinn, however, has apparently decided to make an exception to his usual open-bed policy. He may be an unrepentant connoisseur of one-night stands, but he's not going to disappoint a sweet kid like Aaron by giving him a hot night and then leaving while the sheets are still warm.

After Quinn takes a job at Aaron's family horse farm, Aaron spots both the demons and the decency that drive Quinn's frequent brush-offs, and it makes Aaron want him even more. But Quinn is determined that Aaron won't go home with a man who doesn't deserve him, so he starts sending likely candidates Aaron's way. It takes a grim act of sacrifice for Aaron to realize exactly why Quinn's been so skittish, and he’ll have to keep a firm grip on the man of his dreams to keep Quinn from shying away.

- It was oké, i like slowe pace stories but this was just to slow. Both main characters are very likeable but there was no real chemistry. We didn´t get an answer to why Aaron was so hung up-head over heels for Quinn it just didn´t work for me.

- I was very pleasantly surprised by this novel by Kate Sherwood. Mysterious and beautiful, Quinn is dedicated to soothing his deeply buried hurt with sex and alcohol. He cruises the local bar for a new man each night. He selects an attractive young man for just another one stand, but the kid, Aaron, has other plans. For Aaron, it's love and lust at first sight, and he wants Quinn to be his first. Quinn, however, thinks Aaron deserves someone better. A busybody bartender tells Quinn about a new job--little does Quinn realize that the job is at a horse ranch owned by Aaron's family.
  The nosy bartender makes what would have been an improbable coincidence seem completely feasible. Quinn and Aaron are both charming. Quinn, older and much more experienced, learns a lot from the younger and supposedly naive Aaron. There was just the right amount of UST, and somewhat of a cliffhanger ending that left me wanting a sequel. Enjoyable, with a great sense of place for one of my favorite cities, the impossibly gorgeous Vancouver, BC. Nice work, solid, pleasing, and credible.
