White Lies

Being a huge fan of the historical ‘Bushranger’ series by Jack Byrne, I was interested to see what he could do in a contemporary setting. I was not disappointed. 'White Lies' is sexy, fun, with some drama and angst, but nothing overwhelming, and an overall good read.
I fell for Brent right from the start, and his little brother Zach wasn't difficult to adore, either. I have a lot of respect for someone who is willing to, essentially, give up their life in order to protect and care for a family member. That's exactly what Brent has done since their parents died. The fact that he keeps the true knowledge regarding his one job from Zach is just a way to prevent Zach from being hurt and Brent being devastated if Zach despises him for his choices.
Dimitri is a recent immigrant from Sochi and has moved next door to Brent and Zach. Zach, being the much more social brother, has already regaled Dimitri with stories of his incredible brother. It doesn't take Dimitri long to realize that Brent prostitutes in order to take care of Zach, and that just makes Dimitri want him even more. Before too long the sparks are flying between these two men who desperately need each other, even when they don't know it.
I really enjoyed watching these two men fall in love. I was insanely jealous over their four week holiday to the beach, but it was delightful to see all three of them relaxing. A very sweet romance that I liked a lot. Thank you, Jack!
