While this is the third book in a series, it's easily enjoyed on its own. 
 Chad is the bad boy younger brother of Marley (MC from a previous book) and shows up at her house on the promise of 1. free food 2. free drink. That's where he "meets" "Bow Tie," a svelte geeky member of Marley's staff at GAMERS magazine. Bow Tie ties Chad's guts into knots when he doesn't immediately fall for Chad's come hither. The wearer of the eponymous bow tie, Owen, (or: Oh-Oh-Owen because Chad wants to give him an "Oh! Oh!" face, not because of a stutter!!) is interested, but not willing to let on how inadequate he feels in the presence of sexy-sexy Chad. 
 Owen wants Chad, bad, but doesn't want Marley--his direct superior--to find out about their bathroom shenanigans, or supply closet shenanigans. Or that time they did it on the floor... Meanwhile, Chad wants more floor time. Or naked in the park time...or any time with Owen. 
 Chad's always felt like a ne'er do well after flunking out of college. He pays his bills, and lives alone, but he can't stick with a job. He has aspirations in graphic design, but doesn't know if he has the staying power to commit to going back to school. And how would he pay for it anyhow? Plus, Owen's whole life had been commitment-phobic. He's bisexual (some people claim that's a commitment thing--not me, but it was there), and his longest stint at a job is his current one--four months as a topless bartender. Chad's starting to realize that this is not the best life for a 27 y/o man, and one who sincerely desires a successful man like Owen to find him desirable. 
 Trouble is, Chad's immature. Turns out that it might be better if he'd been forced to stick it out--in anything--because then he might have learned conflict resolution skills that are better than juvenile. Every time Chad gets upset, it seemed, he did the adult-equivalent of yelling "You're a poop-head" and taking his ball home from the park. (Which, honestly was pretty close to what he actually did.) 
 I adored Owen, who is a fully-functional adult. He may not be happy with Chad's behavior but he endeavors to root out the cause, instead of being smug. I guess finding the person to challenge him was what Owen needed. And, he helps Chad grow up. Chad decides to do some growing up of his own, on his own. Marley's there as a confidante, and there's a big part of the plot that hinges on Marley's boyfriend Austin's very public, very cosplay wedding proposal, and that keeps Owen and Chad in very close proximity when they would ordinarily not see each other. As a device it wasn't too obtrusive, and the proposal scene will definitely satisfy readers of the predominantly M/F romance series. 
 This is a quick read with steamy sexytimes and delicious dirty talk. Expect pornographic graphic arts and bow ties to go where no bow ties have gone before... HEA All The Way.
