 Anna Zabo has quickly become an author that I know will write a book that is fantastic on so many levels. Each story in this series has been better than the last, and I eagerly await more from this amazing author. 
 In Due Diligence, we follow the story of Fazil Kurt as he travels to Seattle on a work assignment and runs into his first boyfriend, Todd Douglas. Many years, misunderstandings, and a lifetime of experiences have happened since the last time they have seen one another, but the affection and camaraderie and chemistry is still there. 
 I absolutely adored this couple and this book. I can't say that enough. Both the characters and the story were smart, they were erotic, and I was completely pulled under the spell that was cast. And being able to make a book about engineering and coding come off as sexy? That is quite an impressive feat! 
 Anna Zabo managed to tell a story that pulled me in, complete with characters that were flesh and blood. Both Fazil and Todd were human and could have been people I worked with. I could see them, understand them, and nothing felt contrived or implausible. They were real people caught in real situations and I felt their struggles, their insecurities and their desires for things to work out despite blatant racism, corporate politics and inconvenient geography. 
 While I typically enjoy more of a build up of sexual tension, I did not miss it here. Fazil and Todd had a history that allowed the insta-lust-turned-love be believable. Rather than witnessing their foreplay, it was years in the making while they were apart, and I wanted this couple to overcome their pasts. I felt that the rapid speed of their romance was justified based on their history, and what they lacked in growing sexual tension, they more than made up for in touchingly erotic scenes between these two men. 
 I can't express enough how much I loved this smart and sexy book and how much I enjoy reading this author. I struggled between rushing through to devour this treat all at once, and savoring the beautiful, emotional characters. I am somewhat mollified by the story having to end because there is a fourth book in the series to come, but it won't be soon enough. If you have not checked out this series, start with Takeover. You will be brought into a world of business dalliances and sexy kinky men, by an author that can tell one hell of a story.
