Falls somewhere between a 1.5 and 2, but I'll go with a 2 since my 1s are usually reserved for books I didn't finish. 
 I picked this up after Hard Tail in which the MCs of P&P make a "guest appearance". I was intrigued by both the premise and seeing how 2 such dissimilar men (physically, socially, pretty different in every way) came to be together. I came away from the story still unsure of how it happened. I mean, I get that the no-sex thing allowed them to get to know one another on a deeper level, and I get that Russell was the first guy to be nice to Luke without expecting anything in return, but I don't get why that alone caused Luke to fall in love with Russell, and I didn't see anything that would clue me in to why Russell fell for Luke. 
 My main problem with P&P was (view spoiler)[ 
 Luke got fucked by two guys in this book; neither of them was Russell. While they do give each other head even that was kind of "ruined" for me by the fact that Luke had just come home from getting fucked by another guy, and I didn't see ANYthing about him showering between the two. I realize it was during the skeevy ex sex that Luke had his lightbulb moment, but geez - take a moment to wash the last dude out before moving on to the next. (hide spoiler)] 
 I think another 10+ pages to take a breather and work through their "issues" before hooking up would have improved this a star or so, but it just didn't happen. It had promise and potential, but the reality fell short.
