 There was quite a bit of buzz about this book on my social media timelines, so I wanted to see what it was all about. This was my first time reading this author. 
 Isaiah is quite content living a quiet life with his teenage son. The loss of his spouse has put him off all relationships as he just can't go through that sort of pain again. 
 But when he arranges a meeting between his son and one of his idols by the name of Victor, Isaiah's world goes into turmoil. He's attracted to Victor in a big-time way, only his grief over losing his husband keeps him from letting go. After a one-night stand, Isaiah moves on. 
 Victor is a gender fluid ballet dancer and artist. He's attracted to Isaiah, but accepts that he's not going to have more than one night. But when Victor's application for asylum is refused, Isaiah can't let Victor go back to Chechnya and possible death for his sexual orientation. They do the only thing they can -- fly to Vegas and get married. 
 Even after all this, Isaiah is sticking to his rule that they can't have a relationship. It's all for show. But there's a big bucket-load of chemistry between them, and it's hard to always follow Isaiah's rule. 
 Isaiah may find out too late just what his no-relationship rule is going to cost him. 
 I loved Victor in this, especially his interactions with Isaiah's son Evan. Victor's honesty and belief in himself and his causes really made this book for me. I did find the pacing to be slower than I like with this book, and there were quite a few times I wanted to smack Isaiah upside the head. 
 Overall, I liked this diverse romance and how it highlighted some of the difficulties of being out and proud.
