This book was so freaking great. It will definitely be one of my top ten of the year. It is such a spicy, steamy, sexy, angsty book. Ugh. I absolutely devoured this book. This is the fourth book in the Doormen of the Upper East Side. I must admit I had only read the third book and this one but the books and the storylines are interconnected so it’s probably best to read them all and in order to enjoy them. This book focuses on Silas who is going through some rough stuff, his mom is very sick and he is paying for her medical treatment as well as taking care of her and her twin sister, he’s working three jobs to pay for everything, his boyfriend just dumped him and he’s living with 4 roommates and the sleeping arrangements are chaotic. One on his jobs is working as an escort which is how he meets Graham a very conservative catholic republican senator. Graham hires Silas for the evening the night before his wedding. Graham is in 30’s and is a very emotionally stunted man. He was bullied as a kid, so was homeschooled, he’s never had a sexual relationship of any kind with a man or woman and he’s about to get married. Graham tells Silas almost his whole life story and although Silas is in it just for the money he is sexually satisfied by this encounter. Months later Silas is now the doorman at his residence and coincidentally his physical trainer. Graham not being emotionally capable of understanding social cues takes Silas hostility towards him as dislike and loathing when in fact its desire and attraction. The relationship of these two men are such a comforting, loving and compassionate one, once they get pass all the insecurities and deflections. The couple face some really difficult situations and with Graham’s lack of interpersonal skills he doesn’t handle things the best way. However, the emotional growth of these two men throughout the story was so wonderful. Seeing a character grow and change in a book is truly an enlightening experience. Grab your tissues you will need them. 
This book deals with some serious stuff and in this political climate I appreciated the author's note at the beginning. This book is foremost a romance book. It is a beautiful love story between two men who love each other in spite of their differences and unfortunately they bring their own emotional baggage into their relationship. I loved that the author did not shy away from several political issues that divide us as a whole.  I enjoyed how Graham was presenting an issue from a catholic conservative point of view but missing the nuances or underlying issues that a democratic could understand. I love when a book tickles my heart and my brain as well.
