This was more of a 1.5 stars; rounded up for the sheer ridiculousness of it.
Police detective Blaine has only recently transferred to DC, and he’s glad that no one here knows about his homosexuality, or his past as a prostitute. On top of that, he has to deal with a serious case of loneliness, which he attempts to drown with frequent anonymous fucks at a gay club, and his meddling female partner, who thinks him morose and keeps trying to remedy that by setting him up with her friends.
Once Blaine realizes his attacker of so long ago ago might actually be the very perp he’s looking for here and now, he realizes he can’t very well keep hiding much longer – which causes an understandable conflict of interests in him. This is why Blaine, at first, buries his head in the sand and says nothing. But then two things happen that force him to reveal his secrets. Nate, a young prostitute Blaine formed a connection with, is attacked and barely makes it out alive, and Blaine meets Andy, a dancer and actor, a man he deems worthy to come out of the closet for.
Once he’s made his decision, Blaine pulls it through, and soon things look golden. He and Andy practically live together with the blessings of Andy’s protective friends, and the murder case starts moving. But then a series of strange coincidences puts Andy’s friends on the killer’s hit list, and suddenly it’s Andy’s life that is at stakes, and Blaine is Andy’s only hope for survival.
Sounds good, doesn’t it? Perhaps a bit far fetched, but who cares, it’s fiction after all, isn’t it? And the mystery wasn’t all that bad, actually, even though it required some suspension of disbelief, especially with the series of hunches and coincidences that had Blaine show up just in time to save his lover’s life.
The taut writing style didn’t appeal to me overly much, but that’s mostly a matter of taste. The same may apply to the multiple POV’s; aside from Blaine and Andy, several other character have their say, including Nate, and Blaine’s partner Lucy, and even the killer, who was a bigoted, megalomaniac nutcase who behaved so erratic I couldn’t help wondering how he remained undetected as long as he supposedly did. Some parts were really well wrought out, particularly the harrowing misery of living on the streets and the day-to-day ordeal of turning tricks for a living. I also found it remarkable that the rent boys were always referred to as prostitutes, never some more derogatory term.
But, the romance – omigod...
Andy’s and Blaine’s first meeting in Blaine’s favorite hookup joint (their second meeting, actually, since Andy had already caught a glimpse at Blaine driving by him on the street) had me scratching my head due to the instant connection they formed. It wasn’t the insta-lust that puzzled me, given the location – two attractive strangers in a gay bar, serious flirtation, what’s to expect? Certainly not what actually happened, which would be commitment-shy Blaine talking about their future relationship by the second sentence they exchanged, and adventurous Andy virtuously calling it an early night because of his early start the next day. Each went home into his own bed. Then again, perhaps they were just being mature adults, they’re both over thirty after all, I thought.
However, it went on in the same vein. Andy almost weeped into his pillow from longing for Blaine the same night. Meeting on the street on the next day by chance, Blaine kissed Andy in front of his partner Lucy, effectively blasting the doors of his closet wide open (after having talked to Andy once for less than half an hour, mind!). But the real kicker came once they FINALLY had a closed door between them and the world for the first time (three days after said first meeting). Now you want to picture two sexy and horny and insta-enamored guys, hot kisses, condom on, lube applied where it’s supposed to go, and then the following scene happens:
..."Blaine grabbed Andy and turned him around, then pulled him into a crushing kiss. They were panting in seconds; sweat beaded on Blaine’s chest and the lube from the condom was cold against his belly. Andy was driving him crazy, but he wouldn’t mess up this relationship with a quick fuck.
He pushed Andy away. “No. I’m not doing this right now. I want you in my life for a long time. I want to get to know you.” What the hell was he doing? He could be inside this wonderful man right now. His entire body hurt with desire.
Andy’s face grew serious. “I want us to last, too.”
“We can’t do this right now.”....
Sweet and considerate, aren’t they? Epitomes of reason. I couldn’t take anything serious that went on between them after that. It didn’t help that, once they’d established that it was twu wuv for both of them (they all but started picking china patterns shortly after the scene above, after all), Blaine kept agonizing over how Andy was too good for him, how cop’s relationships never lasted, how Andy was surely to be disgusted with Blaine’s past, his scars, his work (all this after Andy had reassured him to the contrary).
And the ending was just over the top, from Blaine’s riding in to Andy’s rescue, literally guns blazing, to the “he-loves-me-he-loves-me-not” going on during their hospital reunion scene. It almost didn’t matter that things smoothly fell into place for both of them, professionally as well as privately, and Blaine’s past trauma was miraculously healed by Andy’s unerring love, and that Nate just dropped from the story somehow after playing such a crucial role for the most part.
This book would’ve made a halfway decent mystery without the romance part, and a real nice parody on the m/m romance genre without the serious and sensibly written parts about teenage prostitution. As it was, it went both ways and arrived nowhere, unfortunately.

Decent M/M Romantic Suspense, with reality-suspending Insta-Love.
Title: Selling It
Author: Sara York
Genre: M/M Contemporary Romance
Main Characters :
Blaine Wilson is a DC police detective whose past of living on the streets has put him wary of relationships. He keeps his encounters casual and avoids a lot of grief that way, mainly the need to come out as gay at work. It’s a lonely life, but he throws his all into his job.
Andy is an actor and dancer, come to DC for one final show before he retires to paint in leisure. His relationship history is the opposite of Blaine’s, he had to have an emotional connection in order to get intimate, and unfortunately, he falls in love way too often and way too soon. But now he’s made a promise to his friends to be smarter in love.
Plot/Conflict:
Blaine is getting tired and lonely of his string of anonymous hookups, but doesn’t really see an end in sight. Except one night when he walks into his favorite hook-up spot and sees Andy eating hot wings. Insta-love to the extreme happens, and the two connect right away. But just as things start heating up, Blaine is going to be forced to reveal some his less than favorable past indiscretions.
There seems to be a killer out there targeting young, underage, male prostitutes, and leaving similar cutting marks to the scars on Blaine’s own body. Blaine will have to come clean about his entire past in order to help the fate from reaching other young boys.
Loves:
Eh.
Likes:
I liked the serial killer aspect of the story line, it was pretty much the most real part of the whole book. It was well done, you actually got to see from his POV, as well as victims.
Peeves:
I guess my biggest peeve was the insta-love. It was far from believable. Here is Blaine walking along, getting blowjobs in bathrooms, having threesomes (again in bathrooms) and doing this almost every night. He is not out at work, he has never had a relationship, doesn’t even want one. And then he walks into the same bar he gets head at every night, and BAM, he sees Andy, thinks he’s cute, and his first non-introductory related sentence to Andy is “Not that I’m not wondering if you would be up for a bit of bumping, but for some reason I don’t want our relationship to be over that quickly.” And then, my favorite, “I know we don’t have anything yet, but I have a feeling out unattached status won’t last for long.” I understood Andy’s insta-connection, because that is what his character is known for, but Blaine’s wasn’t believable, I was really thrown during that whole scene.
The other peeve for me was Lucy, Blaine’s partner. Her POV was pretty superfluous to the story, and downright insulting a few times. That being said, I liked her character, and thought that her humor and banter with Blaine (when she wasn’t be a cranky biotch over finding out her crush was gay) could have gone further to lift the seriousness of the serial killer content.

Lucy to Blaine
We’re partners and them means I’ve got your back. Just let me strap on a bra so I don’t kill anyone with these puppies.

Lately, I’ve been a big fan of mysteries/thrillers in the LGBT genre.The storyline in Selling It was good. A killer is out there attacking mostly young, gay, and homeless male prostitutes. The wounds he leaves in the process of ending their lives are exact matches to Detective Blain Wilson’s. Years before he was on the streets and barely survived his own attack, so he believes the killer is the same one. The only problem is as the reader learns is that it appears that the murderer is just one of many trained to mark these young men in the name of God. It is truly frightening to think that hate is spread this way.
As far as the characters go, I really like Blaine and Andy, the man he meets at a bar one night. They do their very best to take things slow, because Blaine is not “out” and Andy has a history of falling for men too quickly. They do try, but they don’t do so well, the feelings they have for each other growing very quickly. Especially against the backdrop of these murders that Blaine is investigating.
During the investigations, Blaine tries to help a homeless teen named Nate, so that he won’t be the next victim. I wanted to like Nate, and empathize with him, especially when the killer attacks him, and he just manages to escape with his life. The problem is when Andy watches over him in the hospital so the young man doesn’t feel alone, he develops a very unhealthy obsession. It killed all feelings I could have had for him as a victim.
Obsession seemed to be the name of the game as we learn more about the killer as well. He is obsessed with attacking gay men, starting with the homeless and then his neighbors who just happened to be friends with Andy. As the reader of this story it seemed to me his obsession formed out of his own sexuality and denial of it.
I did think the mystery was good, and the relationship between Andy and Blaine was sweet, but Nate’s violence against those who helped him did bother me. I don’t know if the author ever thought of continuing the series, but I would have liked more than just the killer to be caught but the one who taught him to hate, to kill, and mark the bodies in such a horrifying way.

October 5, 2012Interesting gritty cop novel about a serial killer who is targeting young hustlers and the DC police detective who is the only one who can find him, since he was a victim himself. This is probably the point I struggled with, how a teenager hustler can become a police detective, but then I remember that the criminal record of underage kids are wiped out once you are 18 years old, and then Blaine was never arrested.
At the same time of when Blaine is starting this investigation, he also meets Andy, a performing artist with absolutely no issues in being out and proud; not the same for Blaine, who, even if not in the closet, has always avoided to be open with his sexuality at his job’s place. But both the investigation than the meeting with Andy, push Blaine to come out at work.
I also like the character of Nate, the young hustler who helps Blaine in his investigation; I liked the author didn’t make it a fallen angel, but actually a kid with big trouble, a messed up mind, and someone who would grasp every chance to stability, true or false as it could be. I hope the author has in mind an happily ever after also for him, maybe different than what he is hoping, and later in age, when he will be able to distinct true from false.
Even if there is a romance between Blaine and Andy, I found this novel to have a bittersweet aftertaste, as if the happiness for their new-found love was marred by a dark shadows; I felt as if not everything was settled for them, like there was something to patch to be really happy.

Crime solving only saving grace
SPOILER ALERT!!! This could have been a really good book if it was more thought out, it just seemed really rushed. Blaine and Andy's had an insta-love relationship with no real substance. And Lucy, I did not like her at all. Her behaviour towards Blaine was very distasteful and she seemed a little off her rocker. She constantly hounded him about his love life. She had their whole life planned out eventhough he had shown no interest in her or any other female. Then the hurt she showed after she found out he was gay, you would have thought they had been married for years although they had no personal relationship at all. They were work partners. Then Nate instantly falls for Andy and starts planning their future regardless of the fact that he's a minor and Nate's 20 years older than him. He didn't even know if Andy was in a relationship or not. Then he attacks Andy once he finds out he's in a relationship with Blaine. Both Lucy and Nate lived in their own little fantasy world. It seems like every character had the maturity of a 14 year old. The best part of the book was the murder case. If it wasn't for the crime solving aspect this book would have gotten one star.

I am going to throw 3 stars up there and make it stick. Some parts I loved and other parts not so much.
This was completely insta-love, but I don't mind that. What I did mind was the blow-jobs and random hook ups I had to read about in Clinks.
There were also too many POV's, we get Blaine, Andy, the killer, Blaine's partner on the force, and Nate.
Speaking of Nate, I really liked him. He hurt my heart. Then he just drops. I want his story.
I also didn't like
I normally don't read stories about rent boys, but this one appealed to me. What I didn't understand was the constant use of the word "prostitute". Was it supposed to make us readers see them under a different light by using a better term? I mean, not one person call them whores or rent boys.
Overall, I liked the "whodunnit". I also liked Blaine and Andy, even if it was super fast :)

I wish I could have rated this differently, but I just can't. It could be me, or just the time and place, but I couldn't connect with this one at all. I found it jumping all over the place. There were too many characters happening at once, too many story lines all vying for attention. And in the process they all lost out.
There is insta-love happening on a grand scale. In general this doesn't worry me, but here it was just too over the top for me to handle. Add all the other bits and pieces and I was actually glad to see the end of the story. Sorry!

can you say you read it, if you DNF after one chapter? the first chapter was a lot of telling and no showing, plus some inconsistent thoughts like, "I need to go to Clinks, wait, why am I going to Clinks?" Ugh
so, based on this and the reviews that say it gets worse at the end, I am ditching this book.

A sweet story
I'm not a guy so I don't know how guys work but I didn't feel that this story was a authentic to how a guy acts but what the hell do I know.
The story was sweet with some hot scenes. The characters lacked something to give me the right feelings but it was okay entertainment and it wasn't to long.

A book full of mysteries and not so many ... but in some ways very well narrated. I liked the plot but maybe police should have been more developed. What about Nate? Something sudden departure of the plot.
A worthwhile read, entertaining, easy to read and perfect for a rainy day bored.

Selling it
It was a good story but all the I love you stuff after a couple of days it's unrealistic it would of been better without the detective crying to and I guess I wanted them too save the kid and give him a life .

Not bad, fast read, but not to ally memorable, either. Insta love, and a slightly unbelievable love interest, but it was an enjoyable read.

Fast paced...so couldn't put it down!
The characters in this story all worked together to keep you totally involved and unable to put the book down till finished.

I liked the mystery and the two main characters in this book. The crime was thought out really well. The supporting characters acted very juvenile in my opinion.

This was an awesome story! Especially considering most titles listed as romance tend to be more erotica or smut, this was done very well. The main focus of the story was on the murders and how they were linked to Blaine. But there was a good amount of the relationship building...even if it was rushed...between Blaine and Andy. The only thing I didn't like was how the murder-mystery part ended. When it happened... I was like, "What? Seriously that's how you're going to wrap it up?" Unanswered questions remain. And if there aren't other books linked to this one to answer them, I'm quite sure I'm not the only disappointed/confused reader.
