Daddy Issues
Jason Townsend has issues with the older men in his life. His current boyfriend Jared is also his boss and, while the two get along wonderfully in the bedroom, their relationship at the office is tense and uncomfortable. Jason’s relationship with his father is also strained -- they grew apart when Jason came out shortly after his parents divorced.
The only person Jason has ever been able to rely on is his mother. So when she announces she’s met Mr. Right, Jason is skeptical. When he meets her new boyfriend, handsome professor Paul Everett, he quickly realizes he and Paul have more in common than their connection to his mother. The two men had slept together the previous summer.
Paul refuses to break things off with Jill, claiming he enjoys being with women and telling Jason their hook-up was a one-time thing that didn’t mean much to him. Unwilling to tell his mother about his past with Paul, Jason stews in silence as he watches his mother and Paul grow closer. At the same time, he finds himself becoming more and more attracted to Paul. When he can’t stand it any longer, Jason makes a pass at his mother’s boyfriend and is surprised his affections aren’t spurned.
Even though Jason finds himself falling in love with Paul, he knows he’s betraying his mother and he hates himself for it. She’s always been his staunchest ally, and sleeping with her boyfriend abuses the trust between them. Can Jason love a man who’s also deceiving his mother? When he’s forced to choose between Paul and his mother, the decision isn’t as easy as it seems.

Jason is a spoiled brat,. What Jason wants, Jason get.
And he wants Paul. His mother's boyfriend.
Paul is a cheating asshole, so he took advantage of it. He fucks both the mother and the son.
Go figure.
I felt sorry for her and for Jared (Jason's on-off boyfriend).
No happy ending for Jason and Paul. Happy ending for Paul and Dean his former boyfriend.
Jason ended with Jared. But I think, Jared deserved better.
Just saying.

I guess this was an OK read. I never really got into it. I felt Jason was far too much of a brat, Paul was far too unexplored of a character. All in all, the ending seemed far too neat and tidy, and unbelievable in some ways.
I didn't dislike the book,it just didn't motivate me to feel anything about it really, which is far more disappointing.

Not to my taste. I didn't like the characters and frankly speaking, the story in general rather bored me.
