This book by Michael Combs was a great and entertaining read, though probably not for the faint of heart. Mike’s sexual excursions are laugh-out-loud funny. Mike has this way about him that makes him really likeable the further you get. My favorite thing about Mike is that he understands his flaws, and accepts them in his own way, hence the title of the book.
I love the friendship he shared with Keith, and I loved their scenes together, which were many! What a riot those two are together. Overall, the book had some surprising turns I wasn’t expecting, and I felt myself loving the book more with each turn off the page. It was a quick read, nicely paced, and full of action!
