Male/male stories are quickly becoming my favorite subgenre of romance because of stories like this one. Ms. Urban and Ms. Silver really drew me into the story and made me feel for both men. Although I wasn’t totally sure at times where the story was set, it didn’t matter. Matt and Dom were consuming characters. And the passion burning between them was so intense I had to check my screen to make sure it was still intact.

The hardwiring and contemporary culture can really mess a person up. I felt his emotions and could empathize with him because he just wanted to be happy. His desire to take care of his workers even to the detriment of his job was a refreshing change. He definitely had alpha qualities, but he also had a conscience.
Although I loved Dom, his character’s forthrightness was a bit overbearing at first. I got that he wanted Matt more than he could possibly imagine and I liked that he never gave up. I also loved his little moments of fear. Putting himself out there and saying how he wanted Matt took a lot of courage. That redeemed him in my eyes and made me love him more.
Though there were moments when this story seemed like a string of love scenes, there was a powerful plot that did keep me entertained and into the story.
If you want a book that will stick with you long after the last page, then you need to read Winner Takes All. I give it 4 cherries.
