First let me say that after moving beyond the less than believable setup, this is a very good book: the set-up being that two totally straight guys who are totally into having sex with each other. It makes no sense to me, but the author's easy prose allowed me to dispel belief for the first third of the book.

Okay, my first problem with the book is the author’s habit of using all caps to convey emphasis. It was totally unnecessary and distracting. Below is text directly from the book, notice how many times the author uses caps to convey emphasis.

“You’re going to ask me who’s supposed to wear the pants in the relationship, aren’t you?” Glen leaned towards Chris a little. “Dude, I’m a HOCKEY PLAYER.”

Chris laughed a little. “Yeah, ok, I’ll give you that one. But look, you’re smarter than that, you really are. I saw some of the courses you took freshman year. You’re not an idiot. So, think about it for a while. You know Tyler. You know yourself. How do you WANT the relationship to go? The two of you pretty much have to figure it out as you go along. I suspect you’ve already figured some things out — you’ve been friends forever, right?”

Glen leaned back and bit the side of his lip. He was quiet. “Yeah, I think I see what you mean.”

“So now for the big question: how does Tyler feel about you?”

Glen sighed. He put his face in his hands, and then ran them over his hair. “I’m not sure. I’m really not. I THINK, maybe, he loves me too, the same way, but he’s repressed it worse than I have. Did.”

What is the point of using the caps? I don't know. I just know that when I came to a word in caps I would stop reading and wonder why. For me the last thing an author should want is to pull the reader out of the story. The author should want to keep the reader totally enthralled with the work.

With a book as good this it is an unfortunate circumstance.

Though I am totally ready for the next book in the series, I just hope the author breaks the “all caps” habit.

I followed this couple of billionaires around the world for the last three books, so my judgment is probably biased, but I really feel like they are old friends and I know all their antics and like with friends, you accept them and smile with indulgence.

Glen & Tyler are very young and very wealthy, a wealth that is impossible to imagine. They are married and in love and doesn’t care if that is not legal in some of the countries they are visiting, where it counts they have the backup of their wedding contract and where it doesn’t count, they have Tyler’s millions to let them be not only accepted, but also welcomed, everywhere. They are using the world as their personal playfield, the political contacts as aces in the sleeves, and the money as tokens. If they see something wrong, they simply make a call and have it righted. Is it real? Is it possible? Maybe not, but that is not the reason why you are reading Glen & Tyler Adventures, you want the dream of impossible, you want the little satisfaction Tyler is feeling when he can say, Glen, my husband, and have him threated better than a king.

While quite clever and cultured, both Glen than Tyler are basically young men with still the wish to enjoy life without much commitment, aside from the commitment they took with each other. As such, in more than one occasion, the author highlighted how they still enjoy to admire the players in the field, both men and women, but in the end, they are exclusive with each other and the game remain on a watch don’t touch level. Glen and Tyler decided to be together because they were in love, not since they didn’t have any other option, in a way the body would be willing to try, but their heart is binding them to their marriage votes.

I have to warn the possible reader, to fully appreciated this series, you have to start from book 1.
