Book one in the Bad in Baltimore series features rich guy Kellan Brooks, whose father has just cut him off for doing nothing but leading a hedonistic life and ruining his third engagement. To get back at him, Kellan decides to "play gay" with the son of a man Geoffrey Brooks ruined over a decade ago. Nate Gray is the editor of a local weekly and is out to expose Geoffrey as an immoral businessman out to dupe the people of Baltimore. He'd also like to get revenge for what the man did to Nate's father, but Kellan deeply wounded and betrayed Nate when they were 15 and best friends. Can Nate forgive Kellan long enough to get even with the man who ruined his father, or will he suffer even more when Kellan gets his revenge by humiliating and exposing Geoffrey?
This was an interesting story with well-written characters and lots of angst. Kellan is desperate to get back at his dad while trying to stand on his own. Nate was a real jerk to him at first, but the author made it clear that Kellan deserved it. There was plenty of snappy dialog with some great one-liners delivered by Nate's friend Eli that had me chuckling out loud. And there was a lovely kitty, too. 224 pages (Kindle edition).
