Dan is a construction worker, who happens to be deep in the closet. Stevie is a prostitute who goes by the name Sunshine. Dan finds Stevie in an abandoned building after a particularly brutal session with a "customer" and takes him in. Love soon blooms between them, but life is never easy, especially when Dan doesn't want to be public with their relationship. Even more problematic, Sunshine's pimp wants him back - and will stop at nothing to recover him. The story is a little predictable, but still keeps a reader turning the pages.

Though Stevie is a cliche - a very effeminate, slightly stereotypical gay man - his character is fun and light-hearted, despite the horrors in his life. His character makes the book great, because you just can't help but love him and root for him to be happy. This novel reminded me of the movie "Pretty Woman," only with a male instead of female. A "hooker with a heart of gold," that's Stevie. Only Stevie must endure the tragedy of violation and pain in a way that is not often found in romance fiction. And his knight in shining armor isn't rich, and must overcome his own insecurities before he can look beyond himself. The sex between the two is more tender than hot, but just as enjoyable. And Dan's best friend is a well done minor character that helps move the story along and provide some humor.

This was wonderful, touching, sad, and so much more. Easy is one of Blue's best novels and I am happy to rebuy it now that it's available in print.

When Dan Corazon finds Stevie Sanger naked, beaten and abandoned, something about the abused young man calls to Dan's protective instincts. Without question, Dan sees to his care and soon learns that Stevie is a prostitute and unwilling to pursue his attacker. While he has every reason to leave, Dan simply can't abandon the fascinating young man. Offering to help him get back on his feet, Dan invites Stevie to live with him. Although not sure he deserves to take it, Stevie ultimately can't resist the comfort and safety of the offer. From the beginning both are intensely attracted, but reticent to act. Dan doesn't want to push Stevie, and more importantly, he is not openly gay. Used to hiding his true self, Dan is afraid of a relationship with the very out Stevie and not exactly sure how to pursue it. While Stevie can see that Dan is obviously interested, he misinterprets Dan's inaction and assumes he doesn't want a former rent boy. The more time the two spend together, the closer they become. In no time the pair discover how easy it is to fall in love, but how difficult making it work can be. With an opportunity for each to begin a new and better life, will they find a way to leave the past behind them?

Easy is a heartwarming tale that sizzles. Although Easy deals with the unsavory world of prostitution, it is tastefully handled. The dark and seedy was balanced by love and compassion. With a message of hope, a sense of fun, and wonderful characters, Ms. Blue creates a romantic story that rings true. I loved both men. Stevie's indomitable spirit masks a fragile heart. Dan's love and support provide Stevie with exactly what he needs. While Dan is an all round great guy, he is coming to terms with himself. Their faults do cause problems, but I wanted them together! Watching the sexual and emotional tension build had me squirming in my seat and cheering for a speedy resolution. Add in some fun and quirky supporting characters and great villains, and you get a suspenseful, sensual read that will leave you with a smile. Ally Blue knows how to write truly satisfying man love that leaves me wanting more!

This one is Ally's earlier works and one which I still remember vividly though I read it 2 years ago.
Dan's and Stevie's love story is emotionally written, filled with so much heartache and pain. Certain scenes just have me all choked up. The 2 characters are well developed and Stevie is endearing. Their love is filled with obstacles as Dan has to accept himself and Stevie is prey to a pimp who refuses to lose his boy. Ally has given us a remarkable, angst filled and stirring love story which I am very glad to have finally in print. A must for all M/M romance fans.

WOW loved the story line in this book. The character build up was great and left you irritated that it took so long for them to get romantic but when it did WOW.
