CEO Robert Bauer, with hard work and dedication, has risen farther than expected. Dedicating the past fifteen years to building his company and deciding that the measure of his happiness had nothing to do with having someone to go home to, Robert took his pleasure in quick romps, when time permitted. However, seeing Jesse McIntyre changed all of that. Jesse is a bartender at JB’s and keeps the patrons at arm’s length by pretending he’s straight. He has no desire to open himself to love, and doesn’t believe he’s capable of accurately judging a person’s character to even entertain the notion of anything beyond a simple hello.

Over the past few months, they have spent time finding out small details about one other, but never taken the time for personal contact. Mother Nature proves she’s a better matchmaker than most, when a snow storm pushes the men into close quarters. However, the only way they will have a relationship is if Jesse and Robert find a way to lose the baggage, and focus on their deep longing, their desire, and their mutual Passion.

M. L. Rhodes knows how to create some heat, and dress it up in a plot that grabs your attention. I loved Robert when he was first introduced in The Elf And Shoemaker. Handsome, charming and a man who was searching for love even if he didn’t realize it. Jesse was frightened of putting himself in harm’s way, on an emotional and physical level. There were moments where I expected one or the either to just walk away. Passion contains dashes of humor, drama, and mind-blowing orgasmic-inducing lovemaking scenes sure to curl toes. I’m looking forward to reading more from this talented author in the near future.
