Calling Max neurotic is putting it mildly, yet this ad agency hotshot really flips after meeting a prospective new client.
Joe needs help saving his aviation company and heads to New York, hoping to keep the sharks at bay. He never expected someone like Max to come along.
As All’s Fair In Love & Advertising started, Max was, in no way, someone I was drawn to. He comes across very self-centered, believing that everyone else is always wrong or unable to do the job as well as he can. Yet, as the story progressed and Max meets Joe, who is not only the ad agency’s new client but also someone who knows exactly how to handle Max, Max becomes more and more human. Rather than seeing the changes occur in Max himself, the author lets you know how different Max is behaving by the reactions of his co-workers. The author also throws a few twists in for Max by having him attracted to someone totally different than what he would normally go for. While Max may be secure in his new sexuality, his friends and co-workers think differently and it is only after Joe comes along that they begin to accept the change. To add some excitement, the author throws in a little industrial espionage into the mix.
Although I thought this story had a bit of a rough start, and if I were to change anything it would be to learn a little bit more about Joe as the story seems to revolve around Max, I am glad I stuck with this very entertaining story.
