As the third book in this series, it was nice to catch up with characters from the previous books. I liked Chase and Brian. I did think Brian's sudden personality change was a bit jarring. And I really, really would have liked to see Kit get his comeuppance! ( )

So I’m a HUGE Cat Grant fan. She writes m/m romance like no other, and I love her work. That being said, I was psyched to be able to read another of her pieces. However, this is book three in her Icon Men series, and I totally wish I would have read books one & two. That doesn’t mean I don’t like this one. Because I do. A lot. It’s just that when a book is so wonderfully written and it’s in a series, I want the full effect. So, I will definitely, with out a doubt, be grabbing books one and two in this series.

A FOOL FOR YOU brings us Chase and Brian’s story. Wow, is all I have to say. These two men are stunningly created and their back stories, as well as the present stories, are amazingly written and really pulled me to the center of the book. The emotions rolled through me the whole time I was reading their stories.

Brian and Chase are wonderfully created and really captured me. Their characteristics are real and came to life for me. I felt a part of them while I was reading. And the passion between these men as they fought to let go of the past, and embrace what was true and real, was intense!

This story of letting go and moving on, grabbing the present and aiming for the future, is one that I would recommend to everyone who loves a wonderful m/m romance novel. It’s exciting, intense, page-turning and breathtaking. Each page turn brings you a new look into Brian and Chase’s lives and will leave you happy to be a fool in love with reading! Well done once again, Ms. Grant! ( )

At the third book in the series, the author decided to label this one the “Icon Men” series. I thought about this “icon” tag, and my conclusion is that these stories are centred around characters out of the dreams, sexy and not, of many men, but then in the end, they are more down to earth than what you were expecting. In the first story there was the sexy escort, in the second one the drag queen, and now the pop/rock/blues star; the common theme is an immediate attraction to the “icon”, the dreamlike imagine we have of the man, but then the lover will understand the man is just like everyone else, with his goods and bads.

Brian is really only a kid at the beginning of the story, he is already 20 years old, but he is practically living alone since he was 15, dragged from place to place by his boyfriend with whom he has a rock band. When the cheating boyfriend finds someone else from whom he can dig, Brian finds himself in need of help and shelter and he finds them in the arms of Chase, a blues guitar player, and in the welcoming family his father Trent built with partner Cameron.

There is really no bump in this story, if not, as I said, the need for Brian to grow a little and learning that the world is not Black and White and that it’s good sense to give people a second chance. Brian is really a spoiled brat at first, both with Trent and Cameron, but also with Chase. In a way he is expecting the world to love him since he had a “difficult” youth, not realizing that, in the end, he got it way simplier than many other kids.
