The Tough Luck storyline focuses on Danny, a child television star, having a stalker. Cash, Danny's older brother's close friend, is assigned to protect Danny and upgrade the security system in Danny's house.
When the stalker strikes again, Danny and Cash hole up in a cabin in the woods where they go on a picnic, do nighttime yoga, and discover a fiery passion burning between them.
Cash has never had a male lover but can't deny his attraction to Danny. By his own admittance, Cash doesn't have a wild imagination, so he never envisioned sex could be this good. I read Cash as gay-demi because it was specifically Danny who cranked him up.
The story toddles along, with various common themes explored: forced proximity, age gap, grumpy/sunshine, client/bodyguard, sexual discovery/awakening.
Danny and Cash are interesting MCs, and the connection between them felt real.
The ending is a tentative HEA and features dogs, which is always a good thing.
However, I was expecting more to happen with the stalking plot. The resolution was, for lack of a better word, lame.
I also wanted to read more about Danny's addiction; there was no tension around this at all. We all knows addicts are never "cured," but Danny didn't seem to struggle at all with his sobriety.
I liked this book well enough, but I was expecting more ooomph from Annabeth Albert, who's one of my favorite authors in this genre.

I just read this one and agree with your review. It was sweet but lacked a bit more depth for me. The MCs were cute as hell though. It was sweet enough that i will read the next book in the series.
