What to read after Can't Buy Me Love?

In a bawdy and uproarious debut novel, Chris Kenry takes readers on a rollicking ride with an irreverent, resilient jack of all trades -- and master of the naughtiest one. Written with biting wit and sharp, but loving, commentary on the myriad gay subcultures, "Can't Buy Me Love" is entertainment of the highest order -- warm, wise, and ultimately triumphant.

Thanks to his wealthy, doting lover, Jack Erikson's biggest daily challenges are the Stairmaster and deciding whether to read this week's issue of People before or after Entertainment Weekly. That changes with his smitten benefactor's sudden demise -- and a decade-old will that naturally doesn't include Jack. Unceremoniously tossed out of their shared home with little more than his rollerblades, Jack wonders who will support him in the style to which he's become accustomed.

To Jack's dismay, his half-hearted stints as a terminally bored office temp and disastrously clumsy waiter barely cover the minimum payments on his maxed out credit cards. However, with his perfect pecs and sculped abs, he's one of the most sought-after guys in town. Though he stumbles into his newfound career running Harden Up, a male escort service, purely by accident, it doesn't take long for Jack to reap the financial rewards of all those workouts. Soon business is booming, especially after he teams up with dark and decadent fellow hustler Ray. Now they're making more money than they ever imagined -- and falling for each other in the process. With everything going his way at last, Jack can't help wondering...can a pair of entrepreneurial escorts really live happily ever after in suburban Denver?
