BOOK BLURB:
Mason dreads the Cinco de Mayo celebration his boyfriend's sister is throwing in Mexico, because seeing her fiance again might just send Mason's libido up in flames.

BOOK REVIEW:
Cinco de Mayo is a favorite Mexican holiday, a time for family and friends to gather in joyous celebration with food and fun. The fifth of May is a downtime for Mason, though; he’d rather stay in San Antonio, but live-in boyfriend Miguel, also a coworker, insists they visit Miguel’s childhood home in Puebla, Mexico. Miguel’s father is deep in depression and his sister Pedra believes a crowd of 150 or more in celebration will help lift his spirits.

Miguel’s father frowns on his son’s relationship with Mason. Worse than that is the certain probability of encountering Pedra’s gorgeous fiance, hunk carpenter Anton. Sure enough, as if the memory of one small moment with Anton in secret some time back isn’t enough, there Anton is in all his glory, still dedicated to marrying a woman even though his orientation is solid, and still very, very unavailable to smitten Mason.

Mason has a boyfriend, and he would not knowingly interfere in Anton’s long-lasting engagement to Pedra, but being anywhere near Anton, especially as they’re repeatedly thrown together, is turning him head over heels. Soon he has to decide whether to continue with Miguel, whom he likes but doesn’t love. Even if he and Miguel split, will there ever be a chance with Anton?

Author Jamie Craig (the writing duo of Pepper Espinoza and Vivien Dean) spin an excitingly romantic and sensual story of four individuals webbed together by tradition, expectations, romance, and lust. Battling their way through a situation that seems destined to hurt somebody no matter what action is taken, the characters evolve each in their own way. Eventually the protagonists come to understand that sometimes the deepest character change comes through the most difficult decisions.
