Silver fox Stephen Webb doesn’t mean to start a workplace fling with the cute new intern.

Stephen Webb has a pivotal tax season ahead of him and he doesn't have time for distractions. At least that's what he thinks—until Minoru "Max" Kamigawa walks into his life and disrupts all his plans.

Max secretly wants to follow his love of music, but family obligations keep him rooted in Hawaii. Tax supervisor Stephen Webb makes his spring internship a little sweeter, but the man's priorities don't seem to include Max. Is it only a fling or something worth staying for when his dreams come calling?

Stephen and Max must decide whether to stick to their goals or risk everything and change their course for love.

A May-December MM romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers set in Honolulu, Hawaii.


4 Stars

Change for You is book 2 in the Oahu Lovers series by Crystal Lacy, it can be read as a standalone (which is what I did), but I think it might be best if you read it in order, seeing as Stephen, one of the MCs, was introduced there.

I adored Max, he was such a sweet, yet sassy young man, very mature for his age. On the other hand, while I liked Stephen, I found him bitter and grumpy, until Max started to chip away at his defenses. Unfortunately, just when I was warming up to him, Stephen reverted to his old ways and I just wanted to hit something (preferably him), and yes, I'm aware there had to be some kind of conflict, but it made me feel as if Max was the more mature of the two of them, even with the 20-year age gap between them. Stephen was emotionally stunted and that didn't do him any favors in my eyes. I was glad he finally realized what he'd done and took steps to remedy it, but I felt it was too little too late.

Despite that, I thought Max and Stephen had a lot of chemistry and when Stephen let his guard down, they were great together.

This is my first book by this author and it definitely won't be the last. I enjoyed her writing style, the characters and the setting and I'm already looking forward to the next book in the series. It sounds right up my alley. ;)
