DBML: Pine Valley by Ged Ruggles



My rating: 1 star

Synopsis from GR:
Most men of ambition would kill for the chance to play a bracing game at Pine Valley, the most celebrated, and exclusive, golf course in the world. And in the summer of his 30th birthday, Jeff Carpenter gets his chance. 
Trouble is, Jeff isn't exactly a man of ambition, having put his literary dreams on hold 10 years ago for a soulless back office job. Nor did he ever master the art of the swing farther than once making par on the giant dinosaur hole at his local childhood mini golf. 

But a chance encounter with the son of Pine Valley's most senior councilman at a Philadelphia gay bar, sparks a clandestine romance that plunges Jeff into a web of intrigue that threatens Pine Valley's very existence.

[DBML Event: I received a copy of the book in exchange for a honest review]

It was a difficult book to finish for me.
I didn't get it right from the start and I still don't! The way the story is told was very confusing and it made forming an attachment to the main characters quite hard...In the end, I couldn't feel any affection at all for Jeff or Kent.
That's all I feel comfortable to say about this book.
