** spoiler alert **
3.5 stars
Ahole MC needs a nurse because he got seriously banged up in an auto accident. Nurse turns out to be a hot and bisexual, flipping on the ahole's gay switch. Ahole is in denial about his homoerogenous tendencies but can't resist falling for, then emotionally abusing the hot nurse.
As a side plot, ahole MC is one of four friends from high school (or was it college?) who coincidentally all turn out to be gay. (Well, at least part time for one who went for some man-on-man action when he wanted it "rough and dirty". Mmmmm) Must've been why they clicked.
Back to the nurse. They have this tumultuous relationship involving the ahole MC repeatedly banging Nursie, then being filled with self-disgust and dumping him in some mean and cruel manner. The nurse reverts from being smart and stable to becoming reciprocally violent and codependent, always allowing the ahole back in to repeat the pattern. Of course they got their HEA, but just between you and me, this relationship could easily be depicted by one of those cycle of violence wheels.
The relationship conflict got a little repetitive and made me seriously doubt the longevity of their relationship. However, I'm a big fan of mean and angry so it kept me interested.

A quick look at the cover had me thinking you read something with a vagina (thought the bottom was a femme). Should have known better. ;D

Hopefully this year I'll get to As Meat Loves Salt and fill you in on the ending that you can't bear to read. LOL
