He just got kissed by the hottest, most popular guy in the club. But there's one big problem.

The guy is a porn star.

After being cheated on too many times, Chance Whitaker has sworn off younger men. They can't be trusted, and Chance isn't willing to risk his heart again. But when his matchmaking friend offers to work some magic, Chance caves to curiosity. After all, Danny is never wrong.

Porn star Remy Dawes wants something real. When his boss, Danny, points out Chance in the crowd, Remy can't resist. One heated kiss, and they're both lost.

But Chance doesn't trust younger men to be faithful, so Remy's job is a major issue. As Chance struggles between attraction and certain heartbreak, a devious plot from a trusted friend threatens to rip them apart forever.

Can Chance and Remy overcome and live happily ever after?

G.R. Lyons stumbled into writing as a form of trauma recovery when traditional therapy wasn't working.

Then the story ideas just kept on coming.

Pulling from a vivid imagination as well as real-life experience as a trans man, a sexual assault survivor, and a person living with mental illness, Lyons has written multiple, interconnected series set within his fictional world of the Shifting Isles.

When not writing, Lyons can be found belly dancing around the house, studying anarcho-capitalist philosophy, buried in his never-ending TBR pile, or working out at the local CrossFit gym.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Editor, a Stripper and a Matchmaker.......
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2017
    4.5*
    I won this book in a FB competition!
    A 35 year old Book Editor and a 19 year old who works in the Sex Industry, seems like an unusual pairing, but thanks to the engaging writing skills of this author, he made it work.
    It was a long and arduous journey to getting their HEA - both Chance and Remy didn't make it easy for themselves, or us, the readers. But on that journey, I fell in love with Remy, he was just so special and will remain with me for a long time.
    As you have most probably gathered by now with the arduous journey comment, this storyline had angst. Lots and lots of it. But it also had lots of delicious sexy, but loving love to balance it out. But it wasn't always easy reading and one particular "event" left a sour taste in my mouth. For me, I didn't think the author handled it particularly well, almost glossed-it-over with another bombshell happening and that didn't sit right with me, so it cost him a 0.5* off my rating. Harsh maybe, but with the word building and expertly handled storyline, I just felt he missed an opportunity to help anyone who may have been in that situation themselves.
    Having said that, I did enjoy reading this new author to me. I definitely want to read Dan's story to find out how he lost Bryan to another man......
    P.s. Read the Glossary at the end of the book first - it will help to clear up some confusions when reading.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Ineteresting start to the trilogy
    Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017
    3.5 stars (Beware SPOILERS BELOW):

    Remy Dwes is 19yr stripper working at a bar/nightclub, Matchmaker. His job is taxing and leaves him empty but he enjoys it. He can’t help himself from hoping for someone to love him though not just for a quick rump.

    Chance Whitaker is swearing off younger guys because they can’t seem to keep faithful. At 35yr he’s a little tired of the scene and is a successful editor.

    Dan Berringer is the owner of Matchmaker and a damn good matchmaker, supposedly. At 25yr’s old he’s been through a lot. Chance has been there a lot for him and Remy is his favorite boy. He’ll like nothing better than to see the two together and sets them up.

    Chance has his misgivings about Remy especially when he finds out Remy’s occupation and how old he is. Remy likes Chance and is mature beyond his years. But Chance’s preconception of him is really throwing a wrench into any flourishing relationship between the two. The two will have to get pass the hurt and bias if they ever want a lasting relationship between them.

    The terminology:”Solday, Twinsday, Faldris, Siresda,” etc was unique and new. It gave off the feel that the story was set in an alternative universe (something we find out reading the glossary at the end of the book).

    Dan was a great friend and owner and I felt his heart was in the right place. I really am curious about his love life and what went down with Bryan.

    Matty wasn’t a very likable character and I felt he might have played into his stereotype of being a whore. What he did to Remy was pretty horrible and for him to just go back to pretending he didn’t do anything horrible really sucked.

    As for Remy and Chance, I didn’t feel the title was at all befitting of their relationship. There were so many chances given to Chance whenever he did something to sabotage his relationship with Remy. By the fourth time I was just over it and ready for Remy to brush him off and move on to a finding love with someone else. Thankfully Chance finally got his head out of his ass.

    I liked that Remy got to voice why he was in the sex industry and his view on his job and what it entails. It really put things into perspective how he compartmentalized his work relationship and his relations with Chance. It’s also probably why I felt so unforgiving about what Chance did those two days he was apart from Remy.

    The common theme with getting rid of Remy’s problematic issues by killing them off was going a little overboard for me. The author really could have gone in different directions with that such as incarceration. In fact there was now law or order in the entire book. It was like law enforcement didn’t exist.

    I also wanted to address that psychological issues weren’t dealt with well. It was pretty glossed over and I guess it’s to be expected seeing as there’s no source of government. Remy’s life was pretty messed up in an “OMG can he not catch a break” kind of way. Chance really just seemed like more of a complication. With how they both handled their relationship and all the misunderstanding it’s hard to believe they could be in a long lasting relationship. In fact, I don’t think them moving in together and buying a house was a good idea at all. Their communication skills were just plain ole sucked. If it wasn’t for Danny they probably wouldn’t even be in a relationship at all. With them moving away it’s hard to believe they could continue on in a relationship and be happy.

    The glossary at the end of the book didn’t really serve much of a purpose except to verify that the world the book takes place in is different from the world readers know. It did answer questions as to why law enforcement was nowhere in the book though (and I won’t go back to fix my review because the glossary would have been better at the start or a message from the author would have done just as well expectation wise. I was writing the review as I read).

    It was a good read but so vexing. I don’t know how I feel about reading the rest of the trilogy. Emotionally I feel like I’ve been dragged across burning coal. I’m exhausted and feeling a bit hurt and teary eyed.

    A free copy was provided to me in exchange for an honest review.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Some angst but loving story

    I liked Remy as a character, how he played against sterotype. I'm glad when Chance finally pulls his head out of his butt and gives him a chance. The naming of the days confused me a little but I understand that it's a different world so it's just something I'll get used to as I read more of the author's books. Towards the end there is some sad parts and I think that Matty's part seems to be a easy fix rather than a thought out conclusion. That part is really the only part of the story I was unhappy with. Nice read overall and I will be reading the rest of this series.

    If you have ever wondered how someone who has had to fight though horrible things is still able to find their happiness. Reading about the main character Remy Dawes gives you faith that some people shine through the darkness. Remy is a gorgeous stripper, porn star, live sex performer and dancer. He takes his assets and use them to build a life and a future without any help from anyone. He has two very best friends, Matt and Dan. Matt is his best friend and fellow performer and Dan is also his best friend and his boss. Both of them know all about Remy’s past and will do anything for him. Dan fancies himself as a matchmaker and tells Remy he has the perfect man for him. Enter Chance, a work at home editor who is estranged from his family, self-imposed hermit who has been burned and has a lot of trust issues and in general needs a major attitude adjustment. And Remy is just the one to do the adjustment. Both men deserve second changes and the author masterfully writes Remy a second chance, Chances gets a 2nd,3rd, 4th chance just because his is who he is. Read this book, you will love Remy, want to slap chance and generally want to know all of the characters better.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Chance and Remy
    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2021
    G.R. Lyons is a Exceptional Author, Second Chances was a Phenomenal Book.  This storyline was very well written. It's the first book I have read by G.R. Lyons, but definitely not the last. Remy and Chance's story will tear your heart out throughout the book but don't worry it gets put back together. I loved everything about this book. The love between these two will make your fall in love.
