This one, despite its glorious art, is your standard fanfiction-quality yaoi. It's the usual 'absurdly-wealthy-foreigner-loses-way-and-insists-on-staying-with-poor-host-guy' type deal, with the slightly unorthodox use of the long, flowy golden hair and gold jewelry all over said foreigner. The host is, of course, a pushover and a 'normal' guy. Don't expect anything surprising to happen in this one.
As I've said, the plot leaves much to be desired - such as, I dunno, a plot? - and is generally unbelievable. The idea that a foreigner with that much money would 'lose' his bodyguards is inconceivable, and it isn't reconciled later in the story, either (such as with an admission that he had lost them on purpose, for instance).
The characters are also lackluster. The foreigner is a selfish, spoiled child who generates little sympathy from the reader, especially since he's a type found often in yaoi - and always the wealthy heir, too. The main character is more likable, but his choices and motivations don't make sense, particularly when he lets a complete stranger sex him up. I mean, he seemed to be pretty stubborn up until that point... it was a rather abrupt shift.
The sex itself, speaking of which, was all right but didn't have enough inspiration. There seemed to be little reason for the main character to cooperate, making it more of a lazy-rape. Not sure what that term means, but I bet it'd apply to this.
All in all, 30/40. That feels like too high a score...
Recommendation: Read if you appreciate the spoiled-heir type. Or some such nonsense.
