Deek originally wanted to grow up to be a fighter pilot, but the military rejected him because he’s colorblind. One to never live small, he channeled his energy into becoming a rock star. Unfortunately, the musician’s life lacked a couple of his favorite hobbies, namely having enough money to feed and clothe himself.
Since Deek has been enthralled by the written word and storytelling since he picked up his first Stephen King novel, It, he turned to his other passion: writing. On his way to work one day, a scene so vivid flashed through his mind that he felt compelled to pull over and put it to paper. Having neither quill nor parchment in which to document the image, he laboriously pecked out the first chapter of 122 Rules on his phone.
A transplant from a rainy pocket in the Pacific Northwest, Deek now lives in a sultry corner of the US of A where the sun shines bright, the sweet tea flows, and the hush puppies are hot and delicious. He and his brilliant, but stunning author bride, Erin Rhew, live a simple life with their writing assistant, a fat tabby named Trinity. They enjoy lingering in the mornings, and often late into the night, caught up Erin’s fantastic fantasy worlds of noble princes and knights and entwined in Deek’s dark underworld of the FBI and drug lords.
He and Erin love spending time with friends, running, boxing, and lifting weights. They adventure on the weekends.

Birth of an American Gigolo by Deek Rhew is an entertaining story of a woman scorned by a cheating husband with his secretary, and who plans her revenge in a unique and surprising way. The story had me guessing what would happen next. I am pleased to say, I was not disappointed with the results. I found a connection with the main character, Lindsey, and related with the earth loving hippie secretary, Cindie, of whom the pompous husband was so fond. This story has a nice flow and while reading I often laughed out loud, especially during the training session of the dauntingly handsome, yet extremely naïve Dios and his trainer, Lindsey, aka domesticated goddess.
I must honestly say Deek Rhew has a unique way of telling a story in Birth of an American Gigolo. It is rare for a man to be able to tell a convincing story from a woman’s perspective regarding her cheating husband, yet I found that Deek did an amazing job. I forgot I was reading a book written by a man. The love scenes are steamy, yet tastefully written. The only character that did not quite fit into the story and caught me off guard was Angel. However, as I read on, the timing of her entry into the plot was a little twist that set the rest of the story off, and what a sweet revenge it was indeed. This story read like a stage play. If you like Same Time Next Year, you will really enjoy Birth of an American Gigolo.
