Max is a trainer at a gym and thinks that if he makes enough money, he will be happy. He's not bothered if his making enough money means he poaches clients from his fellow trainers. In fact, he's not bothered by how anyone feels at all. Daniel is a sweetie who is reeling from his father's death of a heart attack at only 50. As a professor, Daniel is worried about being too sedentary and following in his father's footsteps. After a quick but steamy time in the shower together, Max and Daniel separate for about half the book, as it follows them on their own paths.
Luckily for me, the horror rating on this is quite low, although that Bogeyman showing up as he did gave me the chills! The kink is high and I love how everything was something Max could use with Daniel.
The pacing was very fast and, being 100% honest, I don't believe Max would have completely learnt his lessons that fast. Perhaps the threat of the Bogeyman returning was threat enough to keep him honest?!
A short and kinky story that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending.

We learn more about the history and pasts of each of our characters, and figure out just how they worked together - or were supposed to! We are also introduced to new characters who have big roles to play, even if one of them isn't that old.
Amelia is fraying slightly at the edges, which is fair enough considering the torment she is putting others through. I still love Bill and love how he is making her life as miserable as possible! Roland goes through a lot in this book. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he works it out AND Beth is able to help Layla!
Just as much intrigue and suspense in this book but, for me, it flowed a little better. I was able to get lost in the story much quicker than in book one. Maybe it's because I already had the background of the characters. I don't know. All I know is I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for the final! Highly recommended by me.

The characters are so unique! Laura is brilliant. I did notice a character who was a bit like her in One Hundred Names and it made me wonder if the idea came from there. But wherever the idea came from, I just LOVED Laura. Her skills were one-of-a-kind and I had never seen a character like her and as unique as her in any book, ever.
I also loved Solomon and his compassionate and caring side. He was such a loving character and clearly never fitted in with the people who surrounded him. He was the one who cared and saw Laura as a real person rather than just an item for a money-making scheme.
I don’t think any book can ever live up to this one. The story about loving someone and never wanting them to change who they are really got to me. It was so emotional and had me gripped over the couple of days it took me to read it. I would definitely re-read this to death if I had the time.
I don’t even know how to say how much I love it. The story just fills my heart with so much love, and I think it’s a story about acceptance that every single person should read at some point in their life.

The first half, for me, was 5 star worthy because I was drawn into their story and I think I felt the same things that Jared did in regards to Matt. I wanted them to get together so bad and when something happened to stop it, I wanted to throw my Kindle. Seeing how Matt was determined to be straight while slowly spending more and more time with Jared and touching him in ways that a straight man wouldn't. It was lovely reading.
The second half, for me, was 3 star worthy because when they did finally get together after a lot of arguing, Jared turned into a bit of a hypocrite in regards to other people knowing about them in their little town. It felt like he'd pushed Matt into being with him only to be ashamed of him and it drove me crazy, making me want to chuck my kindle at the wall again.
Luckily, it was quickly resolved and it went back to being a really cute relationship.
I really liked both men but I think Matt was my favourite of the two; I think it was his gentleness with Jared--and the hair obsession--I just thought it was really sweet.
A 4 star review from me and I look forward to reading more books by the author.
