good, but not one for me!
Independent reviewer for Gay Romance Reviews, I was gifted my copy of this book.

*insert sigh*

I can't decide whether I actually liked this book, or not, and it's annoying me cos I can't figure out WHY!

The plot isn't a particularly original one, and you can see what's gonna happen coming at you like a freaking train wreck and you can't stop it. But I actually liked that, that I could see it all coming at me, for the most part, anyway.

Both guys have a say, in the first person. Each voice is very different, and clear, given their ages and upbringings. I liked that, again, for the most part. First person isn't my first choice of narrative though. However, I did feel more of a connection to Ryan, who is Cason's best friend and Emery's son, than to the two main characters!

It's hot and steamy in places, and sweet and funny and emotional in others. Everything comes across nicely, and is well written.

It just . . didn't float my boat! As to why? I can't pinpoint that fact and you all know how much that stresses me so, not being about to voice my book feelings!

Its GOOD, don't get me wrong, because it kept me engaged enough to finish, and trust me when I say, I would've dumped it if it hadn't. Just not one for me, I'm afraid.

3 good, but not brilliant, stars.
