review 1: 3.7 There is some fantastic dialog in this story. There are so many great moments between Ryuu and Daniel that will remind you of a championship ping pong game where the spectators heads are just whipping back and forth. I found Daniel's ability to read people very cool - very RDJ in Sherlock Holmes. Throughout the story you will be asking yourself, how much can one person take and Daniel's state of mind makes perfect sense. Here is where most readers are going to have issue: There was not enough time. Time to really fall in love with the two MCs love story. There was not enough time for their love to marinate and for me to feel as deep in love as they were feeling. The main part of the story took place over 5 days. When one of the MCs is certifiable, I want more ... moretime with that person and the connection. The next thing that folks are not going to like, the secondary plot. I understand that Daniel's story needed a stressful catalyst and maybe if I had had more time with their relationship and watch the flavors mix more, I would not have resented its intrusion as much. With that said, it was a consistent secondary plot. The author did not spring it on us nor drop it, it was always there running along side us, which I appreciated. One last niggle - the often brought up Seme and Uke talk. It got old-actually I just did a search and it is used 14 times. Interesting that it felt more - that is probably because it was the least interesting part of the story! I really appreciated where the story ended. I do not think I could have taken a pure HEA. I would have thrown the book to the wolves if that had happened. This also was the first time the readers had access to what was going on in Daniel's head. I can see the reason why and I can probably pick it all a part and theorize on it (and also maybe talk about why now and not earlier), but instead I will just say it worked for me. I think watching him from outside while he deteriorated helped me when we did get access to the inner workings. It will be interesting to see what others think. I can honestly say I could straddle the fence and depending could land on either side of the 3 stars.
review 2: Ryuu Tanaka is a popular, confident, even cocky, College professor. He spies a reserved and beautiful young man in a park and his encounter leads him to act completely out of character in his pursuit of the enigmatic Daniel. Most of the novel is Ryuu and Daniel getting to know one another. Their conversations are quite teasing and the attraction between them, even though Daniel claims to be straight, is electric. The sex scenes are great and they really feel right and fun as a couple. Gradually however, Ryuu learns more about Daniel's condition and things start to fall apart. I really fell for this couple and even though their love happened too quickly and the events of the story played out in too short a time period, I totally believed it. I was even a bit teary at the well-earned HEA. less
