review 1: Kit is recovering from a very bad motorcycle accident.He is angry and frustrated with his situation and feels helpless and guilty for needing to rely on his father for so much.His physical therapist Neil knows he can get him back n his feet, but they are attracted to each other and Neil doesn't want to jeopardize his patient/therapist relationship.Here I had a few niggles, Neil himself admits he shouldn't do all these things with Kit, but can't seem to help himself, I can understand Kit feeling jerked around and that Neil is running to and cold.And I can certainly agree with how Kit feels about the whole hospital/docto/therapist situation from a patients point of view.Once they get over the bump, the story falls into a sweet falling in love story with no real angst or conf... morelict.
review 2: While this is #3 in the series, there is no overlap with the other books so is essentially a stand-alone. I thought this did a really good job at the beginning of showing how Kit was coping, or not as the case may be, with the fall-out of motorcycle accident. He felt guilty that now he father had to care for him when he should have been having his own life and I imagine like most of us, the whole "Well, at least your alive" thing wore thin as he struggled with life in a wheelchair. Needless to say, he was less than hospitable with his physiotherapist, however Neil was one of those people who never let a surly client get him down. Probably as annoying as hell in real life, but he managed to drag Kit along with him.It was nice to see their friendship grow before they hopped into bed. In fact Neil refuses to date Kit while he is his therapist. So often in romance they hop into bed right away, ethics be damned and oh, wait, he's cured by the magic healing power of twu wuv. But in this case no. The therapy was long and grueling, their friendship slowly developed and granted I got a bit annoyed with Neil who kept telling Kit that he only liked him for now and he'd move on. Sheesh, give people some credit. But it was nice when Kit took the bull by the horns and fired Neil so they could date.The awkwardness of going out for a date in a wheelchair, having his Dad have to drive them, it was all awkward but sweet and Neil was great about seeing Kit, not the guy in the wheelchair. So on the whole I really enjoyed this and even though Kit eventually does walk, he's never going to be running marathons. It sounds kind of awful, but I like it when someone with a handicap isn't "cured" so that they can fit the "normal" stereotype of romance leads. Even people who walk with a cane or in a wheelchair fall in love. less
