review 1: I liked this book until the very end, and the I got peeved. I supremely dislike creepers (aka Jake) just getting forgiven. Really- like in real life if your room mate and best friend abducted you, hit you in the head and refused to let you leave until you confessed your love- you would stay friends?? Ah hell no! Also- I thought the character of Rowan didn't mesh with this forgiveness. It seemed like an over the top gesture. It took the commune hippy love angle of forgiveness to a whole new level of unrealistic. I'm pretty sure the commune called and they want to press charges too.Otherwise- fine story. Cute antisocial older bear falls for friendly fun loving younger guy. Avoidance of romance followed by love ensues, resistance from external friends... more etc.
review 2: Letting in the Light by Fae Sutherland is one of the best May/December romances I’ve read in a long time. Fae Sutherland is quickly becoming a “must read” author of mine. I have yet to read a book by her I haven’t loved. She writes fast paced stories with heroes that are addictive to read about, and the chemistry between them are always sizzling off the pages, and it’s always hard to say goodbye to them at the end of the story.Rowan Lee isn’t the type of man who stays in one place for long. In his short life he’s done a lot of traveling, never getting too close to the people he meets. Rowan is a warm, funny and intelligent man who attracts almost everyone who is around him. On a whim, he decided to stay in Provincetown because he wants to experience a New England winter. For the past three months, Rowan has worked at a local coffee shop. As expected, the gossip runs rapid there, and one of the favorite topics is the mysterious, resident genius and reclusive mystery writer Finnegan Clark. When Rowan is asked to make a delievery to Finnegan’s address he jumps at the chance to meet Finnegan firsthand, and to see for himself what the mystique is all about. What Rowan doesn’t expect is how attractive the older man is. Tall, beautiful shoulder length hair and a body that would make a young man cry with jealousy, Rowan is immediately attracted to the handsome silver fox. Too bad, Finnegan’s reputation as a gruff and rude man is all true because he practically slams the door in Rowan’s face before Rowan can get a few words flirtatious words in edgewise.What Finnegan doesn’t realize is once Rowan sets his mind to something, he doesn’t quit until he gets his way. Finnegan can’t believe how much nerve Rowan has. Not only is he not intimidated by Finnegan’s sarcastic retorts and colossal size, but he keeps worming his way into his house and into his life. Finnegan can’t figure out why someone who is as handsome and charismatic as Rowan would ever want with an over the hill, pain in the ass like him. As time goes by, Finnegan comes to realize that Rowan is just what he needs, and the love he has always looked for, but has always denied for himself. There is some angst in this book, but not a lot. There are some secondary characters that are very interesting, and there is a conflict with another character, that tests Rowan and Finnegan’s relationship just as they start to get really serious about each other. I really loved this book, and I see me rereading it many times in the years to come. I thought some of the problems that Finnegan and a Rowan were very realistic including the age difference and other things that they have to deal with first hand to get their relationship off the ground. I loved them and I hated for this book to end. Both Finnegan and Rowan are people I would proudly call friends and I really loved every moment of their story together. 5 + Stars less
