review 1: I can't quite decide how I feel about this novel. It was good in that I felt the two men - Mac and Fritzy - had a solid and loyal relationship, with the only issue causing them hesitation was whether they should be out or not, especially as Fritzy had a chance to make the big leagues. But I admit, I didn't really enjoy the story as much as I could have, because for a large section of the novel, the two men were not actually together; they were forced into a long distance relationship, leaving us only to see what was happening in Mac's life. And for me, some of the details of his life seemed over-explored, to the extent that I found myself wanting to skip a few pages ahead. I don't know for sure, but I think I might have enjoyed it more if it had been balanced with more det... moreails about Fritzy. All I do know though, is that it just missed hitting the right spot for me.
review 2: Totally loved this. Loved Mac's voice. Loved the trusting relationship between he and Fritz.Fritz himself was a lovely mess of contradictions: at times arrogent & powerful yet others humble and insecure. And all that lovely blushing. Not getting to spend any time in his head made me feel much admiration for Mac and the way he totally believed that Fritz was his.The obstacles they faced were realistic. I would have liked Sarah to have been fleshed out a little more, but I did enjoy the characters of Stammer and even Burgy.And it was funny, and sexy and the sexy was sometimes funny. And the grand gesture, although not overly grand, was suitably and adorably cute. less
