review 1: This is a really good book and I do recommend it to everyone who like wounded characters.That said, I planned on rating it with a four, still think it is that good and the writing more than deserves it. But I am one of those people who are led by their emotions, and mine were strung pretty high while I read this. I liked both Jimmy and Cliff, liked how Jimmy was submissive and just how hard of a Dom Cliff was. I liked the fact that the story revolved around them and the way each step forward took time. I haven't read the first two books so I was unfamiliar with all the characters in this one. But that was completely my fault and not something that influenced my rating.My rating is based on the fact that I really liked this book, but couldn't get past certain details that d... morerove me crazy. I both love and hate false presumptions and conflicts based on knowingly doing the wrong thing. They are interesting and frustrating, a common thing in romance but at the same time very rewarding because you just know everything will work out for the best and the journey there will be amazing.I expected Cliff to work out all of Jimmy's problems. To take him under his wing and make everything better. I thought Cliff was capable of that, his attitude and power got to me and I needed him to follow through, to be the man who fixes everything. So when Jimmy went to rehab instead my expectations were crushed and I couldn't get past that. Suddenly I wasn't interested in the longing and the broken hearts or just how Jimmy dealt with being away.I figured Danny and Skate situations were a base for the next book, still, it irked me that their story was such a big part of this one and that it might have contributed to the development of Jimmy/Cliff relationship in a way it eventually went.Another thing was the sex issue and the dominance issue. The setting was so perfect, brilliant almost, with snippets of just how submissive Jimmy was and what a perfect Dom Cliff was, but there was none of the action to support that. I needed the action. I needed them to be all they could be and while the recovery was an important and beautiful part of the story, there was so much more there that could have been explored and offered. This book deserves way more than a 3 star rating and I'm sure readers will recognize the talent invested in it and the wonderful characterization a good author can accomplish. It just pushed some of the wrong buttons with me and I would feel bad if I gave it more than I would another book with some of the same issues.
review 2: This is an even darker story than the first two in the Rainbow Alley series: recounting the relationship between Cliff, a physiotherapist, and Jimmy, a submissive with destructive inclinations.It is heart-rending in the extreme, learning what Jimmy does and has done in the past; and suffering with Cliff in his attempt to "save" Jimmy.Characters from the two previous books play important parts in this story, so you need to read them first to understand their relationships with Cliff and Jimmy.There is a HEA (thank goodness), but it is torturous getting there. less
