Dan & Tyler

review 1: 4/4.5*I liked this story a lot. It's not particularly action packed, or full of flash, bang, wallop but it still kept me engaged and I loved the slow burn connection that grew betweenTyler and Dan over the story. There's a fourteen year age difference here that at times does show, mainly because 20 year old Dan does appear to be quite naive at times, and thirty plus Tyler is sort of jaded and world weary, but I never once felt that their attraction for each other was an issue or seemed wrong. The growing romance is beautifully paced, the love scenes hot but never overpowering and the chemistry strong. Both are fighting demons from their past. Tyler is ex military and has holed himself up in a cabin, living with his past hanging over his head and their first meeting reflect... mores that when he nearly shoots younger, runaway Dan because he catches him stealing raspberries on his land. Tired and hungry Dan is about to leave when he collapses and Tyler ends up taking him back to his cabin, supposedly only until he's fed and watered him enough to be able to send him on his way. Then tables are turned and Tyler falls and injures himself so Dan offers to stay on to help him until Tyler recovers. I guess you can guess how the sexually charged tension racks up between them as Tyler in particular tries to fight the attraction and push Dan away but Dan's stronger willed than he thinks and is having none of it, so ultimately these two begin a journey of healing together that ends with a very satisfying HFN and luckily a follow up story for these guys that I'd be very happy to move onto. Very enjoyable and another Jane Davitt story I can recommend.
review 2: 3.0 StarsThis was okaaaaay. I like the premise and it started out fairly well but sorta fizzled for two reasons: 1) it was kinda slow and 2) nothing much happened aside from Tyler overreacting to an email. And that's, frankly, too little to sustain a book of this length. On the plus side, there was a good deal of relationship building, provided you can put up with Tyler's prickishness for most of the book. Bottom line: okay but I'm not chomping at the bit to read book 2 ... and that's not a good sign. less
