Cade & Alan

review 1: While I finished reading this last night, I originally gave it three and a half stars. However, I awoke this morning not only remembering them and the details of their lives but also still curious to get to know them and their friends further. Therefore, in light of that fact I had to bump it up that extra half star to a 4. :-) I really enjoyed getting to know both Alan, a purple heart bearing Marine and poor, sweet Cade. I look forward to continuing to get to know them and their friends. Though this is apparently the first foray into publishing Alan & Cade's story doesn't "feel" like an author who is only beginning.
review 2: The setup was great, and the story was well written, but the relationship between the MCs lacked spark and the story felt truncated. ... moreSecondary characters, like Cade's roommate/BFF and her boyfriend, and Alan's ex and his husband, were introduced and dropped.Cade's past trauma was handled via flashbacks, and the descriptions paint a raw picture but aren't terribly graphic. I liked that Cade wasn't a particularly sympathetic character. Alan was extremely patient but didn't read like a marine to me.The dialogue was realistic and the past abuse aspect fairly well handled, but the ending was abrupt. Too many plot lines were left dangling. I'm not a fan of the question mark finish. less
