review 1: I initially thought that this would be some thought provoking – tear jerker kind of story but it turned out flat in the end. Aiden was left to die by his Dad when he was caught red handed flippin’ through a gay magazine and was saved by John Cole, an ex-military who’s in town to renovate a house he inherited from a relative. He was cared for by the older guy and both shared their stories which made them closer. John feels protective of Aiden and knows that he should do something for the guy and Aiden’s still terrified with what happened and what his family could do to him. There was a sound premise looming around this story. The title alone was very promising. I liked the title. It was intriguing. The twist though was rather abrupt and not surprising at all. I love... mored the setting but the uninspired characterization, not so much. I feel that there should’ve been more. It’s an HFN story and after finishing it, my heart still aches for both MC. What would happen to them? It feels unfinished.Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
review 2: 4.5This was my first Lisa Henry (undiluted) story. I have read several of her collaborations and loved them. I was afraid it would be too dark or tragic. It was tragic and serious and had damaged characters grasping for something good amidst all of the pain they had experienced in their lives. It is also very well written and I was completely immersed in the lives of the characters. The ending is hopeful rather than an HEA - at least it felt that way for me. I must say I enjoyed it very much and need to thank my friend J. for recommending it! less
