review 1: I really don't know what my problem is, but I'm ridiculously addicted to romance right now. I can't seem to get enough of it. I'm not sure if my brain is trying to tell me to get my toes back into the dating game, after years and years of purposefully being single. Maybe I just like reading about sex, which is something I'm not all that familiar with anymore. And truthfully, I end up skimming through most of the sex scenes, so I'm all most positive that it's not the second explanation. I'm not even all that sure about the first, while I have thought about it, and maybe even talking again with someone I dated 19 years ago, I'm not sure that explains it either. I do know that, to a small or even large degree, it's the fact that I'm discovering so many new to me authors... more, some of whom are pretty frickin good. I'm not familiar with the ebook publishing world to know what portion of these authors also get paper books published as well, but I do think a lot of them would be if they were writing in another genre. So many of them are brilliant, that it's their writing I'm addicted to, not necessarily the romance aspect. Though I'm not skimming through ALL the sex scenes.When it comes to Kyle and Joseph, they were adorable. They were the typical odd couple, a couple that on paper, does not belong together, but they click. Kyle, in all his innocence, gives Joseph a new lease on life. Allowing him to dive back into a relationship with someone who isn't jaded or bitter by past relationships. Kyle on the other hand, allows himself to really explore life and all it has to offer with Joseph, something he's never done before. The relationships also allows both of them to truly trust in each other, an idea that's foreign to both of them.Kyle is the surprise standout for me. He is the character that grows the most, and truly comes into his own person. He comes out to his very fundamentalist mother, something he thought he would never do, in front of an entire room full of religiously conservative women. When the guest speaker starts rallying against the evils of "the gays", he eventually breaks down and confronts the man. He isn't afraid, he isn't hesitant, he's amazing in that moment, and if he was real, I would have proposed to the man. From that moment on, he is a man who is fully comfortable in his own skin, which allows him to be completely comfortable with Joseph.
review 2: That was sweet and a few lines made me smile but...This is not a proper way to tell a story, this is only a fantasy. The climax is like at page 3 and the rest is a very very long epilogue, almost without any tension (except for the coming out scene but the quote from Independence Day (yeah, the movie) ruins it...).The characters are like dummy characters, we don't know their family name, we barely know what they look like, we don't know what the main character does for a living, they both have no background story, secondary characters even doesn't have a name (except the 2 last because they'll be the main couple of the next installment)...There are some inconsistencies, how an ER doctor can be so ignorant about basic subjects and supposedly be very intelligent, cultivated and interesting ?Cute and sweet are cool but that's not enough.Also, they all pee a lot. less

Pure, unadulterated fluff. If that's what you're in the mood for, go ahead. Otherwise, not so much.

Fun, entertaining, but really not much substance or conflict. Not bad, especially for a free read.

A funny read told from the MC Joseph's POV. And darn does he have a loud voice ;-)
