review 1: Greeeeeeat book!I love how powerful both men are! All the politics and intrigue is fantastic. I like how they fall in love, and how much it was impossible to both admit it. How can USA embassador be gay? It's a suicide to his carrer, he can't admit he felt in love with another man.. And not just any man, but the second in command in the British embassy! No... Impossible... Right?Read to know :)I adored it, and devour this book in one day. The story was perfect to me :). I was searching a romance, and got it. Can't give less than 5 stars :))
review 2: Distinguishes itself from other m/m romancesWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10 Pros: - Realistic (to a degree) - the characters struggle with not only the personal b... moreut also the political consequences of their relationship. - Sweet sex scenes full of feeling; however, see the cons list below also. - Unusual in that it (a) covers a longer period of time than many m/m romances and thus shows not just the "happily together" but the "happily still together"--it's similar in this way to Bareback by Chris Owen and the two On Fire books by Drew Zachary--and (b) struck me as accurate in its portrayal of (possible SPOILER here) what happens when two people who are still in love with each other meet after a long time apart. - Especially heartwarming ending (not just in the last chapter, but in the final 30 pages or so). Cons: - Fairly unimaginative and unoriginal sex scenes. - One terribly one-dimensional female character whom I can only hope is not based on a real person (although there is a wonderful multi-dimensional female character also who balances the other one out). - This is not a flaw in the story; it's just something that made me vaguely uncomfortable (Possible SPOILER here): one of the characters cheats on his wife of many years and continues not to tell her about the affair even after he realizes he's in love with a man. Overall comments: Worth reading if you like romance. Probably not for you if you prefer graphic descriptions of sex (particularly anything even vaguely kinky) and/or intense, intriguing plots. less
