This was a very powerful story about love, forgiveness, and redemption. I really enjoyed David, and John’s relationship with its trials, and very real problems. The men in this story are very flawed, and it takes time patience, and even outside medical help to get them on the right track to having a healthy relationship. As my friend that lent it to me says, there is no magic dick in this to make it all better.So saying this is not a cookie cutter romance is an understatement. It’s not Harlequin romance with the standard trope of meet, fuck, fight, make up, and fall in love, no its much more complicated.There is a darkness in this story, that a lot of romances don’t have, and I really enjoyed that. It’s not all picture perfect, and pretty story, its more fragile, like the softest touch can break it. There are a lot of bad things that happen, the author put a lot of reality in this. I am not saying this doesn’t have a HEA, it does, but it takes a lot to get there.So, I recommend this to all who want a break from pretty, and want something that makes you think, and feel, and know that, that is okay!
