I RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A FREE REVIEWING COPY.So basically this is the story of the casual hook up becoming something more. I read a lot of stories with this theme, but I am not sick of them yet even though of course the execution could make it or break it for me. But that goes for any theme, any subject pretty much. The writing is nice, flows well, I liked both Mark and Jamie well enough. I appreciated that the story did not have the over the top angst. Actually it almost did not have any angst and I thought it was suitable in this novella.I liked how Mark and Jamie came to realization that they love each other over the weeks they had been seeing each other even if they were sexually attracted to each other almost right away. But yeah, I admit that I got bored with every single one of their getting together being described in great detail in bed. I say this complaint often enough, but I will say it again - I do not feel that I know either of them as people when I finished the story. Oh I know them very well as sexual beings, but is that all there is to them?I do appreciate that with Jamie at least the author made an attempt - to show his family, to say at least something about his work and studies, but to me it was not nearly enough and with Mark I just felt it was not there.Nice story, but I am pretty sure it won't be a reread for me.
