I will definitely be devouring everything this author puts out in the future.  It's been a long time since I've come across an M/M romance that has captured my heart.  This book had everything I've been looking for and in just the right amounts...love, romance, sex, tenderness, and character development.Colin and Evan have been best friends since being flatmates during University.  Since then, Colin's become a professor himself and Evan is a rush-seeking dedicated journalist.  Both have been off and on with various females through the years.  Meanwhile, Colin has always known that Evan was the love of his life but has kept it a secret and while Evan has been in a semi-serious long-term relationship with his girlfriend, he's always known it wouldn't last.  During his trip to Afghanistan, he realizes he just needs to rip the bandage and end it already, but still continues to delay the break-up.  Colin finally decides to make his feelings known and thus begins the loveliest relationship I've read about in a while.After his experiences in Afghanistan, Evan decides that he can use his journalistic talents to uncover terrorist activities in Pakistan, but tragically becomes a hostage.  Upon his rescue and return after 4 months, he finds that Colin is still there having never stopped loving him and supports Evan through his mental and physical recuperation.  This portion of the book I found so touching.  Evan vows never to leave again, but his loyalty to his boss spurs him to take another job this time to Jordan.  Even though he knows he's breaking his promise to Colin and that Colin will not accept this decision lightly, he decides to leave anyway.  This leads to broken hearts all around including mine.Can he win Colin back or is this the end?  This story was so well written that it's impossible for the reader to choose sides.  Both characters are so sympathetic and you fall in love with both of them individually and as a couple.
