This review will be posted to [...] on 7/29/13.I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.I've read several M/M books lately and have fallen in love with this genre.  I think it's especially hard for authors in this genre to get noticed.  That's why I have been helping to pimp them out!  I recently told someone that my motto for the last 23 years has been "You can't help who you fall in love with".  Whether this person is a different race or the same sex...should it matter?  Before I get on my soapbox, let me tell you about the book -Shane and Mathew!  Sigh..... these two are described as two very very hot guys and by the pics that Susan used as her inspiration...oh yes, they are.Mathew has been through a lot and feels like he doesn't deserve to find true love after the death of his husband.  But by helping a friend, he finds that he is attracted to Shane.  Shane feels an instant connection to Mathew.  Mathew fights and fights his feelings.  They finally get together (oh the hotness just oozes off the pages!!! - you may want to be careful reading some of these scenes in public)!!  They have many circumstances that get between them, but like they say Love Conquers All!!There are many emotions that you will go through!!  But tough it out and read the whole thing.  I was sobbing happy tears by the end...yep, I'm a sucker for a happy ending!!Overall Rating:  5 starsHero Hotness:  5 stars (for both of them)Heroine Hotness:  naLovableness of couple: 5 starsTearjerker: 4 starsStory Depth:  4 starsStory Plot:  4 starsPublished July 2013* Would I read future books by this author:  Yes* Was there a cliffhanger:  no* Do I love the characters: Yes* Do I want more of their story:  yes* Is this part of a series:  no
