Speechless. This must be one of my favorite couples written by Josh Lanyon. This is not a review, it's me raving. I love Mark and Stephen. I like Stephen because he's an older protagonist, he's one of those gorgeous men of fifty who have nothing to prove anymore, who have seen their shares of events, who are sane and there. Paired up with a younger guy like Mark, who is sort of unreliable because of the circumstances and who's still insecure of his lover's affection, oh.my.god... it's the potential for a gut-wrenching story.In this story Josh doesn't only write about this couple and what happens to them around Christmas time, he does more, he paints all the shades of trust in a relationship: demanded, given, betrayed, misunderstood, wasted. Trust between lovers committed to a relationship. Trust between people committed to a cause. And it declines all the shades of forgiveness based on understanding and acceptance of what can't be changed.To say I loved this is an understatement. Best way to spend the first hour of Christmas night.
