Review: Something different that kept me reading till the end

Sometimes there is just too much sweetness in the mm romance genre and I am glad a friend brought this one up in the mm romance thread. In the perfect romantic world  of mm romance Ryan and Joseph are improper characters, yet I find myself completely engrossed with their improper behaviour, no small reason due to the absorbing writing. There is just something darkly fascinating with the way Joseph seduced and ensnarled Ryan. Theirs is more like obsession than love even when the writer decided to inject the love word towards the end, which I find rather unfitting and disappointing that the writer feels the necessity to revert to the usual formula. Another little niggle is the revelation of Joseph's past which I thought is unnecessary drama and again the typical formula. But the writing, the flow of the plot just kept me reading from start to finish because I just need to find out what happen next. There is no dull moment in the plot. This is definitely not the last of these characters. However I am fine with the story ending the way it did. Recommended for those of us fed up with the usual corny sweetness and want a break in our favourite genre. And oh yes I will definitely be watching out for more stories from this writer.
