Review: Sweet, but unrealistic pairing

Warning: This is a m/m book review and contains adult language and situations.Cambridge art professor Lawrence Morton was too drunk to realize that the huge man who helped him home was no threat, except perhaps to his heart. Al Fletcher was really a gentle giant, a good man from the working class who might be a little slow, but knows he and Larry can never be more than sex buddies. Their worlds are just too much apart. But as they spend more time together, Al even moving in with him, it gets harder to remember.This is a sweet love story that I enjoyed despite the absolute unreality of these two men making a go of it past the first few years. Maybe I'm getting old and cynical, but I don't believe love can conquer everything. But I have to admit that I'd love to see it happen with these two men. I particularly enjoyed learning about them from Al's point of view. 4 out of 5
