This was a nice read by new-to-me author S.A. McAuley. I think this was at one point two stories that has since been merged together to make one book. I can't imagine a logical break point in the story so I'm happy that it was reworked into one cohesive work.Do you like geeky boys and hot men with disabilities? If so, this story is for you. I really dug the character of Alex. He is a Maker geek, designing a technologically advanced robot, and has little time for a personal life. I had never heard of the "Maker" movement, but it isn't hard to follow along with the story if you haven't either. I happen to have a weakness for geeky men (my husband is a computer nerd!) so I automatically get all squishy inside when I read about hot geeks looking for their HEA. I also liked the character of Christian, the hot ad exec has trouble opening up after his accident. He was a character with a lot of potential and a past that I wanted to know more about.What do I wish the author had done differently? Well, I would have liked more buildup to the romance. Things moved along quite briskly for the two guys, which isn't really my taste. I also wanted to know much more about Christian's emotional scars from his accident. For someone who claims that he has problems with intimacy, I was surprised at how quickly and easily he trusted Alex. I just could have used more tension there, more deep emotions.I think overall this was a very enjoyable story and I am pumped to see what this author can come up with for our guys next. I also am extremely curious about Micah's relationship. I could use a whole story about how that came to be!**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
