Review: So close...

Wow, the first sex scene was electric for me, the details around the encounter putting it out there what these characters' personalities are like, the crumpled card at the end of the scene proving Gabriel wasn't going to just swoon into love. Their dangerous jobs set up an awesome background for the play out of their interactions. I loved the opposites; Miguel the older, slower lover teaching his firecracker of a lover to savor things, Gabriel the race-to-the-end and devour life younger man. The scene in the bedroom with the shot glasses was erotic and delicious, showing just how much work Miguel had ahead of him in drawing his elusive lover in close. Then something happens and utterly, irrevocably changes their relationship. It turned a spicy fire connection into a mellow warmth for the latter part of the book and left me feeling like I started out reading one book and ended in another not so thrilling.
