I was doing a buddy read for this book, but I was a bad buddy and read it WAY too fast. But in my defense, there should be a warning on this book saying: CAN'T PUT DOWN ONCE PICKED UP! I read it all in one go, absolutely loved it. (It's 2AM now! Which says a lot) It was one of those heart-melting books that leaves you all gooey inside like a Scottish deep-fried Mars Bar. Though, I wish the cover was changed, because if the book wasn't suggested to me I would've bypassed it.Anyway, this is a truely romantic M/M read, where we start out with Bailey coming to prison and having to share a cell with the hardened Dane, who doesn't let anyone too close. They instantly get off on the wrong foot with each other because Bailey is openly gay and Dane doesn't like it, his paranoia getting the best of him. But as time goes by, and Bailey comes up against some rather nasty characters, Dane steps in as his protection, leading the other prisoners to believe Bailey is his, which at that point he isn't. But due to circumstances and things thrown at them, they start a real relationship which spans the course of five years, involving a lot of angst, desire, pushing away, making up, and one extremely determined Bailey, who refuses to let Dane go, as well as a really nice guard. All of this is portrayed from Dane's point of view, and it works perfectly, leaving you with a seamlessly written story - which I loved. It is a beautiful romance which will leave you all happy and going aahhh.
