If the love of your life appears six years after breaking your heart, do you give him a second chance? That's the question Noah is considering when his ex-husband and father of their child shows up unexpectedly. Although Dante broke Noah's heart year ago, Noah can't help the love he still feels. Although he knows it's fast and overwhelming, Noah can't quite stop the hope that he and Dante can live happily ever after this time.Again is a very sweet, uncomplicated romance. The plot depends on the well known "big misunderstanding" trope. Some readers are fans of this while others don't always appreciate this particular theme. In Again, it's used with a very heavy hand so for those readers that are sticklers for believability, this story may not work as well. For readers that are more forgiving for the sake of romance, then the use of this familiar and well-used theme may not bother so much. I'm between the two and while I can usually suspend disbelief enough to get into the story, I did find that much of the supposed tension between the men was unbelievable.However if you can get beyond that issue, the story is a sweet, easy romance about two men who reconnect after years apart. There is no real tension or question of the two getting back together. The characters aren't quite three-dimensional and come off slightly predictable. Dante streamrolls his way over Noah, who seems to lack any courage to stand up for himself. They're definitely cute together and well suited but not always the most likable couple. There are several secondary characters that appear briefly on page that add a bit of humor and context to the story.Overall this is a very classic romance without a lot of depth. It's not poorly written but it's not a truly memorable story either. It's an easy read for those wanting something uncomplicated, sweet, and amusing.Originally posted at Whipped Cream Reviews
