Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 6/10PROS:- Jay's a sweet guy who's down on his luck, and Drake has a definite air of "savior" about him. I read the story eagerly, wanting to see them finally together and happy. (see cons below also)- I love it when one person has been stuck on someone forever and has just about decided that it's never going to work when the other guy finally comes around and decides to woo him.- There's a bit of back-and-forth movement to the men's feelings about each other that gave me the impression throughout the story of two ships passing in the night. It provides a nice bit of buildup to the relationship and creates some drama that's just right for the story: enough to add some tension, but not too painful to read.CONS:- I didn't quite believe in the connection between the two guys, probably because the story is so short and Drake's opinion of Jay at the beginning is that he "adored Jay, he really did, but sometimes it took an extreme amount of patience to deal with the brat." For me, that didn't bode well for a relationship that had only 735 Kindle locations in which to develop.- The majority of the secondary characters are jerks. There's the co-worker who tries to pressure Jay into buying something he can't afford, the sister who guilts him into passing around his nephew's fundraising brochure by threatening that one of her husband's brothers will be the "better uncle," the ex-boyfriend who uses Drake for sex when he's had a fight with his current lover, etc.Overall comments: I'm writing this review about a week and a half after having finished the story, and I had a heck of a time remembering many details. It's a cute story, and I thought it was worth an hour or two of my time, but it certainly didn't stick with me.
