I hate that I didn't love this book.  Anne's other books were joys to read.  This one, while OK overall, was short, rushed and unbelievable.  I like it when writers of m/m romances take a chance and think outside the box with their storylines.  Paul and Trevor's backstory is definitely unique, and I was excited to see an author of Anne's talent tackle it.  However, the story never quite gelled for me from the start.Some of my major sticking points were Paul's rather quick forgiveness for what Trevor had done when they were kids.  It seemed to happen way too fast considering all of Paul's animosity portrayed over two books.  Also, as written, Paul's not really a likable character.  He grows (a little) over the course of events.  But in the end...he's pretty much a douchebag.  I honestly wanted Trevor to end up with Toby :-)As always, I loved Anne's touches of humor (although they were few and far between in this book).  I also enjoyed the reappearance of the Sebastian and Brad from "Toppy..."  But these points weren't enough to save a story that could have benefited from more thought, and given more time to develop.Not recommended.
