Review: Some things you don't get over but learn how to live with ....
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 5, 2013
This tale of severe trauma and its aftereffects were saliently expressed by the author. The suspense of the flashbacks and coming back to the now were skillfully done. I kept on my seat wondering what happens in the next flashback. The interesting aspect of this story is how trauma brings out other underlying disorders creating other issues. The important message I drew from this story is understanding that some things can't be fixed. Instead, one learns how to heal.Our two main characters(Cam and Austin) were an interesting pair. They were likable, humorous and bizarre. Definitely, their connection was understandably despite the appearance of neediness. I did appreciate an author who when two males "get together" there is an option to demonstrate versatility. A lot of m/m romances portray a male couple as either top or bottom as if its the only option.So, why didn't I give this book a higher rating than 3 stars? Frankly, I object to a writer who has to rub my face in endless details of sexual performance. It verges on the obscene taking away decent imagination. Come on, can't you gently infer lovemaking giving it a noble expression?  I look askance at  the widespread belief by many m/m authors that the reader demands erotic titillation. Personally, I don't think so. Anyhow, I  still say the subject itself is worth the read.
