Writer Greg Falkner has written a screenplay, which has finally been turned into a motion picture. It's written based on the life of him and his longtime love and partner, Aaron Blake. Greg's not allowed Aaron to read his masterpiece. What's more, he still hasn't outed himself to the public at large. Aaron is usually a patient man, but his patience is wearing thin and he's realizing that sometimes if you love someone, you have to set him free. Both men show up at the movie premier, with Greg's insistence that he be trusted...and the movie begins.The story begins while the two are in high school. There, Grey Falkner is a mystery. At least, he is to Aaron Blake. As his academy roommate, he's tried many times to get to know the sullen guy, but Greg just won't open up. After a brutal fight, an uneasy truce turns into a startling night of passion. They try to keep their feelings a secret from the rest of their classmates, even insisting to each other that they're not gay. They're quickly falling into love, which will prove to either be their salvation or their destruction.Not usually a fan of m/m romances, having read Tibby Armstrong's first story, I opted to read this one as well. By the end of the story I had cried like a child and squealed as if I'd won the lottery. Aaron and Greg are such an amazing duo. With Greg's dark brooding and Aaron's fierce dominance, their passion singed the ink right off the proverbial pages. The depth of these characters was so full and lush, their conflicts so believable, I found myself fully drawn into the story, unable to pull myself away. It was a little difficult discerning the difference between the movie and their real lives at times, which if anything would be my only complaint. Ms. Armstrong really outdid herself with this wonderful story and she's quickly becoming a must-read author for me.Courtesy of Fallen Angel Reviews ([...])
