This is a very tender love story between two damaged men. Tanner's life has been hard the last two years and his most recent experience has left him broken inside and out. Mason, like Tanner, has been through a lot , but unlike Tanner, his experience is still continuing because of his father. While I loved Tanner, I loved and hated Mason. The things he allowed his father to get away with were just horrible. I cannot even begin to imagine living with someone that hateful, especially a parent. I'm not sure if I think he's strong or weak to allow his family to use him the way they did, but I do know his father is rotting in hell. I don't know that if enduring what he did made him a better man, because I think he was a good man to begin with. I hated Mason's sister and I think the author describing her as "spitfire" instead of "b**ch" was generous. She, like her father, just used Mason. She knew, before she called him home to take care of their father, that their father had gone beyound just kicking Mason out as a teenager to show how much he hated him. As the only child he acknowledged and loved by their father, it was her responsibility, and ONLY her responsibility, to take of him. Mason and Tanner slowly falling in love was sweet and the times they were together were beautiful. Being in Tanner's head was an awesome experience. I'm glad that Mason and Tanner got their HEA, as some of the things they went through were cringe-worthy, but I would not have endured what Mason did for an evil father and a disgusting sister.
