I can say I'm now a fan of Mia Downings, and I will most definitely be checking out books of hers from now on. This was so much more than a m/m story focusing on the eroticism and the act itself. It was about finding your way. Taking chances. Learning to live. Building a friendship in the least likely of circumstances. Dealing with grief. Stepping out of your comfort zone. Feeling pleasure deeper than for pleasures sake. It was just an awesome story, period.The circumstances that bring Jordan to the island are tragic yet funny. The loved one he lost unknowingly set him up on the path to fate, leading him to Ryan. The chemistry these two have is scorching and only gets better throughout the book. But below the surface of the five alarm panty fire sex, you see the foundation of their relationship build and grow...business partners, friends, lovers...it was so much better than the insta-love that is overplayed in a lot of books. It was real...it took some time. I have to say what sealed the deal in my heart for these two was the reference to Jordan "coming home". It's a great m/m read that has a perfect balance between the sex element and the actual story itself feeling real. Loved it!I sooooo wanted an epilogue. I wanted to see where Jordan and Ryan are 6 months to a year from when the story ended, but I was so happy with the read, it doesn't matter!
