This is the story of two men who have been best friends since their university years. They are now settled in their careers. Colin is an English professor at Oxford Uni, and Evan is a war correspondent for a newspaper. They have always had girlfriends, they present themselves as straight, and Colin is even a bit of a womaniser, though he has been secretly in love with his best friend for years.After ten years of friendship, they become lovers. But the two men will have some hard, hard times before finding the right balance in their relationship. Most of the drama is caused by Evan's job and Evan's newness at a serious relationship.They are many good things in this book: it is well written, the plot is great, the description of the highs and lows of being a war correspondent is well done, the characters are great and well matched, and the chemistry between the heroes is perfect.And the best thing about this book? The conflicts. They were convincing, well-thought, well executed, the actions/reactions of the two MC during the conflicts were proportionate, believable.Great read!
