Review: Better written than the average gay novel

If you suspend reality this debut offering from Indigo Wren is much better written than the average gay novel.  If anything at times a little overwritten.  The story's basic premise of unwitting kidnap to a desert island is implausible to say the least  but the way the two characters develop keeps involvement throughout.  Sex scenes are sensitive and not overly pure pornography.  The basic disconnect been the two protagonists and the unwillingness of David to really admit to his gay nature are well developed.  It does not give too much away to say that it all comes right in the end but the exploration of developing recognition of sexuality, the problems caused in a friendship when honest communication breaks down and the total inability of both main characters to simply communicate honestly with each other and well explored and grip.  Trivial maybe but a good read which is likely to keep the reader involved and keep the pages turning.
