Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 5/10PROS:- Kurt’s innocence and eagerness are charming. And I liked that August isn’t shy about showing how much he appreciates those qualities in Kurt.- If you’re not familiar with this author’s Hammer series, you might find the closeness of all the secondary characters a bit schmaltzy and unrealistic, but I thought August’s interactions with his friends were cute.CONS:- I’m the first to admit to being a fan of the Hammer series, and a lot of the stories contain an element of love at first sight. Here, though, everything happened way too fast for me to come even close to believing it. The guys have known each other less than 10 minutes before August is thinking of Kurt as “his boy.”- We don’t get to see much beyond their first night together, and that is focused very much on their physical chemistry rather than anything deeper.Overall comments: This has a couple of sweet moments, a couple of sexy moments, and the start of what could be a real connection. It’s just the very start, though, which left me wanting much more. I suppose I shouldn’t have expected too much from a story that’s only 848 Kindle locations, but overall I felt slightly disappointed by this one.
