Love this series. Dillon and Hunter are both interesting characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, making them authentic instead of cut-outs. I started this series because I liked some of the other books by this author, but not without reservation. I am not typically a romance reader.However, the author isn't hemmed in by the "required formula" of what makes a romance, and for that I thank him. When every story is monogamous and every story is guaranteed an HEA...and every story has the same on again off again theme, I just can't understand buying virtually the same story over and over, just different titles.This romance series isn't that. It is fresh, different, and real. I love that rules were broken and the two men were allowed to love in their own way. I see that some in gay romance, but never in M/F. That's too bad. I would like to see m/f romance brought up to date and the fairy tale updated. People make mistakes. People sometimes cheat. People sometimes agree to not be monogamous. Romances don't always work out. Don't get me wrong. Not all of that happens here. The story is just told in a way that doesn't force the two men into roles that are unrealistic, but instead allows them to breathe.The sex is extremely graphic. For me, that fit the story and was perfect. If that bothers you, keep your smelling salts nearby. :)Pretty cool stuff.
