This one has so much more than the usual boy meet boy, romance/sex, conflict and hea. There is a gem of a little story within the main story itself. Romance while marooned on an island is kind of old fashion but I like the idea and here the writer has done a great job developing the relationship between Rick, a hunk of a pilot and ex-military to boot, and David, a delightful hollywood guy with a little self deprecating. I enjoy their banter, the simmering tension bordering on the start of something called romance between these two guys. I also like their little adventure on the island as they strive to survive with little food. Rick being hurt certainly adds to their predicament.Then there is that little story within the present story, a dream evoked because of David's job and predicament. Man! I really cried myself out reading the chapter named interlude by the writer. This haunting and beautiful little story of forbidden love during WWII between a scientist and an American pilot in the RAF is just heart wrenching and poignant. A true gem of a story and really up this book for me. The story of Mac and Sutt will stick with me for a long time, as much as the WWII setting where these brave boys fight for freedom in the skies, their young precious lives doused before their time. Truly memorable and the writer's details add so much authencity to it that this little gem of a story or dream easily outweigh the main story.Still I do enjoy the main story as both Rick and David are very likable and I just want them to be together as they dance around each other, more like David dancing around the stoic Rick and waving his arms infront of the hunk. Their first sex scene is nice. Maybe the ending is a bit too convenient but on the other hand I do like the direction these two are heading. Great stuff Sarah Madison!
