I must admit, I loved this story and rooted for the characters to get together. Like most people, I love a good second-chance novel.The two MCs broke up their relationship when Alex walked away before the constant fighting would tear them both apart. But, unfortunately, both spend the next year apart, pining for one another. This is the story of how they get back together, and some of the debris they leave behind in the process.It was pretty well-written, with some fairly hot sex scenes mixed into the will-they-or-won't-they plot. The characters were both engaging and very real but, unfortunately, not very vivid. We know their height, but we know almost nothing else about what they look like except, of course, as M/M heroes, they both are gorgeous. That made it very hard to visualize the characters.They shared a house when they were together and we only know two things about it - that it was two-story and had an ugly green chair. And that's more than we know about the several other locations in the book, both in Lincoln, Nebraska and Dallas Texas. The author dwelled on the dynamics of the relationship and probably shortchanged the settings and descriptions.Let's hope she fixes that in the next book. This was a story of a love that was both destined and, in the words of one of the secondary characters, "epic", which makes for a great read.I look forward to whatever Ms. Rose comes up with next.
