Ok this is a short read but this hurt/comfort story works and is time well spent after a hard day. Nice to just lose myself in this sweet romance for a short while. I have always liked this writer's often light and romantic stories but do find too much sex scenes in her work. It is a wonderful surprise indeed to find the sex reined in here. Jay is a twink with all the associated weakness yet adoring personality. Career and survival is not as important as the next scarf which catches his eyes. But he is such an endearing character and only wishes his next door neighbour to love him. Drake the homicide detective is the neighbour hunk who has relationship problem of his own. For a few minutes I just shake my head as this detective continues to be manipulated by his spoilt ex-lover. Then for sometime I just want to shake him as Drake continues to reject poor Jay. For such a short story, I thought the writer has conveyed her guys' feelings very well. I feel poor Jay's disappointment and pain. I feel Drake's rude awakening. Finally just a warm nice feeling as he is finally his. So the price is too much for such a short story but no complaint here. And 5 stars because it helps me to forget a lousy day for a while.
