2.5-3 stars - An okay read. Your mileage will really vary on how much you LOVE controlling alpha characters. Like, really controlling.For me, I thought Cal was sweet. Ford came off very pushy. Caring, but pushy and controlling. You know, the kind of guy who's all, "You better not look at another man" or who is in general monitoring your movements. (Which is helpful if you get kidnapped a lot, like Cal does, but still.)For me, if this had been an m/f romance, and Cal's character was the woman, I would have hated this book, and not found Cal's surrender to Ford's domineering and demanding ways sexy at all. Even without the gender issues, I found it just an okay read. The narrative is a little jumpy as things are dropped in (bank robberies, past tragic loss, sudden appearance of virginity, etc.) and I wasn't really buying the story or the character's progression.If very controlling alpha characters don't bother you though, this may work for you. It wasn't for me though.Probably my favorite things were the neat Lake District setting (it sounds beautiful), Cal's resilience during his kidnappings, reading about what goes into mountain rescues, and Ford's cute border collie.
