Warning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS.Rating: 7/10PROS:- The sex scenes are incredibly hot...and I'm honestly not sure how the author managed to make me think that. The characters aren't all that deep because of how short the story is, and they jump right into bed together, which I'm not typically a fan of. But there's something very primal about the sex scenes. Definitely re-readable for me.- Both guys are super macho and sexy, and I expected them to be uber-confident as well. That's true in some ways, but I loved that Gavin is so awkward and uncertain of himself when it comes to his attraction to other men.- The sexual stereotypes that are present in many m/m stories are absent here.- I like that the men here don't live in a perfect little fantasy bubble where everything's peachy all the time. They struggle with bigotry at work, but they deal with it. And we don't have to see too much of it firsthand, which I appreciated.CONS:- Occasionally the language stepped over the too-flowery-for-my-taste line (referring to a certain bodily fluid as "nectar of the gods," for example, or to a pair of eyes as "aquamarine orbs").- The final sex scene, while technically hot like the others, made me just a bit uneasy because one of the things that Gavin does is done without Brad's permission. And when Brad asks him to stop--multiple times--Gavin doesn't.Overall comments: There's not much going on here other than the romance; it doesn't have a gripping plot or amazing characterization or an unusual setting. But it's a nice little story. Likeable characters, lots of hot bedroom action (with a slight D/s slant), and a sweet ending.
