I was given a free copy of this book by the author for an honest review.Ok so my heart broke on the first page before I even knew the main characters' name...then I was on pins and needles the rest of the book. But by the end my heart was mended and I was able to relax (thank goodness).For those who may think it is difficult being in a "non-traditional" relationship in this day and age think again...try having that same relationship in the 1800's. John and Tully were brave beyond words. I mean really, you are in an insane asylum for no other reason than being gay! And you don't let that stop you from following your heart...BRAVE! Or better yet your job is take care of a patient who suffers from this "affliction" knowing you have the same "affliction" and could easily go from guard to patient in a blink of an eye AND you still follow your heart...BRAVE!John is a patient who was voluntarily committed to be cured of his perversions. Tully is a gentle giant of an attendant who just wants to take care of the patients. They met when Tully had to restrain John after an episode and showed John the first real kindness he'd seen since being admitted. Over time their feelings for each other start to grow but of course with those growing feelings come growing problems. The fear of being caught is just one of the problems...What can I say forbidden love, murder, water torture oops I meant treatment. It's a good read try not to have a panic attack like I almost did :-)
