I had pretty low expectations for this book, but gave it a try. It actually was very good without being stereotypical. Chris has a high pressure job as a trauma surgeon. While at work he meets Vice cop Drew, who often works undercover and is a control freak as well. Both see the relationship as a convenience at first, but soon they realize it's much more. There isn't alot of romance angst, with break-ups and arguments. But these are both strong men who can survive on their own, they just realize life is better when they are together.The interesting part is that neither fall to type by being jerks or trying to take over each others lives. It feels like an honest to goodness romance between two men who don't know how to take the time to nurture a relationship. Neither thinks it will last and are constantly surprised they are going strong. When either is hurt or in trouble, the other is there to support and help.I think I really liked this novel so much because both men had strong identities outside of each other. They didn't rely on each other to complete them or to validate them.
