Beautifully developed characters.  Every emotional note is on key.  Character growth is wonderful.  I love how one character speaks all his doubts about the relationship out loud, and from a position of strength and even trust.  (Telling your beloved Everything really is about trust and intimacy.)  This couple communicates!  So different from so much M/M, where failure to communicate manufactures some bogus drama/conflict, when just one person speaking up as if he was a mature adult would have avoided the trouble.  And there are additional scenes of warmth and love as a few secondary characters go through some of their own trials.  When our leads have the sex, get out your fan and stay near the fainting couch.  Gotta say one noticeable flaw.  It is a big deal in the real world when a boss initiates sex, or worse, a relationship, with an employee.  No matter how consensual.  Every supervisor knows this; an attorney in particular would know this because of the legal liabilities it creates.  Nonetheless, I was able to enjoy the story anyway because the setting was away from the office, and the intimate relationship (if not the professional one) was between equals.
