Review: Making A Relationship Work When Their Jobs Are So Demanding- Nice Read

The format of the story follows a couple through the first year to year and a half of the time from their first meeting to the establishment of them as a couple and bounces between both their points of view.  This might sound like a ho-hum type of story until one takes into account that one is an ER doctor in a hospital on the edge of the poor side of town and his lover is an undercover narcotics cop.The story of Chris and Drew is a sweet low-angst story between two guys who find their own slice of happiness and work to make a go of a relationship that is made difficult by demanding jobs not just in time, but in stress on the mind and body.  I really enjoyed watching the story develop from the moment Drew meets Chris over the body of a gang kid that Drew has brought in and Chris could not save.  Drew sees an attractive man who puts his heart into his job and Chris sees the same.  They start out tentatively.  They see each other's needs very well, but have trouble seeing their own so it can be a bit rough as they adjust.  All this is broken up by Drew's dangerous job catching up to him and Chris' also becomes victim to an act of violence at one point.  But the thing that truly terrifies the guys are the meet the parents moments.  If they can survive that, they can survive anything.It was a very enjoyable easy read for me and I truly enjoyed the characters and their interactions.  I would recommend to the m/m romance fan who likes slow build on the relationships with little moments of excitement.
