I have to say that this book is one of my favorites of all time. I purchased it quite some time ago but I have found myself returning to it every few weeks .... either reading a favorite passage or (more often) the entire thing. There is nothing earth shattering or suspensful hidden within the pages .... it's less like a shot of Petron (heh) and more like a fine wine. Smooth and mellow but full of hidden depth and flavor. The beauty is in the genuine caring, consideration, friendship and heart that is woven throughout the story.The plot revolves around the sexy and fun loving Kieran and the sweet virginal Alex. Set up on a last minute "blind date of sorts", the two men just seem to move fairly quickly towards a mutual friends with bennies relationship. There are a few bumps along the way but they actually <gasp> communicate and work things out together. Alex will get to experience all the joys of being gay and out with someone experinced and patient and Kieran gets the pleasures of Alex in all his innocent glory. It's a win win for everyone. Things do move a bit slower towards the middle of the book but for me that was part of it's charm. Not every relationship (real or imagined) moves at the speed of light. I liked the slow burn. The longing that the men were feeling. The toe curling anticipation of pleasures to come. The guys and the journey they took to reach their HEA was charmingly beautiful and worth every penny!It is worth mentioning that this is second in what may not be a "series" but shares charecters and background. I never did read the previous book where we first meet Kieran (the Distance Between Us) because menage stories are not really my thing, however in my opinion, this book works quite well as a stand alone. There are refrences to the previous book but I was able to enjoy this story without feeling like I was missing anything. The length of this book was just right and I adored the epiloge ... just enough to put a smile on my face and keep me from longing for more (though I can still hope right?) .. So if your looking for something hot, sweet and pretty much angst free .... buy this book .... you won't be sorry!
