Review: The grieving angle is just emotionally overwhelming but..
Rating: 4 out of 5

Mixed feelings about this one, with beautifully written chapters and only so so towards the end. Chapters where Quinn grieves for his dead lover of 10 years plus is totally absorbing. Scenes and phases which have me all teary eyed, the emotions overwhelming, certain parts hitting too close to home. Will not be surprised if the writer has gone through such a stage herself. The problem I have with the plot is the same old formula of almost instant love between Quinn and Brady. Surely Quinn needs more time to know Brady after such a loving 10 years plus relationship with Aaron, who by all that has been said is a devoted and indulging partner. Even if Brady is such a great guy, actually too perfect to be realistic. Maybe the writer wants to tune down the angst. The plot is also rather flat and sort of drags once the guys commit to their relationship. I can so easily see this story ends with Quinn at Aaron's grave, but this time with Brady, saying a true goodbye, without the intrusion of Brady's family and more "ohs and ahs" with the lesbian couple. Good writing style and will be looking out for more from this writer, whom I noticed did write in collaboration in past paranormal romances.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
