It feels so great to read a story that although it deals with a complex subject matter, the authors manage to make it a light sensual read that leaves the reader wanting so much more from the characters.I loved Malachi. I admired his integrity, his maturity and the way he let go of himself to explore his attraction to Aaron. Mostly I loved that his heart was in the right place and that he never lost his head.Aaron was a great character too. You had to admired the great lengths he went to make his son a priority. It was great to see how frustrated he became when confronted with Malachi's presence. He tried so very hard to fight the attraction he felt to Malachi. But maybe if that was all they shared, it could have been easier. But it wasn't. Although his connection to Malachi progressed over the course of the story, it was always an ever present entity--taunting him, challenging him until he relented.I have to hand it to the authors, their work was one packed full of the elements I have come to love from the genre. There was the deep connection that grew and strengthened with every interaction exchanged. The was the humor mixed in between and last but certainly not least were the emotions. From hesitation to acceptance all the way through joy and disappointment, the range in emotions was enough to bring forth the characters' state of mind to the surface without dragging the story down.As for chemistry, well that you just have to experience for yourself. That first encounter alone had so much tension that it made worth all the anticipation I experienced until it happened. Hot. Very, very HOT!All in all, a great romantic read with the unlikeliest of pairings but so very enjoyable.
