I'm glad I stumbled over this book through Goodreads, I really enjoyed the characters and the angst in the book.  The book started out very strong but was a little weak in the middle for me.  Both Jeremy and Rafe are two hot manly guys in the beginning but somewhere in the middle I felt Jeremy changed a bit too much from how he was set up in the beginning.  He became a bit too weepy for me. I don't mind a guy showing vulnerability, but I think it was a little too much with all the tears. Some tears I'm fine with but sometimes it just goes overboard. I sometimes wondered if I was reading about the same guy.The strong chemistry between Rafe and Jeremy was spot on but I really would have liked a bit more of the physical relationship explored instead of the fade two black on the love scenes/sex.  I mean, come on, the guys first sexual encounter with another male and we get very little, pretty much just foreplay.  This should have been a major event in the book and it just fizzled.  That pretty much held the course for the rest of the book. Nice foreplay but nothing really hot. Because of the great chemistry between these two characters, had that been explored more and the love scenes fully developed, the book could have been 5 stars for me.  To me leaving that out was what made this a good book but not a great book.  More lovin and more hotness but only when great chemistry is evident. Which it was here.
