Review: An All-Time Favorite
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is one of my all-time favorite books.  I gave it five stars because that is the most I can award this story, but it is one of a half dozen or fewer gay romances that I have read that I put above and beyond rating, along with "Bareback" by Chris Owen and a few others.I want a good story to have strong, admirable yet credible characters as protagonists, and this one has two magnificently flawed stars, both of whom make mistakes, fail each other in ways both small and great, yet love each other with a burning, once-in-a-lifetime passion that can't allow either to forget the other.  It also has several other important and memorable characters (some of which Ms. Dane highlights in other books), one of which makes a huge impact on the story near the end with her advice to one of the characters, which placed what looked like a complicated and difficult to resolve conflict into stark and simple reality.I loved the story, the characters, the plotline, the conflict, the credibility of all of the above.  I have read this story multiple times and will read it again.  If you are looking for a gripping gay romance with all the elements of a good story that will hold your attention to the end, grab this one and ride.
