I’m completely in love with this story of Duncan Peters and Rubin Miller! Although Rubin’s name is not part of the title, it is as much his story as it is Duncan’s.They are best mates, ever since they met at university. They’re academically gifted and take the same paths of study. They both go through officer training together for SAS. They serve side-by-side in the military. And they always have each other’s backs. Best. Friends. When one is down, the other one picks him up. When one experiences highs, the other one leads the celebration. When something happens to one, the other feels it just as deeply. Brothers from different mothers. But even though they walk parallel paths, their personalities are quite different. Duncan is more reserved, solitary, cerebral and understated. Rubin lives outloud. He embraces life by the balls and wrings every last drop from them. He works hard and plays harder. There’s nothing that can’t be solved by a good bounce between the sheets, multiple times if possible. And with his hard body, blue-eyed good looks, Scottish brogue and roguish ways, women don’t stand a chance around him. Throw into the mix Duncan’s dark and brooding good looks, and many a hot sex-filled night ensues. Seriously. These men are freakin’ hot! I kept wishing for an invitation to attend the same parties they did, just to catch a glimpse of them in action. But even for as much as they play together, there is so much more to their story.Dragonflies is ultimately a story about deep friendship. Think about the most meaningful friendship(s) in your life, and that is what Ms. Fontien provides with this story. You are beautifully swept along from point-to-point in their lives, and I am grateful that it isn’t all hearts and chocolates along the way. There’s grit and heartache and aggravation. Sometimes I wanted to shake them stupid to get them to see their mistakes. But that’s kind of how real life works, too, so I cheered for those feelings. There are always bumps and potholes to navigate in life, but that’s what makes experiencing the happiness and love that much sweeter. This book gave me an overwhelmingcase of the feels. Absolutely loved it!
