Synopsis
New
York City Vise Detective Evan Cerelli has lost his wife, the only person he
ever loved and slept with. He’s trying to get on with his life, build a life
for his children. Former Homicide Detective Matt Haight is a ladies’ man, all
sex/no commitment. He’s depressed, having a midlife crisis, and not sure where
his life is headed.
The
two find friendship in the bottom of a shared bottle. When the friendship turns
to love, it shakes two straight men to the core and flips their lives inside
out. Kids, families, careers that are not gay-friendly—can all the love in the
world overcome the obstacles to faith and fidelity?
Thoughts
Not
only did this book hold my fav parts of men falling in lust/love with each
other it’s that both men are straight until this point.
It’s
a pace that could be both greatly written and can go horribly wrong.
This
one went.....
Well,
this book, to me, was heartbreaking and lovely and you should read it (the
petting and... lovemaking between the men is light), it’s about Evan waking up
and smelling the air after a long year of morning his wife.
It’s
also about Matt finally settling down.
What
I really liked about this book was the fact that the men coming to terms with
their feelings for each other was nothing.
—Matt
just giving up when the dreams got hotter and hotter by the week. And Even who
had fallen deeply in love with his wife at 16 gave a inward shrug and figured,
well, what did he know about his sexuality? He hadn’t really given it all that
much thought—
Yeah,
the facts of it were pushed into the front of Evan’s mind, mostly surrounding
his children, but it was more a way for him to destroy himself. And to run from
feelings of love that he couldn’t be having for someone other than his dead
wife.
Even
the people around them didn’t care, and to be honest with you, it was refreshing
that it wasn’t the point of the story when it could very well have been.
My
eyes welled up in a number of points throughout but I never full on cried,
though the welling went a paragraph, not so bad, a paragraph. (But this is me,
and I’m a crier). I also think that this would have hit harder if this hadn’t
been my third emotionally ridden book in the same amount of days.
I
really want that as a factor to what I said before....really.
I
also hope that the author was just brilliant in the emotional torment and rollercoaster
that went on threw this book, because it was awesome to read but it would have
been hard to write, even harder if it brought back memories.
It’s
a heavy book about the destruction one can do to their life when grief hits
hard. And if it wasn’t for loved ones, and or family, you can never come out of
its destruction. But this is an erotica romance (heavy on the romance) and
everything comes together at the end, leavening you feeling light and freer
than something this emotionally heavy read does.
And
yet, it’s choppy enough that you don’t have to send a lot of time in the destruction,
just enough to understand, sympathise and GET where he’s coming from, his
thoughts that come out as his words.
Matt
was a great character that was perfect match for Evan and his family, I absolutely
fell in love with him from the moment he stepped into that bar surround by cops
and looked at Evan wondering what was so special about him.
And
if I haven’t mentioned it. GREAT FUCKING READ. You should try it for yourself.
