Do you see what I am saying?"Ethan was abandoned by Aiden, the young man he had just kissed and admitted his love for.

He obviously loved Ethan and was prepared to put his himself out there to win him back.The chemistry between the men was obvious and the sex was spectacular but what I really liked was the emotional pull.I liked the secondary characters, particularly Aidan's little brother Devlin. Devlin spluttered, "B-but I'm not just supporting my brother; I really am gay." "Hell son," Pete gave Devlin a noogie, "sure you are. We all are. I'm as gay as the day is long."
