The cover was the draw, because it really is a fabulous cover, and I was intrigued by the concept of the straight guy going after the gay guy and wanted to see how that all would play out. So I took a leap of faith and while my Libra sensibilities came to the fore (meaning waffling over an issue) in the end I really enjoyed the story and the characters. 
 To say that Ansel has had a rough life is an understatement. Realizing that he was gay at a young age he accepted it and ran with it, unfortunately those around him didn't. Knowing he couldn't live in that hell anymore he left his old life behind to make a new one for himself. My heart broke for what Ansel went through and yet I couldn't help but admire him at the same time. He knows exactly who he is and lets it be known that he's comfortable in his own skin. This isn't to say that he doesn't have his insecurities because he and copes with in some very self destructive ways, but his sassyness and blunt nature blur those lines and made him that much more intriguing. 
 Fitch is the steady, hardworking blue collar guy. He comes from a loving home and is a great big brother, to say he'd do anything for them is an understatement. He has a good sense of who he is and while he may have internal struggles he doesn't overreact. He thinks things through and follows his gut whenever possible. It was so hard to not like Fitch. The guy is just solid, in every way, sweet and caring. He's that guy you'd want at your back when things get crazy and the one you know you can turn to when you need someone to talk things out with. 
 Straight up Fitch and Ansel were smoking hot together! Their relationship starts out with some major insta-lust going on between them, but then it turned into so much more. They did get to know each other and see beyond the surface and both found that they actually fit well together in more ways that they could have ever thought. I loved their bantering and how they slowly brought each other into their lives. There were quite a few bumps in the road and dealing with them wasn't always pretty but they did, 
 Now, as much as I loved them together I did have a Libra moment ~ the whole thing about Libra's being indecisive is true in my world.. In some ways it felt as if it was too easy for Fitch to accept that he was attracted to a man when he'd never been before, this isn't to say that he didn't struggle, but there was a part of me that wanted a little more angst. But as things progressed and I got to know Fitch better I found that I was good with how he embraced the fact that he was attracted Ansel, he had his insecurities, but I loved how open, honest and sweet he was about it all and in the end I was really happy that they got their HEA. 
 I found the writing style to be engaging and the story to be well paced. The dual 3rd person POV was well done and I really enjoyed being in both Ansel and Fitch's heads as they danced around each other. There are quite a few issues that come into play in the book, abuse and discrimination being the main ones, and I thought they were handled well. And then there is the supporting cast of characters. I loved Meg, Fitch's sister, and his parents, but I adored the Sassy Boyz. I would seriously love to be their friend. They have such vibrant and distinct personalities and the hints of their past make me want to know more about them and will definitely be on the lookout for the next in series!
