 Oh my goodness, this book was sooo goood. 
 This was a very interesting contemporary M/M romance novel. Daniel and Rex are perfection. They complemented each other beautifully. I mean, seriously, Rex is the perfect guy in every way. His flaws and experiences just added to the beautiful, strong, and caring man that he is. Daniel was the main character and the story was told from his POV. At first I thought he was annoying because he was never sure of himself when he talked, but I got used to it because it helped to shape the character that I envisioned him to be. While he is very smart with a PhD, he still has this insecurity and has a hard time expressing what it is that he's feeling and thinking. It made him seem like more of a real person. 
 Both Rex and Daniel have such a heartbreaking history. It fit perfectly into the people that they became. Roan created two beautiful characters and I loved learning about who they were and their relationship progressed throughout the story. Not to mention the extra steamy sex scenes(not for everyone). 
 This was a beautifully written debut novel by Roan Parrish with characters fighting through their own insecurities and pain to find their happiness. 
 Warning: This book is not for everyone. It deals with M/M romance and the hardship that comes with that lifestyle. There are also some intense and explicit sex scenes.
