The book did make me laugh in a few places, and there was one place where it did hit my heartstrings (the note scene), but I was hoping for a bit more from all the 5 star reviews... 
 I was barely able to make it through this read. It was a trudging battle between my refusal to DNF a book and the slow, repetitive nature of the storyline. Still, I am going to give it three stars, because while it was not the most enjoyable read for me, there were some things I did like. 
 I did like Jace's character, his background, what he was able to build for himself. I liked little pieces of their romance, like Colt's overzealous nature and some of their bantering was hilarious. The last third of the book was the most enjoyable for me, while the middle dragged and the beginning was a strange mix of unrealistic awkwardness, hot heat, and a sad twist. 
 What didn't work for me mostly came down to style and presentation. 
 The writing, to me, was clunky. There was much page skimming to get to the actual story, and most of it was Telling and not Showing. I was told the story instead of being shown the story, or being allowed to participate in the story. There was almost no connection between myself and the characters. Jace was probably the only character I ever had any sort of emotional connection to. Colt, at most times, felt awkward and a bit unrealistic. 
 There was never a reason given for Colt's love for Jace. Yes, love doesn't always need a reason, but there just wasn't anything provided as a backdrop for it, aside from Colt possibly being a creepy stalker and a little obsessive possessive. Jace's feelings were more understandable and easier to connect to. Jace's insta-forgiveness was also hard to swallow.
