Ok, I liked this one a whole heck of a lot more than the first one. I felt like Aaron had much better reasons for being who and how he was, and he felt more real to me. It didn't feel like he was being stubborn just for the sake of being stubborn (which is how Cameron felt to me in Diving in Deep). I really enjoyed reading the relationship as it grew. There's a lot of sex, but it didn't feel like a PWP story to me. 3.5 stars, rounded up.
