2.5 stars 
 The Good: 
 - This book is well-written and well-researched. It's very obvious the author did her homework. 
 - It's free. 
 The Not-So-Good: 
 - A staggering amount of detailed descriptions of medical care for Daren. 
 - It focused a little too much on the hurt/comfort aspect rather than the emotions behind it. I did not feel the bond between the two men, nor did I believe in their romance. 
 - I desperately needed Daren's POV. 
 - There's understandably very little sex. Unfortunately, frottage and a couple of handjobs just don't cut it for me these days. 
 - It has a tentative HFN ending with lots of loose ends.
