Customer Reviews

Loved It!
I loved this book from start to finish.

When I got past the first few chapters, I did wonder if the story would be able to continue to be so good, all the way to page 371, but it did. It has all the elements of a good story, in my opinion. Believable characters who I actually cared about, angst, hot sex and excellent writing that never allowed the story to become stale. I enjoyed it so much, I have just ordered another book by Chris Owen.

PORN
I was bitterly disappointed when after a couple of chapters, realised the formula was the same, minimal dialogue, followed by maximum sex, like reading a porn film script. Minimal story line wrapped around chapter after chapter of well-written but gratuitous sex. Any discerning reader will be disappointed, however arousing it may be.

Do Not Miss This Book
I've read almost every gay novel written and run an extensive gay novel review website, and this is one of my all time favourites, although I believe the author had to originally self-publish. What is wrong with publishers? This book does the very rare thing of being able to cross over from blisteringly hot gay porn to a beautifully crafted, superbly written novel. I really can't fault this story; it satisfies on every level. The sex is overwhelmingly well written, and never repetitive, and it's sex between two beautiful men you will really care for and love. I sat up to the early hours of the morning with this one as I just could not put it down, so tense, so desperate for the love story to end happily. Of all the books I've reviewed on my site, this is the one I said I would like to have written myself.
Definitely an adult book, but buy and adore....
