Crossing Borders (2008) - Plot & Excerpts

I loved this book - it's simply gorgeous. Don't let the cover put you off - it's not about a much older man a very young boy. The book is about a cop in his twenties- 'officer Helmet' and a young man at college - 'sparky'.The author creates wonderful characters who you fall for easily and we revel in those characters falling in love.I don't think I've ever read a book with such a wonderful, headlong rush into falling in love. The author also avoided a lot of cliches. She could easily have made the older, more muscular cop a dominating sexual partner and she didn't. These guys explored their relationship and their sexuality in a way that wasn't cliched.It's a love letter to love itself, and that's why I enjoyed it so much and why I give it five stars. I'm not sure if it's the cover, or the attraction started with Michael and not Tristan. But for a long time I wasn't feeling the connection. It was a hard sell. 28 year old cop, and a GFY 18 year old. Personally I liked Tristan's character. I loved that while it was a sweet insta-love type of book he had multiple dimensions to him. He was more than just Michael's. There's a lot of passion between them and thus book didn't skip on it! I'm gonna look into more of this series.
