This book was every bit as well written as Faith and Fidelity. I loved the characters, loved their interactions and loved the little insecurities that they tried to cover up, being big macho men. The plot here was a little less intense than Ethan and Matt's situation in Faith and Fidelity and therefore I wasn't driven to tears, but I see that as a strength. Here is an author who doesn't feel the need to make everything incredible dramatic. This is a love story about two people (who happen to be guys) who's paths cross and discover that despite their initial assumptions have something worth pursuing. The Jim Shea we meet in Faith & Fidelity bears little resemblance to the Jim Shea in this book. This is a good thing as this Jim is much more likeable and relatable.I enjoyed the romance between Jim and Griffin. There was no overly dramatic moments intended to create tension, eventhough I was braced for it. Instead, I got a beautiful, comfortable relationship that grows from love and trust. It was a joy to read.I felt the situation with Daisy was underutilised. Towards the end, that aspect of Griffin's life seemed to have been suddenly brushed aside without any warning and felt unresolved. I felt that was a shame.Overall a good read.
What do You think about Love & Loyalty (2009)?
3 1/2 stars. Took a little longer to get going with this one, but still a good story.
