O-M-G - The Virgin & The Slut...so perfect.I didnt think anything could top the first book. This book is going straight to the 6 star & favourite shelves.Kieran has to be one of my all time favourite characters in the m/m genre. He is shamelessly promiscuous but in such a way that your happy for him. This book also completely fixes any of my concerns that I had about the first book.While in the first one I thought some emotional issues were not dealt with deeply enough. This book however sets up a solid understanding of why Kieran is a bit of slut. Its not that he cant be committed in a relationship (he never cheats) its just that he has been hurt in the past and he has seen many of the long term relationships around him fail. He is scared and the author completely makes me understand this very realistic fear.Alex is such a delight to read. He is a virgin but the author once again doesnt skimp on the emotional details. We explore WHY he is still a virgin and his very horrific teenage years (such an awful environment to grow up in) I also think that LA Witt treated his virginity in SUCH a wonderful and REALISTIC way.The sex - what can I say - ummmm - its a perfect mixture of porn and romance. It suits the story perfectly, to start with there is more (this is obvious because all virgins want to experiment) but then the sex turns more sweet as they start to fall for each other.I can keep raving about this book for another 2000 words, Hell I could write an essay on how much I love this book.I recommend this book and this series to EVERYONE It was wonderful seeing Kieran again, I really loved him in The Distance Between Us, and it was nice to see Ethan and Rhett doing so well, too. When Rhett and Ethan's daughter Sabrina asks Kieran to show her friend Alex around Seattle's gay scene, he decides why not? Maybe he'll even get laid.But then he meets Alex, and everything changes. A virgin in EVERY way, Alex is tootempting to Kieran, but he doesn't want to move too fast, and he does NOT want a relationship. Kieran isn't a commitment-phobe, as he keeps telling everyone, he is a getting dumped-phobe, and has seen so many relationships end badly that he's just not willing to risk the pain.It was cute how other people realized Kieran was in love before he did, and I was really glad we didn't have page after page of Kieran being a dumbass in his effort to not be hurt. This book was sweet and romantic, and ohmygod hot. LA Witt remains my go to author for the hottest, steamiest, most gotta have it now sex. Maybe now that I've finished the book, I can get that old country song out of my head. It's been driving me nuts for days.
What do You think about The Closer You Get (2011)?
An amazing, hot, wonderful, tender, emotional story. I loved it!
