Jonah and Dare are both damaged and coping in their own way. They reconnect and find coping together is better. I had no idea what either's secret was before I started reading (I hadn't read any reviews and there was no warning on the title) so be forewarned there is child sexual abuse discussed, thankfully not in horrific detail. But what isn't said is easily inferred. It is the re telling of the abuse that got to me. It wasn't graphic but you could feel the shame felt by both men, the fear and hatred they kept bottled up. I liked that these two were able to help heal each other but that sex wasn't used as a "cure" I liked that the supporting cast helped keep this book light with out being frivolous or dismissive. I will have to check out more by this author! KZ Snow is quickly becoming a favorite author of mine! I did not really know what I was expecting of this book when I first picked it up and maybe that was a good thing. The subject or topic of this book was a very painful and emotional thing to read about but despite that...the book was powerful or should I say empowering! Dare & Jonah are survivors, they may not be completely over what has happened to them but they've come to realize that they don't have to try and get over it....they are learning to 'live' with it and they are doing it together.
I read this ages ago, but have somehow lost the review. Hmm...*searches hard drive*

DNF...Too fast paced, not enough time to form a connection with characters.
