It is also sexy and smutty, and filled with a very large amount of dirty fun.
Zach is a very angry and hurt young man, although I doubt he would admit to either emotion. Since he left home when they emotionally abandoned him for being gay, he doesn't believe in relationships, he doesn't kiss - that's too intimate, he wants nothing to do with his home town, he barely keeps in touch with his brother, he is OUT and PROUD and will take offense at any little slight he imagines. ... It was so beautiful to watch Zach as he realized that Aaron needed him in so many ways. No one has ever taken care of Aaron, but Zach can. Zach can be that one person that gives back to Aaron as much as he gives to Zach. Watching them find and make their own family was such fun for me... Thank you, Cardeno, for another insanely wonderful story that reminded me of the important things in life.
I just love the characters from this series, the familiar feeling I get when reading all my best friends, and catching up with where they are at right now.
Seth and Eli are wonderful characters. ...Eli's unrequited love and Seth's confusion and fear, they are two emotionally-driven characters. And so perfect for one another. I enjoyed Seth's journey of self-discovery. Finding and accepting himself and then accepting his feelings for Eli show Seth in a whole new, stronger, more confident light. And Eli's growth and maturity, his journey from child to man, is great. To see the lust-addled boy grow into an amazing, confident (still lust-addled) man is a beautiful part of this book. And to see those men dance around one another throughout their lives only to find each other at the perfect time. ... So, not only is this story a beautiful tale of true love, meant to be, soul mates - whatever you want to call it - it's also a hilarious peek into the life of a rabbi and his many adventures into weddings. I'm telling you guys, the "wedding curse" that Seth suffers had me rolling with laughter, tears running down my face.
Beans: I really loved this book. ...mostly it was about two men finding each other. ...Just two men who became wonderful friends, lovers, and then partners. A beautiful book full of love and life.Nina: This is a fantastic book ...This book rocked the sexy, fun and the behind the scenes look at the talented artist. ...I enjoyed the ease of the friends to lovers aspect of their romance. There was sexual tension and a slow, sweet build up to them moving to a sexual relationship that allowed time for the trust and emotional intimacy to develop....It all comes together so beautifully and I was left in awe of Cardeno C's ability to take a slightly implausible scenario and make me not only believe it, but rejoice and run out and tell people how wonderful this story is.
