I loved this book and it’s audio companion and have read and re-read it many times (and re-listenened!).

This is the sweet, heartwarming story Cardeno C. promised. I loved the romance, which didn't develop quickly, and the strength of character in Jared and the people in his life.

Rarely do I find a story of two gay men as romantic but this one fits that bill perfectly. The author took two damaged guys, one on each end of the spectrum and merged them into a loving and caring couple. The characters were so wonderful and they captured my heart immediately. ...It was wonderful to watch these two completely different men meld together and support each other..... this is another wonderful book about family and how it doesn't always resemble a storybook but still be perfect anyways.

I really enjoyed how the relationship between the two progresses and the amount of love and friendship shown. Mitch is certainly one to have on your side, I thought he was brilliant. Simon proved that he was stronger than everyone thought (apart from Mitch) and to see his turnaround was wonderful.

fantastic characters, a sweet story with lots of heart, family at it's core, surprisingly sexy-as-hell steam which was so much hotter than I expected, hilarious banter, and just a beautiful love story. ...These two were just perfect together, they balanced the other out and just completed each other.
