Afterward, consumed by guilt, both men become more isolated than before.

And I have to say I have mixed feelings about this story. The two principal characters were fine; the sex was well written. The story however was all over the place. Both leads couldn't make up their minds about their relationship other than the Daddy and boy roles. There were too many characters that had no direction. They came and went without reason. This is another story where the writers didn’t understand how to write a person of color and just goes for the stereotype. (Please stop doing this.) The older lead is proud he defends criminals because he makes a lot of money. Wow!
Both are trying to mourn someone they lost and fall into each other's arm. This I can buy, but it's so annoying when one of them feels guilty about it. I can go on, but I won't. I see a lot of 5 stars here but wonder if they are real or maybe I'm missing something.
The reader was the wrong pick. His voice sounded pleasant, as if he was reading for a high schooler. He kept jumping out of voice and I got confused which character he was talking for. The POV was confusing. And why was he using a deep man's voice for a woman?
Over all I just wasn't into this story. I rolled my eyes, more than care about their relationship.

This is an interesting story full of emotions and angst. The two men go through a lot in this story and must decide if they are going to acknowledge what they have and fight for it or let society dictate what is right. Both men are dealing with loss in their own ways and both are unhealthy. As the two navigate their way they find solace in each other. Watching the two figure things out made for an engaging read. At times Shane seemed way to naive and young and Caleb seemed to just want to satisfy his urges but the love that they share is there. There were some scenes that did not sit right with me it seemed that they both needed to learn just what and how to have the relationship that they wanted. Although narrator Kaeomakana Tiwanak moves the story along at a good pace I found that I disliked some of the voices used for the characters in this book.
