After Ben

This was precisely the type of book I was in the mood for, so I really enjoyed it. It was mature (i.e. serious) yet still had plenty of steamy scenes, and it was well written. The author did a wonderful job of demonstrating how grief affects the daily life of someone who has suffered such a profound loss. I do think this could have still been achieved with fewer/shorter flashbacks, and I'd have preferred to read less of Theo's monotonous day to day activities and more of his relationship development with Morgan. I wish I'd gotten to read more about Morgan and his past. I found the length of time it took Theo to connect the dots about what had happened to Morgan extremely hard to believe. You'd have to be beyond oblivious not to realize what was going on based on his behavior and the things he said. When you're writing from a single POV, in order for your MC's surprise to feel genuine, the reader should be surprised as well.

Anyway, despite those issues, I was pretty much glued to the pages until I finished. It was nice to read something quite different from my usual books. I'd like to read more from this author, but I'm not sure I want to continue this series, considering the fact I really didn't think much of Peter. He made me uncomfortable with his pushiness because he said one thing while doing the opposite. I'll probably give it a try just to see if he comes across differently in his book.
