An enjoyable GFY story about two men in their 30's who both were previously self-identified heterosexuals until they found love with one another. This book reminded me of [b:Faith & Fidelity 4801582 Faith & Fidelity (Faith, Love, & Devotion, #1) Tere Michaels https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1224034969s/4801582.jpg 4866696], one of my favorites, but wasn't as good. The mystery side plot was, erm, interesting. As far as the development of their relationship, I'd have preferred more sexual tension before things progressed physically. It would have made their first kiss seem less out of the blue.One thing that rubbed me the wrong way was that upon hearing that John's ex was a stay at home mom, Ryan's immediate thought was ‘parasite.' She had plenty of negative characteristics deserving criticism, but choosing not to work outside the home in order to raise her children full time wasn't one of them. That he considered that a negative thing just pissed me off and made it difficult to like him after that.Overall, pretty good, could have been better.
