| Dave has always known he's different. Not only is he a gay man but he feels more comfortable with his computer than people. If that’s not enough, he stands seven and a half feet tall. Finding a partner to share his bed has never been a problem, but he longs for more. He has become so desperate to find someone to love that he resorts to an online dating service, unfortunately, his first date stands him up. But when he runs into a friend who had the same foster parents for a time when they were younger, he thinks maybe his luck is changing.
When he first sees Micah, it brings back all the feelings of longing he fought when they were teenagers and the feelings he must continue to fight, as Micah isn't gay. But when an accident almost takes Micah from him, he loses his head and kisses him. Has he just thrown their friendship away? Has he lost his one and only love forever? I loved this story. Ms. Young writes in a way that makes her characters seem so real. She makes them believable, with emotions and feelings and makes the reader fall in love with them. Dave is so sweet, somewhat shy and insecure. And Micah is the opposite, he's strong and self-confident. I thoroughly enjoyed the way this story moves slowly, so that the reader feels Dave’s insecurities, his longing to be loved and his struggle to deal with feelings he believes can never be returned. Both characters are strong and even though the author shares their emotions, she does it in a way that does not make them seem feminine or weak. I would highly recommend this one to anyone looking for a great romance with two gorgeous men.
