BLURB:
Graham and Jeremy’s first meeting sparks an explosive and passionate relationship that proves opposites attract. However, as time wears on, their differences cause a lot of strain between them.
Jeremy, a first grade teacher and softball coach, is deeply closeted and sees no way out of the darkness. Graham is out and proud and doesn’t understand Jeremy’s fear at revealing his sexuality. After four years of trying to balance the differences, Graham leaves.
Jeremy is heartbroken, knowing that the love they feel is the real thing. He knows he’s the one who needs to change, but old habits are hard to break. He’ll need support from friends and family to make things right with Graham, but most of all he’ll need to find strength within himself to be honest about who he really is.
REVIEW:
The first thing, in my opinion, that’s really important to know when you decide to read this story is that it is told with the use of flashbacks. The reader gets transported between moments from three years back to one year back to two years back and the present moments.
It didn’t really work for me, I’m afraid. Why? Because the story is being told in a very businesslike manner. There’s not much conversation and it\s like the things happening between main characters Jeremy and Graham are being summed up.
That being said, the premise of the story is very nice. When I read the blurb it really caught my interest and I honestly believe there could have been much more to this story. There are some missed opportunities and things not being said or used, especially the interaction between Jeremy ( JJ ) and Graham.
The main characters are there and even the side characters are there to be used to help make the story go more smoothly and more compelling.
Let me make clear though this story has definitely attractive things in it. The characters are clear and they could be called likable. The romance is there in little pieces and even the hotness is there especially in the end.
The end is what made me rate this story at an even 3 stars.
I liked how the author brought the main characters together, the way they made amends with their lives, with what happened and how the deal was made.
If you are looking for a nice story with a spot of drama and a nice HEA . You will appreciate this one.
