Blurb
Life in his sleepy hometown proves intolerable until he finds solace in a lakeside cabin with vivacious young carpenter, Max O’Dair. In the shadow of the epilepsy that periodically plagues Max, he and Jed form an unspoken bond. After a late night episode, Jed realizes how much Max means to him, and life has taught him not to waste time.
But the lines between contentment and complacency are blurred. Things left hidden resurface to tear through their world, and before they can repair the damage, death comes to call again. Faces, past and present, rally around them to weather the storm, but before long, they are left with only love.
My Two Pennies' Worth
Cute and fluffy this is not. It’s hurt/comfort, damaged heroes, and a ton of angst. Did you expect anything else? It’s Garrett Leigh after all. But even for Garrett I found this one heavy on the angst (and hard on my tissue budget).
The relationship is slooooow-burn, which is great because these two have so many issues between them that jumping into things too fast seems like a really bad idea. They both doubt their ability to love or be loveable.
One of the things I love about Garret’s books is her ability to surround her MCs with a mixed bag of well-rounded secondary characters. They often give me as much pleasure as the MCs, and it’s no surprise that one book spawns another, as we readers clamour for more information on intriguing side characters.
As usual the writing is excellent and the plot believable.

Garrett's debut novel, Slide, won Best Bisexual Debut at the 2014 Rainbow Book Awards, and her polyamorous novel, Misfits was a finalist in the 2016 LAMBDA awards.
When not writing, Garrett can generally be found procrastinating on Twitter, cooking up a storm, or sitting on her behind doing as little as possible, all the while shouting at her menagerie of children and animals and attempting to tame her unruly and wonderful FOX.
Garrett is also an award winning cover artist, taking the silver medal at the Benjamin Franklin Book Awards in 2016. She designs for various publishing houses and independent authors at blackjazzdesign.com, and co-owns the specialist stock site moonstockphotography.com with photographer Dan Burgess.
