The first book dropped a pure fuckery moment as its basic premise: A flamboyant gay man fucks a woman once and fathers a child. Overall not a horrible read, but when compared to One Small Thing, it fell a little flat! Not sure if the author is continuing the series, but some of the secondary characters would make for some interesting reading. I was hoping to get more time with Rue, Erik and Alice, but it wasn't much, however those few times were the highlight of the book for me. It read like forced drama, and frankly it was not all that dramatic to begin with. The plot tended to ramble on and was not all that believable, it didn't make much sense. Why do authors find the need to give their characters such similar names? I know they were twins, but c'mon, sometimes I wasn't sure who I was reading about. The whole Asher, Archer thing, just confused me. I loved Dusty and I enjoyed his relationship with Asher, but somehow they didn't connect as much as I would have liked. I wanted so bad to love this book, and I read and read and read.but it just didn't give me that feeling that One Small Thing did. He wanted the guy, the commitment, the home, the family and he got it all. Yeah, this was everything I could have wanted to Dusty’s HEA. What the hell is wrong with that guy? Please, please tell me we get to read his story and that he's redeemed and that I will love him, too. Okay, I have to mention Archer for a sec. Which was the perfect love that Dusty and Ash shared. But, thankfully, the misunderstandings didn’t last too long and we were able to get to more of the good stuff. They had some struggles to overcome and there were a couple big misunderstandings, and that can usually rub me the wrong way if it goes on for pages and pages. It was romantic, realistic and rocketed the sexual tension up to almost unbearable levels. They went out, met each other’s friends and had some playful flirting before moving to the next step. And get this, they actually took the time to, ya know, date and everything before they had The Sex. With their loving words, their thoughtful gestures and the realistic development of their relationship, I was the one with the insta-love. Dusty and Asher hit me square in the chest over and over again. But all those books? They didn't get it right. "I've been waiting to feel like this since I was a kid and I used to sneak my mom's romance novels. Their stories are loving and sweet and adorable and hot as all hell. Them being together is like perfection, it’s like… like, I just want to hug my kindle to my chest and never, ever let go.
