Jaime Fiction Fangirls's Reviews > Yours All Along

The m/m genre is a fairly new undertaking for me. I've read only two of them. One I really loved and the other not so much. I think it comes down to the storyline. The element of love and romance always plays a factor in the books I fall in love with but with m/m it becomes an even bigger factor for me because I'm not looking to read pure smut. I crave a connection between the main characters, even more so than usual.

The love story between Dev and Hunter was a perfect example of what I'm looking for. Please don't get me wrong, the sex scenes were a highlight for me, it's just that they were that much better because they were based on emotions other than lust.

I love the way that Joni Loren told their story, past and present. The way she used a flashback to show how they formed a friendship and it turned to more and how it formed their present to finish their story was the absolute best way to tell it. I didn't just read this story, I felt it. I see myself coming back to read this story often.
