's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: 2010, gay, ebook, romance, done

Excellent m/m romance about a rich, angry, nasty homophobic guy who nearly dies in a car crash. When he's eventually able to go home, he needs home nursing care and finds himself uncomfortably attracted to his male nurse. I'll warn you that I suspect some people are probably going to hate this as much as I loved it - there's a lot of angst, a lot of being stuck and not making any progress, a lot of lashing out at others because of how he feels about himself. And it all manages to feel more real to me than a lot of GFY tends to.

MsMiz (Tina) Great review for this book. Man he was such an ass hole - yet so real. How he ended up not being run over by cars consistently by his friends, I have no idea!!!

orannia I love this book, even though...like you said, Matt was on that smacked shelf from the get go! I love how this author can write such characters...

Happy reading :)
