kharlan3's review against another edition

(m/m, contemporary, romance). This may be my favorite one so far. A recently divorced bi massage therapist single dad meets a former professional hockey player recovering from catastrophic injuries with ED. Dogs!! I liked Jon’s refusal to find Brent a burden, and the abusive/manipulative dad storyline was effective. I really liked the creative sex and journey around that. The best part was obviously them adopting the dogs, duh. There was some weirdness with this audiobook- the narrator for Jon was oddly quiet/solemn on the chapter names, and there was one moment of what sounded like strange re-records on a Brent chapter. Only a little distracting though.

3.75

 So far, my favourite out of the series. The story was really fleshed out (it was also the longest book so far) and I was invested in it. Both MCs had their own set of worries and they were not one dimensional.

One night stand turns to a couple of men seeking comfort in each other's company. The hurt/comfort aspect of this was pretty great, because both men are for different reasons starved of intimacy and company. Weirdly enough, I most enjoyed the inclusion of

erectile dysfunction

in this story, because that's something I've never came across in M/M (or any) book. It was handled very well in my opinion and it added another layer to the relationship between Jon and Brent.

Despite the book being relatively long as it is, I wouldn't mind another 50 pages at the end just to enjoy the smooth landing of the end.
