I don't mind it, but age gap doesn't do anything for me. That's the one thing that keeps Keira Andrews from being a basically perfect author for me. She does a great job plotting a story that would be interesting without the romance and truly solid relationship to root for on top of that. This is another fantastic example. Could always do with more pining personally.

Unbreakable bonds can be forged under the most dire of circumstances.
The last thing Troy expects when he leaves his brother in Australia after watching him snort his way through their boy band’s tour was surviving a plane crash. When incredible piloting lands them on a deserted island he thinks himself lucky to be with Brian.
Brian is calm, smart, confident and brave. If Troy had to be stranded with anyone, he’s glad it was Brian.
Despite the struggle to find shelter, food and water, debilitating insect bites and jelly fish stings a deep friendship forms between the two men. After an offer to “help” each other out their bond takes a turn for the steamy. Will being rescued sever their burgeoning relationship or can it withstand being back in the real world.
Another fantastic read by Kiera. I haven't read a deserted island book before and it was really great. Highly recommend!

Amato e divorato in poche ore, il modo migliore per chiudere l'anno, grazie Keira!

A solid read, but admittedly, trapped on an island plots don't do that much for me, so while I liked it thanks to the author's writing style, it stopped short of standing out to me as a book.

Gah! I swear I can’t count how many times I’ve said, “I don’t really like GFY” - but this is Keira Andrews & Greg Boudreaux, so I snagged it. And I loved it. Slooooww burn, but so well done. With a plane crash this has a great thriller/suspense aspect to create tension. It’s a nice mix of Brian & Troy fighting the elements, mourning their pasts, bearing their souls, joking and laughs, and beginning to love each other. It’s absolutely fiction, but so *real* at the same time.
I love Greg Boudreaux as a narrator. Honestly, there were a few times where I wish he had better differentiated Brian & Troy’s voices - but still a solid narration.

I really wish that I had been able to read this without seeing all the drama the past week. As much as I tried not to let it, the things I saw really had me questioning things while reading, looking at it in a way that I'm not sure I would have before. That's not a bad thing, it's always good to think about what you read, but it did still lessen my enjoyment a bit. I loved my rose colored glasses, dammit!
The book truly was wonderful though, well written, and with the message that "love is love", which is really a beautiful message. I loved it in On The Island, when it was a a teacher a few years older than her student, so why shouldn't I love it just as much between two "Straight" men? Do I think they'd have ever gotten together if they hadn't been in the situation they were in? No, probably not, but the fact is, they were in the situation they were in, so what ifs are really invalid.
I particularly loved that they were better together. Even after they returned home, to their real lives, what they went through changed them. Having someone they loved and trusted so much gave both of them the confidence to make the changes that they needed, to really be happy. To me, that is the more important message, not "two straight guys fall in love", but two people, who encountered huge odds, and made each other better. And isn't that really what it's all about?
