Obviously this is a book about finding love where and when you least expect it, and though Brian and Troy never imagined themselves in such a scenario, shit happens and sometimes, a wonderful thing can come of it.
I liked this book. But I also admit that I was left wanting more. I wanted more UST, I wanted more buildup, interactions, explorations, and surprisingly, more angst. Keira Andrews is one of my favorite authors, and she delivers smart, relatable writing, which means that I'll always be more than ready to drop whatever I may be doing or reading to devour her next release.
So overall, this was still a great, entertaining read, with all the requisite feels and some nice smex. I'm a sucker for epilogues and that was just extra icing on an already delicious cake.

I really liked this one! Very slow burn, romantic awakening for two nice guys!
Troy and Brian's romance was really nice and well built up. Going from needing to survive, to becoming friends, to developing attraction!
Got to say, I felt that sadness when they were rescued from the island.
Not a fan of how Brian left so quickly because he'd convinced himself that Troy wouldn't want him, but glad that was resolved relatively quickly.
Very very happy that I read this book!

Troy and Brian. Plane wreck. Double awakening. Forced proximity.

A good book for it's genre, I definitely enjoyed it and I thought a lot of the action parts were well written which is usually what lets a book down.
If anything, I thought the ending was really rushed, all the island stuff was good but after that everything went really quickly.
