I really liked this book, I liked the fact that they were "established" couple. It briefly went into their past, but didn't get to the down and dirty of the last three years. I think the wrap up was quick, but I could see how it could have dragged on. I love how the MC1 was a different person in MC2 presence. Really a sweet book, specially the epilogue. It just made mention that a relationship still takes effort.
Really sweet story with likable characters.
Sometimes it is great just to read a feel-good story with a happy, ever after ending.

Very cute. The guys loved each other a lot. I can see where Cy was coming from at the end, I'm that way also.

The beginning was promising until it became repetitive in the second half.
Though I liked Weber better of the two MCs, Weber's insistence that he was nobody worth anyone's time, especially a rich, handsome, prince-ly neurosurgeon's time, was getting tiresome.
Weber's pride coupled with his stubbornness and self-doubt were preventing him to take a chance on the love that Cy was trying to give him, believing he was only good for sex and nothing else.
What Weber himself does not see is how people warm up to him quickly, that he was adored by Cy's family, especially Carolyn's kids, and that they don't prejudice against him for not having a steady job or an illustrious career.
In the beginning, Weber's refusal to be Cyrus' kept man was commendable, and he's not with him just for his money, but even after it's been established that this is not the case, his nagging doubt still remains and Weber needed constant reminders that he was loved the way he is.
I wasn't so keen on the PDA that dragged on at the end, and how the sudden but brief appearance of an ex was totally unnecessary. But if it's just to prove a point already driven to death, then so be it.
The saving grace of the book is how Weber served a purpose in the Benning's lives, kids, pets and all. That Weber's presence is felt for those who are fortunate enough to know him.

God, this was an emotional sucker punch right from the first page. I was instantly floored. There was such desperation in there and I absolutely loved that.
Such an intense, beautiful story. I’ve been yearning for something like this. Weber was such a cinnamon roll and Cyrus loved him so desperately much, but had such a hard time trying to convince him of that. I loved their connection. I also loved how most people around them fell for Weber too—they all thought he was too good and too pure to be real, basically.
I could have done with a little less of the family focus with the sister’s family, but that was my only complaint aside from the book being so short. I wanted so much more of Weber and Cyrus.

i know deep down in my heart that weber votes republican and it's going to become an issue because cy is a very politically involved democrat.
The start was good but I found myself getting bored at the end. Still a great short read, just saw myself not liking it as much as I did with Mary Calmes' other books. Might be at the bottom of Mary Calmes books for me honestly.

Not my favorite Mary Calmes book but K.C. Kelly's narration was great so I enjoyed it anyway.

Awww when the first started I was worried it was going to bounce back and forth between present day and their old relationship and I thought it was going to be so heart breaking to hear about everyone he left but thankfully we didn’t get that. Instead we got Web being the absolute sweetest man to ever live. He was great with the kids, like gentle parenting without even knowing he’s doing it because he’s just a happy and gentle man, not to mention how much love these two shared.
I really liked the doctor being a whole new happier person with him and wanting to show him off!
2/5 on spice. 1/5 on kink. 1/5 on tears. This was erotica and technically there was a lot of sex in here but because of the way the story was it didn’t really feel like their was a lot of it.
