This was just gorgeous. My heart ached for Daniel and Rex as they struggled toward each other despite the weight of their pasts. Extremely high heat factor, beautifully written.

I absolutely adored this book, all 400+ pages of it. Daniel and Rex had such an honest, loving, down to earth relationship. The build up is a little slow and I did find myself skimming over Daniel's memories of all his past issues in Philadelphia but I still couldn't put the book down. I also would have preferred if we had dual POVs in this book, but that's just a personal preference with all romance books. I do think we get a good idea of Rex's character and his inner thoughts through his interactions with Daniel and, by the end, Rex is very vocal and explicit about his feelings so it really cleared up any grey areas in that regard. Both heroes are emotionally distanced in their own way but they complement each other so well that they know exactly what to say to get the other to open up. This was a lot more emotional than I was expecting but, in the end, it gave me the exact warm-fuzzy feeling I was craving. Parrish does a great job fleshing out the side characters and I'm glad we met the heroes of the next two books in the series already.
