I prefer Untamed Heart than this, but I still like this one though. What bother me was that this book have more page than Untamed Heart but less conflict to explore. I found in the middle, the plot ran slower and many unnecessary scenes was included I mean, there's no need for sex scene dedication eventhough the plot basically can live wothout it and then when the bigger conflict appear, it seems like it was suddenly appear, without much hints that could make readers grip their seat. But the relationship between Dan and Stevie was sweet, that I do love. Ally Blue seems to have a great technique to make her characters had a depth, and this one has it also.

Good, straight-forward "pretty lady" kind of story. I really do enjoy this author.

Dan saves Stevie and feels an immediate emotional connection "But this was the first time trouble had ever walked into his life with honey-gold curls and eyes like the summer sky and the sweetest smile he had ever seen. Just walked right in, reached down inside him and made him feel things he'd never felt before." But Dan is not out and hides his feelings.
Stevie, after rejection from his family and a hard life on the streets, does not feel worthy of being loved. "God, Dan," he whispered. "I love you so much. I wish I was good enough for you."
This was a nice story with a happy ending. 3.5 stars.

Dan rescues Stevie after he’s been beaten by one of his johns. At this point I could tell how the rest of the story would unfold. Stevie constantly in need of a savior.
Dan immediately moves Stevie into his home and struggles to fight his growing feelings for him. He doesn’t have any problems or concerns about Stevie’s sorrid past, but is worried about what his friends and coworkers would think of him if they knew of his sexual orientation.
Stevie knows Dan has feelings for him but instead of waiting for him to figure out if he’s going to act on them he gets involved with someone else. This new guy that he gets involved with is controlling and very much like Stevie’s johns.
Stevie and Dan, when they were on the same accord, where a cute couple. Dan was a bit more likeable than Stevie, because Stevie seemed to always be in need of saving. Stevie doesn’t have much depth to him either. The story was well written but the characters were lacking. I intend to give this author another try.

This was a nice, easy read but somehow felt superficial. I would expect Stevie to have had a whole wealth of emotions about his situation, including anger and betrayal and frustration and pain and some PTSD. So his reactions seemed monotonic and a little plastic. I never sympathized with him the way I wanted to.

Ally always writes a good story.. This one though felt a bit rushed.. Or maybe it was an earlier novel.. I'm not sure.
The characters are good the scenes flow fairly well. So I do not know why I have the feeling at the end that it was all a bit rushed.
So read and enjoy if you are wanting a good m/m rom story.. but I just don't think you should expect the quality of some of Ally's other titles that I've read.
