Sapphire Sunset by C. Travis Rice

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

4.0

I've read many romances in the past six years or so, which is why the way this one's plot is structured kept me interested. This isn't your everyday romance story. There's the stupid misunderstanding and the fight, but there's a happy prologue, and a less delayed romance, and some really good humor. The cast of characters is fantastic. The setting is really good. I was less impressed by the sex scenes, but they're easy enough to skim if you want to just get to dialogue and move on. It's got a fair amount to say about family, obligation, self-destructiveness, gay culture, self-discovery, class differences, secrets, bigotry, and loyalty, but I'm left with a sense of happiness and progress, which I wish I could get more often from a romance.

It's really good. Unusual. A little gooey, but worth reading. I'll definitely be reading book 2.
