Second chance at life, blu sea and a bit of history
Hank likes to cook and his relationship with Cole is made of the best ingredients. First of all you have the Egyptian shores of the Sahara and the incredible blu sea, where our MCs spend quite some time inviting the reader to dive with them to admire and discover wonders hidden under the surface of unknown caves and remote spots away from the crowd of tourists. The descriptions of the dives are beautifully written and you’d wish to jump on the first plane and book a diving class with Hank!
Then there is Cole, the tough teddy bear, who has learned to not be overwhelmed by his insecurities but to live and embrace them, so much so that his pointed at chubby appearance is what attracted Hank to him in the first place. And Hank seeks the comfort and peace he can get by just hugging and being covered by his big boyfriend. There are a couple of references to a possible daddy kink at the beginning of their relationship but the men do not further developed this side of their attraction.
Add to the mix an archeological found and you end up with this wonderful story, that made me even cry a little when the two MCs had their major argument because of the hurt to see such a perfectly imperfect relationship risking to end after the hottest night in the Sahara (and I am not talking about the temperature..).
I received a complementary copy of this book and this is my honest and enthusiastic review.
