A review by robazizo
Depth of Field by Riley Hart

4.0

I picked this up because I wanted to read something light. As it turned out it wasn't light at all, but I really liked it all the same. I'm usually wary of former bully-turned-lover stories, but Riley completely convinced me that Van really was a different person than he was in his youth. His chemistry with Shane was electric and despite it being a very sexy book, it was also very obvious the boys connected on a deeper level as well. Shane's devotion to his mother was admirable (if not entirely good for himself) as was her resolve to take action to give Shane the chance to live his own life. I loved their relationship and the role Annie played later on in Van's life. And somehow it felt quite satisfying that Van's relationship with his mom wasn't magically cured in the end.
