What can I say, I quit the gazillion of books that I am currently reading because I felt an overwhelming urge to read this book. And I don't even fully understand why.

I mean, I certainly liked the first book in this series, but it's definitely not my beloved series. These are probably not even books that I will come back to, that I will read again and again. And yet, the day before yesterday, I found myself eager to read the next book in this series and abandoned some of the really good books I read and everything I should read for my countless challenges to read this book in one day.

And I'm not disappointed at all. I just don't fully understand what attracted me so much to this, by the way quite good, story. Probably it’s this a bit bizarre heart-warming feeling that you have despite the fact that there are many very difficult and serious topics here - from homophobia to mental health problems.

But I think my decision was even more influenced by characters that are very easy to get attached to. While reading the first book, I really liked all of Kellan's and Chase's friends. I just couldn't wait to read their stories. It's really fun to meet these characters again. Like a return to your good friends that you really value and respect. And I really respect the characters in this series. All men are able to fight for themselves and for what is important to them. And I think it is Remy that best shows what I often miss in other books, that the hero has to get back on his own feet, and not just count on his partner to solve his problems for him.

I have no doubt that I will read another book in this series soon. I'm really looking forward to the Knox and Cullen story.

This story finally made me realize one more thing. That I really hate flashbacks in my books. I never liked them, but now I think I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to lack patience in reading what I'm not fully committed to. In this book I have omitted all flashbacks except the first one, and I feel no remorse at all. On the contrary, I feel that I am finally beginning to fully understand what works for me and what does not.
