Ruby Rayne wrote such a heartwarming romance. The writing captures the essence of romance with its compelling narrative of Alex and Jaxon's journey from friends to lovers. The book delves into themes of acceptance, the power of found family, and the courage to embrace love against all odds. While the story offers a low-angst, steamy romance that fans of the genre will appreciate, some readers may find the plot predictable, hence the three-star rating. Nonetheless, Rayne's storytelling is praised for its emotional depth and the ability to create characters that readers can root for, making this book a worthy read for those who enjoy contemporary MM romance novels.
