Marie Sexton hasnt let me down yet. This is one of the best contemporary M/M romances that I have read in a long time. If I had a keeper shelf, it would be on it. The author is very good at developing her characters in such a way that allows the reader to get inside their heads. As you read the story, the characters emotions enveloped me and I found myself laughing and crying with Levi and Jaime. Their struggles, their failures and their perseverance are inspiring. The author is very good at making her characters so real, that they suck you in.

In addition to the great characters, the author did a wonderful job presenting many of the tenets of Mormonism through Levis family. She definitely did her research and it was fascinating to me to learn more about it. As an aside, she also seems to know her surfing.

I was very sad to see the end of this book. I fell in love with both Jaime and Levi and a part of me hopes that Ms. Sexton will let us know what is going on with them in a few years.

Overall, this is a GREAT M/M romance. There are two or three editing issues that I noticed, but they werent enough to keep me from giving this book 5 stars.

I fell in love with this book from the very first page. The characters are so very 'real' that you come to care so much for them. You root and root for them to finally find happiness. Levi is SO sexy, and Jaime is adorable and is full of such dry humor. Jaime has some serious issues to overcome and Levi is determined to help him do just that. The two characters were developed superbly and you get to see the friendship and love and trust between them build over time.

Levi's family is Mormon, and I found this aspect of the story extremely interesting. I learned so much. You can most definitely tell that Sexton did some studying.

Simply said, this book was just perfect. It couldnt have been any better. Its right up there with her other title, Promises, that is one of my very favorite M/M books.

Awesome Awesome book! I loved this story, it was so good, I read it straight through. There was not a ton of sex but a really good character building, you felt their pain and sorrows and rejoiced in their happiness. If this book had not been promised to someone, I would have it on my keeper shelf. If I had one complaint, it is that there was not better editing. I gave it 5 stars.
