Roni Loren steps out of her typical M/F romance to give
readers a little M/M
loving with YOURS ALL ALONG. As an avid M/M reader myself,
I was
definitely looking forward to see how Loren would attempt
this novella. But
she has her work cut out for her when one of her heroes
turns out to be
engaged with a woman at the start of the story. I know
what you are
probably thinking, how is she going to make this story
work?
Well, it definitely complicates matters, doesn't it?
Hunter is set to be married
any day now and when his fiancé notices that he isn't in
the happy mood,
she suggests that he takes a little vacation just to clear
his head before the
big day. On a stupid, impulsive mood, Hunter visits his
friend, Devon and the
restaurant that he owns to ask his to be his best man.
While his intentions
are sweet, Devon feels put on the spot, especially when
four years ago he
and Hunter had something.
Loren uses flashback scenes to tell the bulk of Hunter and
Devon's story.
Going back as far as college, you'll see how their
friendship blooms into
something more. I really enjoyed this part of the story.
It's sweet and sexy all
at the same time and if it wasn't for the fact that Hunter
was already
engaged, I feel like I would've become more invested in
their romance than I
really was. As I read the novella, parts of me felt
conflicted and it really
affected how much I enjoyed the story in the end. I also
feel like because of
the complexity of the situation, a full length novel would
have been much
better, especially since Hunter goes through quite a lot
of emotional distress
in this story. I would have liked to see more of that
explored in a longer
novel.
That being said, if you're new to M/M romance this might
be a good place to
start with the genre. YOURS ALL ALONG is short, sweet and
sexy and a
great addition to the Loving on the Edge series.
The new Loving on the Edge romance from the New York Times
bestselling author of Nothing Between Us turns on the heat
between two men who wonder how much they’re willing to
risk
in the name of love.
Four years after an accident tore their friendship apart,
Hunter and Devon are living separate lives. Hunter is now
the all-America hero—a congressman’s son and a pro pitcher
in Houston preparing to marry his beauty-queen girlfriend.
Devon is in Dallas running a new restaurant.
But when Hunter unexpectedly shows up in Devon’s bar,
Devon
can’t turn him away. Damn it if the man isn’t still
gorgeous. But engaged? Hell no. All he’s doing for Devon
is
bringing back memories of their college-roommate days, and
the night their relationship went too far. Turns out
Hunter
has never forgotten it either.
Now Devon can’t help but be drawn in all over again by the
only guy who’s ever gotten close enough to break his
heart.
Maybe one more night together would be enough for both of
them to finally move on. Or maybe one night will change
everything…
