S.R. Lane

This almost became a DNF because I wasn’t feeling the beginning of this (and that lasted awhile), but I’m glad I stuck it out because it ended up being a lovely if angsty romance between Nicholas and Chris.

The premise reminded me of a fave AU Sherlock fanfic from about ten years ago, and I ended up wanting to see where this story would lead. All the feels are very subdued here, so it’s hard to get a read on either of these guys (Chris shows a little more than Nicholas); it was best to just go with it all and see, and I did end up loving the end.

Also this cover is so not right for the book as it’s too cutesy for what ends up being a rather not-light story; they could have just put one color and the Eiffel Tower covering it for the drama it needs.… (altro)
