This is an amazing story about unconditional love and acceptance, but also about tremendous patience in waiting for someone who is worth it. I loved the slow buildup, the gradual reveal of the needed background in parallel with what was happening 'now'. While the characters remained somewhat sketchy (necessarily so in such a short story), their essence stood out very clearly.

Derek is wounded, scarred, even, but from more than his most recent accident. Ian has been wondering if they'd fit and, finally, gets his chance. The scenes that follow are slow, sensuous and very tender. There is so much more potential here, I really hope KR follows this up with a full novel.

Totally recommended if you like wounded heroes and men who face adversity and win. ( )

This was ok. If you have a copy, it's worth a read. If you don't, I wouldn't knock yourself hunting down a copy. ( )
