I've never read a romance set in Hong Kong and I really loved this one! Hudson Lin created a plot that had high emotional stakes, but was still fun. Ben moves to Hong Kong from Vancouver for a three month work assignment and falls in love with Sai, a local lawyer from a prominent family who struggles with the tension between his job, family pressure, and his personal values. I love that this plot didn't revolve around Ben trying to convince Sai to move to Canada for true love. Ben recognized Sai's deep connection to his home and didn't predicate his love on Sai's willingness to sacrifice. Another great read by Hudson Lin! Ben can only be described as “sweet” and is absolutely perfect for Sai. Sai is rich and reserved, burdened with expectations...but allows himself to get pulled along with Ben’s enthusiasm for life. Sai is a lawyer that is trapped by his culture. He can’t refuse his parents, even when they have him doing questionable and unethical things for some of their “richer than God”, friends. Things that could lose him his law license or even send him to prison. Ben...a Canadian in Hong Kong for his company only for three months, falls hard for Sai but doesn’t understand the Chinese tradition that demands that grown children submit to their parent’s wishes. He also is very worried about Sai's future. The story is mainly about finding your own happiness especially when what you want conflicts with cultural expectations. It’s a great read. As it seems to be my wish for all of these books...I wish it had been longer. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Three Months to Forever is a short yet sweet novel about two impressive men falling in love in in Hong Kong. Add in the fact that Canada is also a big part of this book, and you have me instantly hooked! Hudson Lin really did these communities justice with this book, since it is beautifully crafted and respects the cultures.
If I had to compare it, I'd say it was a beautiful Romeo and Juliet -esque story with a splash of Fifty Shades of Grey (but way better, of course). It is R rated though, due to the incredibly sexy scenes Hudson depicts throughout the book. I did find the dominance aspect of the book to be a little repetitive (since it seems to be in every book these days), but that didn't make me want to put the book down.
One major part of this book was the relationship between Sai and his parents. I think the book managed to pull this relationship off and explain the subtleties in an understanding tone. I felt like I understood how Sai felt, even if I hadn't experienced a similar relationship before. I also really liked that there was some ethical issues being discussed. Bringing light to some of the darker sides of business within a romance novel was a nice change within this genre!
It's a fast paced book and follows a very typical narrative, but it still felt so different and real. It's rare to find a good book that opens itself up to so many different communities AND that's a good read. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you love romance! It's high tier reading, and it's not too long so you can easily binge it.
This book is worth every single penny! I want more by Hudson Lin ASAP and I want more readers to be picking up this author's book! What a gem! This book deserves all of the stars!
Five out of five stars!
