After seven years together Charlie dumps Kendal for another man, a gourgeous guy named Aaron. Kendal is a 35 years old editor, average guy with nice body but not at all a fit body. He loves is quiet life and his without surprise relationship with Charlie. When he finds himself alone, he can't believe Charlie has thrown away everything for a fling. And he goes in seach of Aaron to see by person how he is. And he found a beautiful 29 years old guy, and also a nice and friendly man, and someone who wants commitment by the true love of his life, and he continues to claim that Kendal could be his true love. I like very much this book, is like an old classic tale, where Cinderella meet Prince Charming, but when she is still wearing the ugly dresses and she is not yet the beautiful princess. Kendal is earthy and tender, a simple man with simple desire. And Aaron, despite the perfect body and the beautiful face, is simple like him, he wants a relationship like that of his parents, a man to love forever. D.J. Manly has written a tale of good feelings and great hopes, of the type you read when you are a teens and dream to find soon your true love and meanwhile read a book in the waiting. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

The whole book is paced too quickly and the attraction between Aaron and Kendal happens far too rapidly. Aaron's attraction isn't really explained, and Kendal's attraction to Aaron is purely physical. In the short time they've known each other, they already start to talk seriously about moving in together and getting married.
Kendal had absolutely no right to treat Charlie the way he did after he got caught kissing Aaron, whether Kendal loved Charlie or not. The story wouldn't have been so bad if Kendal wasn't in the "hero" position and his actions weren't thusly defended, but he was and they were. The dynamics between the characters are just messed up.
