It’s such a beautiful story that you get sucked into, you don’t want it to ever be done!! Their growth, the secondary characters, the innocent and forbidden touches and meetings, and then the full on acceptance of these two. I wanted more and more and more of them and Valentine delivered with steam, emotion, and a build of a genuine connection between Cole and Elijah. I craved every forbidden moment that they shared together. “He’s everything I know I shouldn’t look twice at, but I can’t turn away. He had patience, open arms without judgement, a listening ear, and even though he possessive and jealousy was shining through a lot… he showed compassion and care! To voice those things and let any fear or shadow of a doubt hinder that. I seriously wanted to wrap him in all of my love and hugs!Ĭole is EVERYTHING! I loved how he helped Elijah come out of his shell and be more open and honest and not afraid of his wants and needs. Trying to make amends with himself, to feel comfortable, and not so isolate.

I felt it in my soul, every emotion that Elijah was going though. “Every waking moment I’m pretending to love myself on the outside, while I quietly, but painfully berate myself on the inside.” His struggles and the way he presented himself gave me all the feels and so much more. First off, Elijah is the type of person you want to wrap around in love so much love and make him feel so important and most of all, wanted and needed. GAAAAAH, I cannot say enough good things about this book. “Nothing about me is straight and narrow. My first ever book by Marley Valentine and she blows me away with the emotional depth, push and pull all while giving the dominance and masculinity the right way with this MM romance!
