Helpful Score: 2

What an amazing m/m love story! I've read it three times since I got the book. I wish it were longer. I hated it when the story ended.

Matt is the new cop and Jared is a teacher who is currently moonlighting at his brother's store in a small Colorado town. It's told from Jared's point of view, but it worked so well. Not everyone can write a romance novel from the first person point of view, but Marie Sexton does it well. The romance rings very true. The previous poster who said there's not a false tone is completely right. It's a very convincing, expressive love story. It could have easily become repetitive or boring, but the author writes in such a way the story doesn't get bogged down. The chemistry between the two main characters is very sweet and hot. The romance is awesome without being too graphic although it's pretty explicit in some sections, but I thought the romance was written really well.

They also have funny interactions that had me laughing out loud. Their conversations about which football team is better will make you laugh. Matt and Jared don't fit the stereotype for a m/m couple. They like beer. They love football games and mountain bike riding. They both look very athletic and masculine.
I give this book five stars. It's now one of my favorite stories. I'll definitely look for other books by Marie Sexton. Apparently there is a sequel to this book so I'm off to get my hands on that novel.

One of my pet peeves is a book cover which in no way resembles the book. The two men on this cover resemble the two main characters in this story. Those little details make a difference.
