This title's the newest and 7th title (finally - YAY!) out in Jaime Reese's awesome Halfway House series which is an MM contemporary romance series. No cliffhangers, no cheating, but there is a HEA, big age difference, hurt-comfort, some suspense and a very sweet lovestory. Trigger warnings, I'd say for some perhaps a description of physical abuse.
Each title in the series has had a new main couple and so does this. The stories can be read as standalones though a reader gets most out of them by reading them in order as the characters from the first title have roles in the whole series and also other previous main characters can have side character roles further on. It's much more comfortable to read when the backstory is known. Not a must though.
I really, really love - adore - this whole series let alone this sweet story with the sweet Ben - and how the author has portrayed and written it / them all as well as the choices in difficult and often painful themes and issues the author has chosen to delve into with all the dedication and care put into them. They're not the lightest but are well addressed. One sees how much heart has been put into the making of this book.
It was really wonderful to have a new treat in the form of another story in the series. I bow in thanks to having such a story exactly to my taste to read.
Ben and Gabriel together are - well, they make me gooey inside 😍
I like the length, I like long books and I like this particular authors long books 😍
I also like sweetness like here, I'm very fond of 😍
The end part, the suspense and action part, really took me by surprise! If one mistakes the book for too sweet, one didn't read it through or didn't pay attention when choosing a book. Though I don't personally consider it too sweet, but just what already the title and the cover provided by the skillful author promised. Adorable. Heart-melting. All oooh and AWWWs. And to last, I liked that the story still wasn't dropped at that but we still got to read more about the Happy Ending part 😍
The only "complaint" I have is the sorrow that the author isn't a full-time author and therefore patience is somewhat required of us who enjoy the stories but on the other hand waiting makes the finally gotten read all the more sweeter to enjoy!
