"Emerson Robinette only leaves his apartment to get laid and go to work. Having MS -- and trying to pretend he doesn't -- makes everything more complicated, especially his fantasies of coming on strong and holding a guy down. Finding a partner who'll explore that with him isn't Emerson's idea of a realistic goal. Until a chance meeting with a hipster on a bus makes him reconsider. Obie is happy, open-hearted, and warm; what's more, he gets his kicks being physically dominated, spanked, and teased until he's begging. It would be perfect, except for one thing: Emerson isn't made for happiness, and he doesn't see how a guy like Obie would settle for a cynic like him. But as far as Obie's concerned, the only thing keeping them apart is Emerson. Can Emerson handle a boyfriend who's more invested in his future than he is? Emerson's barely convinced he has a future. But when Obie's smiling at him, anything seems possible"--Back cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Being chronically ill myself I was very eager to read a book about a chronically ill character. Kris Ripper doesn't disappoint. I don't have a lot of knowledge about MS (friend's brother's wife has MS), but I felt like it was well researched.
Emerson is rather bitter about his life, which I hugely enjoyed, because not every person has rainbows shooting out of their ass. I loved how real he is. He has bad days and those don't get glossed over. The reader experiences his bad days with him and gets to feel his frustration. I liked his development as well.
I expected more sex scenes, to be honest. But while reading, I didn't miss them. There are some, but the focus lies on everyday interactions between not only the MCs but quite a few side characters as well.
And can I just say, that love is not the magically cure for everything in this book? (
