Reading notes and later opinions

* Scarcely 16% an I'm already tired of so many sex. I think that I'll skip many sex scenes, if not I will not finish this book."

* Characters, plot and the picture of country work life are so good that the ginormous quantity of sex is forgivable; I skipped most of them but there's a couple of sex scenes that... wow, a glass of iced tea and a fan here, please. And the Legos? that scenes kill me of tenderness. (52%)

* Part Síx is so bitter and sad... but is credible and consistent with the rest of the story. (75%). I'm not a fan of cheating, in my books, like most romance readers.But infidelity exists, although on this issue I agree with the Erica's way of thinking.: Even if people are having problems, it doesn't allow them to cheat. I'm glad Tor himself was kicking his own ass for the cheating.The cheating and most of the following was well handled.(Erica dixit)

* The real name of Hound is Conscience. Can't put this down.(82%)

Overall, I agree with Kaje's review from A to Z.

This is a really strong 3.5 star for me so I rounded up. I had moments where I teared up due to the impact of such raw emotions. The MCs are likable and the supporting cast doesn't hinder the story. LOTS of sex. At first I was put off by the large amount of sex considering I picked this up as a romance not erotica. But I came to the conclusion that the MCs needed that amount of intimacy to grow emotionally. ( )

2.5 stars

For all my bitching, this book managed to hold my attention quite well.
I admit to skimming through the sex scenes (of which there were way too many, especially at first 20% of the book), but other than that, and a slight leaning towards melodrama at one point, this was a nice story.

SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD

Unlike most people I've met so far (online and irl), I don't have a slightest problem with reading about cheating. I get that most people want romance that doesn't touch the ugly side of reality, especially if it's a character you've grown to like, but exactly that moment in the book is what made me like it instead of not. Because that stuff is real and painful and probably everyone had to deal with it at one point in their lives.
I liked that the blame was not put all on the one who cheated, and that the issue was not skimmed over. I liked that everyone who cheats isn't a cheating bastard, or in a relationship with someone he doesn't love.

For a book that has the amount of (hot, sweaty) sex that this one has, I wasn't expecting any kind of issue-resolving that doesn't include more sex. ( )

It took a while for me to finally read this book because the angst scared me but this was a great book. Very well written with a great story of two guys staying together, not just a fairy tale perfect relationship. Definitely recommend this! ( )

A lot of the book is about the sex but there's a good plot too and it shows Jake & Tor relationship in a time frame of 10 years so it's quite realist in the up&down a story that long can have. My favorites parts are the ones at the beginning when the two characters are still at each other throats for this or that...the mud scene in particular was awesome!
