I read recently that most M/M "romance" books are written by women for women. I'm not sure why that's the case, especially since, in my experience, most M/M "romance" books are actually closer to soft core (or even hard core?) porn. This is not one of those books. The closest the characters get to showing any skin is at a pool party where they are NOT skinny dipping. There are no throbbing members, or scenes where clothing gets torn off panting bodies. What this novella is, rather, is a sweet story about two damaged men who find each other in the darkroom. The story took me just over an hour to read, but that was a very enjoyable hour and for anyone interested in watching two men come together without the sex play, I can recommend Amy Spector's book. Note: Fall is Elijah's last name. I leave it to you to decide if there is a play on that name. ( )
