Very romantic and emotional, I loved both Blue and Ethan's personal journey toward love, self discovery and acceptance. I really appreciated that they took their time in getting to know each other: they're love came maybe a little late but it was so so beautiful.

I like very much how this author describes feelings: Ethan and Blue's love is poetic and precious and I adored how it was inevitable too. The night at the hotel was beautifully written: they barely touched, it was more like a brush of skin, but they were imprinted into each other's heart and soul.

What prevented me from giving a higher rate:
Sometimes I found hard connecting with Ethan: while I can understand his need to leave Alaska and put some distance from his mother and Jordyn's painful memories, I don't understand at all why he had to cut his own father off. His explanations don't make any sense, Ken was loving, caring and supportive and he deserved to be loved by his son (luckily, he had Namid who loved him unconditionally).
I also didn't like how he hurt Blue by pushing him away. I think Ethan needed professional help to be able to handle grief and loss because always running and pushing people away is not the healthy thing to do.

Lastly, the first two book have a heavy note of sadness about Jordyn's death, I hope next book will be less painful.

I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest review
