This isn't a book I would have picked up on my own. When I found it, I was on the warpath to find some hard-core high fantasy. I talked to a lady at Barnes and Noble and she handed me this book. I almost put it back down but figured why not. I wasn't particularly motivated to read any of the other books I bought so I started in on this one. I was hooked halfway through the first chapter. Ash is dark and so thoroughly broken. I related to him on so many levels. Then Darian came along and he's so easily loveable. So polite and understanding. It almost made me cry the first time I read it. I finished the book in three days. It was such an incredible read. Honestly if you're looking for a good broken romance this the book I would recommend every time.

Glitterland is full of sex and emotional upheaval. Ash is a successful author with “type 1 bipolar depressive with clinical anxiety disorder.” He’s attending a friend’s stag party when he notices a very attractive, sparkly man, Darian across the room. They end up hooking up, at least that’s what Ash tells himself, but there’s something about Darian he just can’t forget…his “glittering pirate.” Darian with his very strong Essex accent and an innocent sweetness that is opposite Ash and his posh friends has woken something in Ash he thought was long dead.
