This is the book I've been hoping someone would write for a long time. It's everything I adore in a romance--unique, relatable people, realistic partnerships, and a lasting emotional bond between the main characters. Gale and Saxton have a deep, intimate connection that leaves me 100% certain that these men will be together forever, no matter what happens in their future. The love in this book is truly soul-deep.
This book will probably not be everyone's cup of tea. If you're looking for a super steamy read, try one of Nora's other books. If you're not a fan of "love at first sight" style romances, you may not find Gale and Saxton's immediate connection believable. But if you believe that sometimes fate puts you in the right place at the right time to meet someone, I think you'll appreciate how special Gale and Saxton are. Nora has such an incredible way of expressing emotions, and this book is no exception. Thank you for reaching beyond the conventional tropes in romance to give these men their happily ever after.

So much love in this story!
Gale and Saxton's story has so much love it made me cry. Gale's patience and strength was exactly what Saxton needed to learn to love again. I really enjoyed the crossover of characters from other books. This book will live in my library forever.

The premise of the book had promise but the execution fell short.
The main issue… if you could call it that wasn’t brought up until 90%… and it was kinda predictable. I wished that Saxton opened up to Gale earlier… but oh well.
I am glad I read this, but I feel like even thought this was in the “Perfect Hands” series it should have been in the “No Shame” series since Noah and Company were in it more than the characters in “Perfect Hands”
This book wasn’t necessary for the “Perfect Hands” series, I feel like it could be read as a standalone, or even better as a crossover novel for the two series “Perfect Hands” and “No Shame”.
It was good to get a different view point for this kink, having a demisexual Daddy Dom and an asexual little.

Omg. Saxton and Gale's story was so beautiful. I always love stories about people on the ace spectrum, since there are so very few of them, so I especially loved it for that. I liked the low-angst quality, too.
The characters were well rounded and it was easy to fall in love with them.
Reread 02/2021: This book was so sweet and I loved revisiting it.

i love this book. Absolutely amazing. the characters were lovely. while this book spoke on very dark content and very real struggles, the way the author went about it was for me - perfect. i know in a lot of books the characters fall in love and are magically fixed - and that can be a lovely read. this was real, and sometimes heart wrenching, but i loved it.
