David, Renewed by Diana Copland
5.0
How much do I love thee, let me count the ways!
Oh sweet Lord this book is good. It's difficult to pinpoint exactly why it's so good, but it is.
It has a seriously slow burn romance between two radically different men who fall in love over house renovations.
It has an annoying ex who just can't let go and who takes things to the extremes.
It has a whole bunch of gay craftsmen who have suffered with losing contracting work because of their sexuality.
It has a bunch of beautifully depicted secondary characters including David's brilliantly cutting best friend and work colleague Michael, and Jackson's stereotype busting painter friend Gil. I hope we get their story next.
It has amazing sex, the first time these two go any further than just kissing is so incredibly passionate and when they finally make love the emotions fly off the page and sear your heart.
I loved the whole setting of this book, the feel of these turn of the century craftsman homes with their quirks and unique features, this book was firmly anchored in a world which felt real.
And the cover, well yes, indeed, where can I find my own David and Jackson please :D
