I accidentally read a spoiler about this, but I had already bought it so I needed to read it.
I am so glad I did, because the spoiler did NOTHING in regards to ruining the book for me! Am I pissed I read it, sure am, but oh well.
Kurt O'Donnell wakes up in the hospital only to be told that his partner died in the accident he was involved in as well. Hurt and off duty to recover, Kurt feels that he needs to spend time with Ben's family to help them out. Well, Ben was gay and never told anyone. He and his partner, Davy, had been together for 10 years and lived together. Kurt befriends Davy to help him grieve and mourn. Made sure he ate and slept. They began seeing each other everyday while they were both off of work, then made weekly "dates" to watch the games, have dinner, etc. I loved watching Kurt and Davy's friendship form and grow.
The more Kurt found out about Ben though, the more he didn't like him as a person. To be honest, Ben was a dick. I don't know how Davy put up with him for so long.
Then one day Kurt discovers himself fantasizing about Davy while in bed. When had his feelings changed towards him? When did he start having the hots for other men? Why hadn't all of his previous relationships work? Why didn't he like the sex? Does this mean he's gay?
Overall, excellent story! I am bummed I waited so long to read it.

It really busts my invisible balls that people are so shocked over who they are attracted to. Who cares! Who like someone of the same sex, big whoop. Why dwell on it? Kiss them and see for sure, or get over it. Then Kurt did go after Davy and it was HOT and possessive and HOT! only to be dismissed. For what? 6 months??? God, I love Kurt. I loved his rose, his text messages, etc. So sweet. I am glad that Davy finally got his shit together though. Now, I want to know about Ian :)Overall, excellent story! I am bummed I waited so long to read it.
