A review by charms1976
Cost of Repairs by A.M. Arthur

4.0

Cost of Repairs is the first book in the Cost of Repairs series by author A.M. Arthur. It is a M/M Romance with the main characters being Sam Briggs and Rey King. As the warning above mentions, there is angst and hot man-on-man action aplenty in this book.

Sam Briggs has just moved to Stratton, PA. He left New Mexico after a tragedy had him needing to get away from the painful memories. Rey King has also had some hard times and is barely making it day by day. When they both meet, the sparks fly and they both find something they weren't looking for. What starts out as a fling, ends up being just what they both needed in the love department.

If you are thinking this is just a book about falling in love between the two, you are wrong. This book is full of angst and the happy times are few. With that being said, the angst made this book actually work. I found I was curious about the dark pasts of both characters. I wanted to learn their dirty little secrets. I wanted them both to be able to work past those things and just be good together. While the book did slow down in parts and get a little repetitive, I found myself not really minding too much because the characters carried the story for me. I was already curious about the two men that I didn't mind reading about the unimportant things that were thrown in.

Overall, I am pleased that I heard about this book. I now have a new author in the M/M world to follow and to enjoy.
