My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Paul had felt like he was drowning for five years after losing everything that mattered to him. Then he sees nineteen-year-old Charlie on the street trying to act tough and offers him his spare room to stay in. As time goes on, he cares for Charlie with an intensity that he shouldn't because he has no idea what he's done, the kind of person he is; and if he ever found out, he would hate him. Charlie has spent his life being told it is wrong to be gay and love another man and so he left home as being on the streets was preferable. Paul's rescue stuns Charlie as no one ever cared for him before and he wonders what the catch is. But as time passes, he realises there is no catch but how can a man 27 years older than him want him?
I loved this story with the older man who was just captivated by the younger Charlie and how they fell in love with each other. I liked that Charlie was determined to work for his keep and that Paul wanted him to finish his education. Lots of tender moments in this story and lots of big emotions as they navigate the source of Paul's pain and their relationship. I loved Paul's ex-wife. Easy to read and lots of big feelings to be understood. This was an MM story with mature content.
