My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Rory loses a drunken card game on a North Sea oil rig and has to approach his grumpy boss, Macleod, as a dare. What should’ve been a disaster turns into something surprisingly tender. Macleod is thoughtful, steady, and unexpectedly perfect for Rory’s chaos. A joke challenge becomes Northern Lights, quiet moments, and a connection Rory never saw coming.
I really liked the plot of this story, and some of the moments between the two men were genuinely romantic and heartfelt. But the book was weighed down by constant internal monologues, to the point where it felt like very little was actually happening on the page. The ending also left me confused — the men who were supposed to fix the problem simply bailed and left Rory to deal with it, with no explanation or consequences for their incompetence. Overall, a good premise with some lovely scenes, but the execution didn’t quite land for me. This was an MM story with mature content.
