Review: Short… where are my other two colors? *sniff*
Cam has been in love with his brother’s best friend, Tyler, for as long as he can remember. The fact that he’s in a steady relationship right now doesn’t detour his impending infidelity. Neil has been distant and borderline abusive and Cam finds solace with the man he’s wanted since he was a boy. But Tyler is not boyfriend material and reminds Cam of that at every turn. When Tyler realizes who Neil is and that the man has a mean streak, he does a complete 180 and tries to convince Tyler to dump Neil and move in with him. Cam is so confused he doesn’t know what to do, or who to choose.
There were so many issues with this novella that it took away from the overall story. It was a mass of major topics crammed into forty something pages, and the story suffered. I could see underlying potential for a great novel, and I’d be eager to view this title again if Anderson did just that.
