I really do love A.B. Gayle. Despite the insta-love nature of this book I was really happy to finally read Nathaniel and Danny’s story. I really enjoyed both characters when they appeared in Alison’s other books and really wanted to see how they came together. I was not disappointed.

Daniel is Chinese, born in Australia, but he grew up in the US. After spending a number of years as a stunt man in Hollywood fighting in place of a number of actresses he’s returned to Australia. His parents never approved of his being gay they would have really freaked out over his female impersonations on screen. Now he’s enjoying his time as a photographer and helping his elderly landlord with her mission. Living right along the edge of the cliffs where many suicides choose to jump has the two conspiring to do what they can to help.

Nathaniel Taylor was an extremely successful photographer before tragedy touched his life. Blaming himself Taylor’s retreated from a lot of the things he used to do. He often finds himself sitting on the cliff face, remembering. Taylor hasn’t picked up his camera in a long time. When a random, but beautiful Chinese tourist asks him to help him take a picture at the lighthouse to send to his mother Taylor finds himself drawn in whether he wants to be or not.

I’m going to completely forget about the insta-love here and pretend in my own little head that this story takes place over longer than a day. Mostly because Taylor and Daniel are so perfect for each other and they learn a lot about each other in such a short time. I loved how Daniel initiated the contact but Taylor quickly took over as the more dominant of the pair. Daniel was still attempting to hide the Dannii side of his personality almost it. But Taylor’s reaction to the emergence of that side of Daniel’s personality let him feel safe and wanted for the all of himself for the first time. His ex and his parents had always denied parts of Daniel. Taylor wanted it all.

I actually really enjoyed the premise of this story. I liked what Daniel and his landlady were attempting to do. The idea that sometimes all a person needs is to be shown that somebody cares is a good one. It leaves me with a feeling of hope for humanity. The subterfuge they used was cute and amusing. I enjoyed the fact that she had advertised to find someone who would fit the guidelines she wanted to be able to help those in need. It’s just such a sweet plan for a little old lady to enact.

I absolutely adore the writing style of Ms. Gayle. She writes with such smooth prose and the story flows along beautifully. In spite of the insta-love of the characters I really felt the connection between these two men. They have mutual interests that gave them a place from which to begin their relationship and I loved the use of the photography to bring them closer together. Together they were very sexy and the sparks few between them.

In the future I hope to see more of these two together. I just find them so wonderful and I didn’t want it to end. I loved watching both men start to open up, Taylor starting to live again and Daniel coming out of his shell. They’re just so good for each other. And that photo shoot in Taylor’s study was just beautifully heart wrenching. I just want to cuddle them both. Danny freak out on Graham was fantastic and wonderful and giggle worthy. LOVE IT!!!

It really is official, Ms. Gayle is one of my favorite authors and I will continue to devour each book she puts out. 4.5 stars I'm going to round up to 5 stars, because I can.
