A lovely, low-angst story about two very sweet men who finally find love after they have been secretly pining for each other since they first met.

Ian and Ash are wonderful together. They are so clearly smitten with each other (I’m surprised they were able to hide it for so long). After the build-up of them each dreaming of the other, being sure they were getting vibes (though they were equally sure they were misreading them), it was absolute fire when they first kissed. The lead-up and backstories were so well written, that there was no question they were meant to be together, and felt absolutely believable. The light d/s dynamic gave their story a little kick, taking it from just a sweet story, to a sweet and steamy one. It was a great twist, and I loved everything about it.

I’m also smitten with how readily they accepted each other for who they were, and what they loved, and were quick to defend each other when necessary.

This was absolutely a swoony, steamy, and beautiful story.
