When The Walls Come Down by Harper Robson

I would describe this as a classic romance novel. A lovely story with two likeable older (cough*40s) guys who have experienced some crappy things in life, but are pretty content in life now. But is being content enough when you realize what life could be like with someone who loves you?
Dylan and Reed met briefly at the ER where Reed works, and there’s an instant attraction for both of them, but it isn’t until chance (and a pregnant sister) bring them together again that they have a possibility of making a connection.
Something more than just attraction makes Dylan impulsive around Reed, and he makes an offer to help with renovations that may have been a little ambitious for Reed. An offer that ensures they will see a lot of each other.
This is a well-crafted story of these two guys navigating a burgeoning relationship around walls they’ve both built to protect themselves from a crappy childhood and a world that doesn’t easily make space for someone who is autistic.
I’ve only read a short story by Harper prior to this, but I enjoy her writing style and pace. I’m also a fan of Neurodivergent characters and I especially love me some 40 and older characters. So overall a really pleasant read, one that means I need to go back and read book one, and look forward to future books.
