![]() I think I liked their flaws, their very human flaws, most of all but that they looked at themselves and weren't afraid to admit to mistakes and committing to doing better, even if the latter was left unsaid - it didn't need to be said. Had these guys been fluffy types, it'd have stopped me from believing in them, their values, their convictions and they'd have been read-and-forget characters. ![]() I'm not saying that I don't enjoy a fluffy read sometimes, but there are times when I want my lead guys to be 'men's men' (and nope, this is nothing to do with toxic masculinity, simply to do with the feel/genre/setting of a tale) and to be organic and to deliver. ![]() So the title pretty much says it all - I liked that the guys felt real had real feelings that weren't exaggerated or faux that what angst there was had a foundation and was genuine that they had actual, real problems that needed to be talked about because there was no easy fix, no mind reading, no 'let's fix it with sex' and, that they were human, with faults and frailties, strengths and convictions, but when they had to say sorry, they manned up and said the words. ![]() 4* A satisfying read, that seemed far more real than most MM tales I read these days. ![]()
