In the 300 pages of this novel we are told countless times how much Neal loves Dylan, how their physical need is overwhelming and little else. The story itself could have been told in no more than 50 pages (perhaps even less) all in all.
Problem is, this is no porn, though some sex scenes are explicit enough, so that the result is simply boring.
This is most absurd because the author seems to know perfectly well what she is doing: the writing is neat, characterization accurate and fairly consistent; action scenes, the few that there are, are well developped. How a skilled writer could decide to write a novel about nothing simply escapes my understanding.
Another flaw, more linked to my personal point view, is that the author, a woman, simply fails to catch the difference between a woman and a gay man: Neal is a lovable character but he seems to think and act like a woman, surely not like a gay man.” -

i was disappointed
“The sci-fi story was interesting, and it's nice to read a book with gay characters. However, the main characters can't seem to keep their hands off of each other, even in serious situations. I just found it very distracting.”

A fun read
“I really enjoyed this book. It takes place in the future and is a bit of a thriller/mystery. There's a great love story and a lot of action. I finished it in one day as I couldn't wait to see what happened. I recommend it if you're looking for a good fun read for a long weekend.”

Ms. Snyder has great potential but...
“I've been a fan of Ms. Snyder since the "Forever" days. I think she is a very talented writer and I'm glad to see that she's made the jump to publishing (and I hope it's a successful one for her). However, having said that, and having read most of her early work, I see many similarities between her stories. The stories all seem to have a very familiar storyline, characterization, and outcome. I often feel that I am reading the same story with different character names.
I hope this is something she can work on and overcome. I feel that if she would be able to add more depth to her characters and storyline, she would be able to offer her readers a more attractive and grabbing story every time instead of just the first time.”
