Summary:
Rob Jenkins is worried. The relationship he’s been in for six years has become a little stale and not very intimate. He loves Max more than anything, but the man’s sexual fetish of ‘doing things’ in public never interested him.
While Max is away at a two-week business conference, Rob concludes that in order to save their relationship, he needs to make some choices. He surprises Max with a weekend visit, and the offer to play a ‘game’. Will the sexy scenarios be enough, or will they merely expose the flaws in their relationship? (m/m)
There is no mistaking this is the awesome work of Jenna Byrnes and Jude Mason! Two of my favorite m/m authors. Even though this is a very short story (under 60 pages), this story will pull at your heart strings and make you cheer on our hero... or hero's...
If you are new to the m/m pool – these are two excellent authors to start out with. You really need to put these two authors on your MUST buy list.
This story touched me with how personal it felt. We are pulled into Rob and Max's world and not let go until the past page. They have been lover's for six years and counting... As we all know from our own personal relationships - after so many years, sometimes we second guess ourselves and the relationship. Well, that is where Rob is. His conscience won't let go of the fact that Max's wants a little more from him. But Rob seems to put up wall every time Max pushes the boundaries. They argue and put just a little more distance in between each other. Or at least that is how Rob sees it.
Rob evaluates how much he truly wants the relationship he has with Max, the love of his life. He makes a decision that could possible blow up in his face... Would you do that for love? Would you call it quits if you were pushed just a little ? Or would you fight for what you truly want – the love of your life?
This is an emotional love story. Jenna and Jude did an awesome job at making me fall in love with Rob and Max. At one point I wanted to hug Rob and tell him all will be okay and at the same time I wanted to slap Max (just once... okay maybe twice). Okay, I can't go on any more or I would give away the story....
So I will leave you with you with this..... What would you risk for love?

Wow, you make that sound really interesting. I have read a book or two by Jenna I think but never the duo so I'll definitely check it out. Great job.
