2.5 stars I didn't really like Kirk. You can't like someone for months, finally ask them out, take them to dinner, invite yourself into their apartment, tell them you've been watching them and interested in them for months, talk them into having sex, go to work with a promise to call, and NOT mention that you have a date set up for later that week. Yeah it was set up before you even knew you'd be going out with the person you've been watching on the bus, but you have to at least tell the guy about it, and in all reality, if you really liked the guy from the bus for months and you had a date and you got sex from him... then you should have cancelled the date with the random guy you met at some business thing a few weeks ago. And then when the guy that you "supposedly" really like calls, and you're on a date with someone else and he asks if it's a business dinner... you can't just gloss over it with a no and ask him out for the weekend. I don't trust Kirk at all, and I think Elijah was too quick in forgiving him. I know they didn't talk about being exclusive, but what Kirk did was really shady, and he knew it was shady, which is why he DIDN'T tell Elijah about it! I liked the story okay. I like how Elijah and Kirk met. But I did NOT like Kirk at all. He started out fine. He has a secret crush on Elijah, a fellow passenger on a bus. Elijah doesn't seem to notice Kirk at all. The bus is involved in a serious accident and Kirk helps Elijah. They both go in the hospital and there is a misunderstanding and Kirk believes that Elijah's injuries are worse than they actually are. He soon finds out otherwise.All of that was good. Really good. At that point I really liked both characters. Elijah is shy, unassuming. A nerd, as Kirk describes him. Kirk is pretty straightforward but not enough to speak to Elijah on the bus until the accident. They finally get together after weeks of Kirk wanting Elijah. And what happens? Kirk turns into a jerk. They have sex and Kirk doesn't bother calling him in the days following. Elijah calls him only to find out that Kirk is on a date with another man. That pretty much blew it for me as far as Kirk is concerned. Kirk's excuse? He had made the date before he and Elijah hooked up or something but didn't bother to cancel it afterward. That killed it for me. And then sweet, unassuming... dying for someone to love him... Elijah accepts Kirk's lame excuse and all is well. That did not sit well with me. I have read a few others by this author that I have liked fine.... one I actually loved. This one just did not work for me. I will not allow my opinion of this to keep me from reading the others in the series or others by this author. After seeing Toby in this one, I look forward to his story.
