Likeable characters, but very shortWarning: This review might contain what some people consider SPOILERS. Rating: 7/10PROS: - The characters are engaging. They have their ups and downs, they bicker, and each of them reveals at least one major insecurity he suffers from. Skyler is my favorite of the two, simply because he strikes me as far more complex than Maxwell.- I liked seeing the little hints about the characters’ history together. In the first story, there’s not much background, and I wanted to know how they’d met, how they’d started a relationship, etc.CONS:- It’s super short. Just over 300 Kindle locations. It’s sweet for what it is, but there’s not a lot to it.Overall comments: I enjoyed this story as well as its predecessor, Only Words. Each one contains a few conversations, one or two sexy scenes, and just a smattering of background information. The problem is that even combined, they’re not long enough to create much of a story. things are going well, and Max is getting an award from the city but it’s the first time he’s taking Skylar out with him. He’s understandably nervous how Sky will be accepted. However Sky surprises him and shows up in a suit, no make-up, and looking decidedly “manly”. While accepting the award Max figures to hell with it and announces to the world that he loves Sky and he makes him a better person and a better cop. Everyone stands and applauds.Realistic? Ummm. Not likely. LOL He also says Sky never needs to shave. Are their guys with no facial hair (except for some ethnic groups – and Sky’s never mentioned to be anything but Caucasian male)? I’m not big on cross dressing stories but I did like how Sky finally forced Max to face up to the fact that Sky was a guy and he was gay.
