Book Review

Best friends who stay together through thick and thin are rare, and those who meet as children and stay together over years are even less frequent. In this book Rod, a famous rock star, and Hawk, a dedicated doctor, have been friends pretty much since kindergarten and have already been through a lot – what with Rod’s addictions, various rehab programs, and constant absence. Both men have secretly carried a torch for each other for a long time, yet they have never taken the next step. This is the story of how and why they realize they belong together as far more than friends.

Rod is a successful rock musician, with all the issues that come with stardom. He travels a lot, leaving him lonely in hotel rooms all over the world. He has repeatedly faced addiction to alcohol and drugs – but has finally managed to pull out of that bad habit with the help of Hawk, who was no longer willing to see Rod destroy himself. He has been sober for three years, but the one addiction he can’t get rid of – not that he has ever tried - is his secret love for Hawk.

Hawk is a great guy: supportive, selfless, and a motivated doctor in a reservation clinic Rod helped to set up. He loves Rod to distraction, but has never said anything because he is the settling-down kind, and Rod needs to spread his wings. But now Hawk faces a serious problem and he needs Rod to be there for him because some things are too scary to go through by himself.

If you like stories about two lonely friends becoming lovers, if you think a rock star with wanderlust and a doctor who want a permanent home can make it, and if you’re looking for a read that goes from entertaining to serious and is as heartwarming as it is hot, then you will probably like this novella.
