Peter and Rafe have a difficult beginning. When their attraction becomes bigger than either can deny anymore, the consequences of their passion are both exciting and surprising. I really enjoyed Peter. His personality is mellow and hopeful. He's also willing to stand up for himself against Rafe's pomposity and callousness.
Rafe's softening is sweet to see but I feel that there wasn't enough of it. And the groveling wasn't enough for me either. He said some great things and was honest, which was a perfect start, but I was hoping for a little more tender words and gestures rather than us having to infer them like Peter needed to.
Overall, though, they were an ideal match with Peter's ability to soothe Rafe and show him a side of being human that he neglected all too often. Rafe's amazing way of taking care of Peter and giving him the support and stability he needed to feel secure is the perfect complement to Peter's subtle fierceness and innate sense of nurturing those he loves.
The side characters were interesting and just strong enough to be interested in their stories yet none of them stole the stage from Rafe or Peter. With a solid cast around them you could see that it isn't just about this one insular couple, it's how each of these men come together to offer advice, sanctuary, a kick in the ass when necessary, and the love they need to carry through their individual hard times.
