After the Weekend: Love and Care Book 2, Silvia Violet

"Some enchanted evening,

You may see a stranger,

You may see a stranger,

Across a crowded room,

And somehow you know..."

From their first meeting somehow Graham and Avery knew they were made just for one another.  But how long can intense passion and an inkling, a yearning for more last before it fades?  Neither of these men want to let go of one another and there's no one in their life that wishes them apart either.  Fears and self-doubt, however, might sabotage their chances at a happily-ever-after.  They'll each need to decide what they're willing to give, and let go of, to truly start their own forever, together.

The passion and sensuality are palpable and incendiary right from the start.  There's no denying that they're stellar for one another in the bedroom.  I really, really enjoyed watching them figure out how to navigate their comfort level with boundaries.  Every aspect of it was honest and their communication was perfection.  While there were moments when one of them, or both, would hold back their reservations, there was an innate understanding from the other party and they'd address the difficulty.  With everything out in the open I could absolutely believe in their rightness as a couple, one that would last far longer than their initial weekend connection.

Graham was sweet, patient, understanding, caring, and all that a good Daddy should be.  He seemed too good to be true but simultaneously genuine.  I didn't doubt that he really was all those things.  The way he felt for Avery was beautiful.  His willingness to give all and be all Avery needed was so far from the smothering I was kind of expecting.  Instead, there was freedom and openness in addition to the dominance Avery craved and received.

Avery had a good head on his shoulders.  He did have a tendency to over-complicate things which led to the relationship's conflict, but I absolutely respected his reasoning.  I wasn't a fan of everyone calling him an idiot for not wanting to jump into what Graham was offering.  It annoyed me even though I agreed a little...BUT, I only agreed because he was allowing fear trump his heart and objectivity.  For him to not want to take advantage of Graham was admirable.  The decision Avery made in the end was perfect and well-thought out so I felt that it justified the distance even though it seemed the focus was on his emotional upset rather than finding the best solution.

Together Avery and Graham just fit.  In every way they were perfect for one another.  I fell in love with them even more.  And the side characters were just the right amount of supportive so that they didn't overshadow Avery and Graham's evolution but were compelling enough that I MUST read their stories.  Awesome story, incredible chemistry, good flow, absolutely satisfying.
