This was a disappointing addition to an otherwise good series. To be honest, it became a struggle to keep reading it towards the end & here's the reasons why, though warning, slight spoilers follow:
1) The names of the 2 MCs were a tad ridiculous - Vannguard & Drayton. Vannguard's name did at least have semblance of meaning to it, but the other name was just daft & together - eye-rolling.
2) The way Vannguard miraculously recovered from a 10 year sentence and became an amazing designer running an entire department in a matter of weeks, despite having had panic attacks seemingly days earlier. It didn't make sense & was the biggest bug-bear of the book
3) The car stuff, it just became yawn-inducing & the bad guy head of design, a cliche.
4) Drayton's character was irritating - an amazing brain, slightly autistic in his handling of humans & with a horrible parentage. Whilst this should have made him appealing, the way he was written to me, made him unappealing.
5) Vannguard's crime & prison sentence was a criminal oversight that should have been up for review or is the American legal system really that skewed & poor?
6) The lack of a role for the Half Way House, which had been so key in previous books, was set aside in this one, to its detriment.
In all, too many irritations to make it a really good read, it was just an average OK one sadly, and a disappointment in the series. Two & a half stars, rounded up to three.

There was so much love, passion, tenderness and belief between Dray and Vann...in their looks, in their touches, the intensity built up over ten years of loneliness and grief that you just knew [and prayed like mad] that everything would work out for them....and the letters, Gahd the letters [gulp] just about killed me. The letters Dray sent every week while Vann was in prison, and the replies Vann wrote but never sent...kept in a notebook just for Dray to read when Vann got out....honestly, if you're in need of a good cry for whatever reason then this story and especially those letters should really help. The guys certainly lost out in the family stakes BUT thank God they had each other; Dray's cold and arrogant bitch of a mother [and I use that term loosely] and Vann's greedy, violent and drunken arse of a sperm donor would have made great pantomime villains, with the audience shrieking 'boo, hiss' at every appearance and no doubt throwing things at the stage...quite weighty objects too I would imagine, hehe.
Liked having the little catch-up with all the other MC's of the previous stories in the series too, although I suppose this would work just as well as a standalone...it's all about the wonderful writing she says sagely!!
