I loved Rafferty and Stan to bits, but they were really frustrating! I wanted to knock some sense into them for most of the book. I got where they were coming from, but really, the miscommunication between them dragged endlessly and the whole thing with Bennett, Stan’s boyfriend, made me want to scream.
It wasn’t all bad, though, Stan and Rafferty had lots of chemistry and were definitely hot together and I adored their friendship/relationship, even if we got to see most of it through flashbacks. I think Ms. Morton dealt with Stan’s blindness in a very sensitive manner and I loved that all their friends and family were more aware of Stan and Rafferty’s feelings than they were.
Even if the read was frustrating at times, I was invested in Raff and Stan getting their HEA, and I was fairly happy with how it all got resolved (even if Bennett didn’t deserve that ending).
The narration was pretty good, Joel Leslie did a great job with most of the characters, and although it wasn’t my favorite of the books he’s performed, it was still enjoyable, so I have no problem recommending it.
