Oldest Caldwell brother Kairo gets his chance at love in this final book of the ‘Caldwell Brothers’ romance series. Kairo and Jun have been bitter rivals since medical school. Their competition for top physician at the hospital begins to stir up Jun’s long-repressed attraction to Kairo. Will Jun accept his sexuality and choose love with Kairo over the demands of his ultra-conservative parents?
There’s some medium-angst in the telling of Jun’s journey to his true self. Thankfully, the authors don’t torture the readers too heavily with it (I’m angst-phobic). Jun’s struggles in coming out are realistic. Kairo is Jun’s support system while he explores his newly-admitted sexuality, which make for some steamy scenes. Family also plays a big part in the story. The authors do a nice job contrasting the loving Caldwell family against Jun’s overbearing parents. The ending neatly completes the family theme of the entire series.
Austin Jay’s narrating is a tad over-dramatic for my taste, but it’s not to the point of distraction. All-in-all it’s a good performance.
