Reviews for Love, Jamie

[crtsjffrsn · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Jamie is a technician working in a rehab facility while studying to become a physical therapist. When a new patient, Grant, shows up and sparks Jamie's interest, he truly believes this could be the start of something - especially when Grant comes out and makes it know the attraction is mutual. But when jealous Donnie, the son of Jamie's boss, makes it clear he thinks Jamie belongs to him, will they be able to weather the storm?

While I could definitely see the sweetness intended in the relationship here, I had a few problems with this story. First, the ethical issue of Jamie coming onto a patient and the inviting him to come live in his house is totally glossed over - even the facility's administrator doesn't even bat an eye. Second, the speed with which the relationship grows is unrealistically fast - even for a romance, in my opinion. Third, the way things progress with Donnie comes across as rather unrealistic, too. And, finally, the dialogue in the sex scenes is completely over-the-top. I appreciated the intent of the story, but it just didn't work for me.
