In 2045, Russian-born Nick comes “home” to Australia for the funeral of an old friend. After a ten-year absence, he finds a country scarred by drought and a people scarred by technology. He grieves for Ben, whose death has left his friends bewildered. He grieves for Australia, the country that forced him to leave. But his greatest grief is for Daniel. Although Daniel is alive, it seems their friendship is dead. And Nick has no idea why.

    3.5 stars- not QUITE good enough to get the bump up to 4. Solid story, doubt I'll want to reread it.

    Sweet story. Lex & Tally are one of those couples that just make you grin like an idiot. :)

    High school bully comes back years later a changed man and falls for man he tormented in school. It's predictable, but still entertaining.

    M.J. O'Shea is a fantastic author, the character developement and plot are well written. The words flowed so well that I couldn't put this book down.

    This is a story of two men one was the bully and the other was the one being bullied. You see and feel the tension and the build up of a new romance starting. Can Lex forgive and forget and try to understand Tallis actions when he was younger. Can he see past his own hurt and forgive Tallis?

    It was hard at time reading this.....as I did get mad at Tallis and not sure if I could forgive him .....but I will try to move on.

    This is a romance story about forgiveness and understanding that people do change.

    M.J. O'Shea has once again written a great story, and would recommend this book to anyone who enjoy's m/m romance.

    I enjoyed this book. I really liked Lex and Tally and there were some great supporting characters, but when they were working out their stuff and really happy together and I was only at 50%, I started to get anxious, because I've been reading romance novels for a long time - I know we're not going to get another 100 pages of them happy together. It took another 50 pages for the other shoe to drop and while I knew who was going to be the problem - it didn't happen like I expected it to, so in a way it was worth the anxiety. :-D It did end a bit abruptly, but since there are more books in this series, I'm hoping we'll see more of Lex and Tally.

    Any chance Drew and Mason get a story?

    So, a victim of bullying falling for their torturer is a theme I've always been fascinated with (even if I have to suspend disbelief because I can't imagine ever wanting to be intimate with ANY of the people who bullied me). I think the theme was done well here. There was a reasonably slow build up, with Lex wavering between his attraction to Tally and his memories of the bullying. I ended up genuinely liking the MCs together and they had amazing chemistry.

    The last quarter of the book seemed rushed. I did like the idea of Tally facing his co-conspirators and having to choose between their idolizing and Lex's love. It felt very 'full circle'. However, the book got a little more 'tell' than 'show' from then on, particularly around Brock's 'punishment' for bashing Lex and the resolution of the MCs relationship troubles.

    I did really enjoy this book, though.
