The Half of Us
By Cardeno C.
Published: October 10th 2014 by Dreamspinner Press
Short-tempered, arrogant heart surgeon Jason Garcia grew up wanting a close-knit family, but believes he ruined those dreams when he broke up his marriage. The benefit of divorce is having as much random sex as he wants, and it’s a benefit Jason is exploiting when he meets a sweet, shy man at a bar and convinces him to go home for a no-strings-attached night of fun.
4.5 Star Review by Jen Skewes
The Half of Us was such a beautiful m/m love story. It was one of the books that I devoured in
one sitting. I think what I loved the
most about this book is how real and genuine these characters were.
Jason is a heart surgeon who is divorced with two teenage
kids. He was not the best husband but
him and his wife have remained friends.
She understands why their marriage ended and the reasons behind it. Jason is now a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of
guy. His only interest in one night
stands. When he meets the very sexy and
very shy Abe at a bar one night, he wastes no time getting him in bed. He convinces him to have just one night of no
strings attached sex. Abe isn’t one to
normally have sex with a guy that he just met but there is something about
Jason that causes him to give in to the desire and attraction that he feels for
this man. Their one night of hot
passionate sex ends and so does their contact.
Until Jason finds himself, still thinking about Abe. One night soon
turns into two nights, and then three nights.
And then Jason finds that he wants Abe in more ways than he
expected.
Abe is a shy and sweet, relationship type kind of guy. He normally doesn’t do the whole one night
stand thing. But Jason was
different. He let himself have fun and
be with him. But something happened
along the way. He began falling for the
heart surgeon who completely rocked his world.
But he knows that Jason is not one for relationships and knows that
things need to go slow if their relationship is to go any where. Jason begins to have feelings for Abe that he
isn’t sure what to do with, and he has reservations and fears about those
feelings. Will he be able to open
himself up to this man that has
completely captured him?
I loved Jaosn and Abe together. But what I loved was how real the two of them
were. Abe knew the limits when it came
to Jason. Yes he knew what he wanted from him and how he felt but he was
patient and didn’t push. Their
relationship slowly built into something more than sex. Jason knew he was having feelings for him but
he was so afraid of those feelings and what they meant. He needs to accept the relationship and
feelings that he has for Abe in order to move forward and have that happy family
that he wants.
Jason has an ex and two teenagers and what I loved was the
relationship that he had with them. I
loved that Jason and his ex were still friends and how she
played a part in making him realize his true feelings.
But it wasn’t just about Jason and his kids it was also about Abe and
how he was involved in their family as well.
I loved how much he cared for his kids and how much he wanted to be a
part of their life. I loved watching
Jason grow and see how much he felt for Abe.
I loved watching them deal with the issues that they faced in their
relationship. This is a sweet and very
sexy story about two men finding love when least expected. I always love a good m/m romance when you
feel the eomtions of both men. To me the
best m/m romances are those that involve emotions and are about more than just
sex. Don’t get me wrong, Abe and Jason
were very sexy together and Jason was sexy as all heck with his dirty
mouth. But there was a real love story
in between the sex and I loved it. Definitely
a must read!
