When Sloan Driscoll and Cole Fujiwara become reluctant roommates, neither man is willing to share too much. Sloan is instantly attracted to Cole but knows it's a hopeless cause; Cole has a steady girlfriend. But one night they share a joint, and Cole opens a window neither anticipated. A relationship may be impossible-both men are living with heart-breaking secrets. While Sloan is smart, sassy, and a brilliant graphic artist, he's also a pothead with severe body image problems. Cole, a former major league pitcher, has his own personal crisis: he's going blind. Sloan and Cole are suffering on so many levels, they might not realize that the ultimate salvation could be within each other's arms.

Throughout the book, I got the impression that the author did not have enough knowledge to write about self mutilation and BDSM. Just my impression.Other than that, the 2 main characters were engaging enough.
Very sweet, satisfying ending but sort of frustrating to get there. It was an okay story, but the dialogue was really stilted. Some parts felt like they'd been copied and pasted from an informational brochure, and I don't know anyone who, when talking to someone, inserts that person's name into ever...
3.5 stars. Good m/m romance about two young men who end up as roommates in NYC because their dads were pro baseball teammates once upon a time. One guy is going blind but in denial (about more than just going blind *ahem*). The other is dealing (not so well) with crippling self-esteem issues. This s...
