4.5 stars. This is a highly readable m/m romance told in the first person from abuse victim Avery's pov. He slowly comes to terms with the fact that admirer Noah is not out to hurt him.
I have a weakness for broken men and the ones who take the time to love them. Avery and Sam's childhood and teen years are nothing new in the real world, unfortunately.
