Beau Bell is a former Olympic hopeful, left paralyzed from the waist down after a car accident. He has every reason in the world to be pissed off and miserable, yet he’s training for the Paralympics Men's 100m—S6 division. The chair? Just a part of who he is now. Beau's attitude is golden. If only he could contend with this one little issue: errant erections and no way to relieve them!

Niksa Meríc is a lonely scientist and really bad poet living underneath the old building where he does his research. Every night he watches his neighbor through his basement window as he undresses in his wheelchair. Although there is no apparent reason for Niksa to be unhappy, he’s struggled with depression his whole life and has tried to kill himself on multiple occasions.

When Beau proposes that his “voyeur” come over and help him experiment with the erections he can’t actually feel, the relationship they build is a sexual one. But the relationship they need is one that will heal each other’s heart as well.

Review

I have found a new author I really like in Raine O'Tiernery. This is one of her more dark offerings as the heroes are both engaged in struggles.

The fall in love here is quick but the frank exploration of sexuality in a disabled body is well done as is the look at issues of chemical imbalance.

I love the driven swimmer and the scientist pairing.

I wish the world of each man was a little wider than what we see here and that we got more time with them but it is a very engaging read.
