I found him inexplicably sexy, especially when he was doing his sex surrogacy stuff, and so sweet that it killed me. But this book! Gah! It was so in-your-face emotional! I felt so much for these characters: Empathy and compassion for Eli's patients, tender towards James, and so incredibly in love with Michael. It isn't often that a book makes me actually cry. Pictured me huddled around my book so my uber-religious seat mates couldn't read about the scorching hot man-sex happening on page. Just to set the stage, I started this book on a plane from Chicago to New York, surrounded on all sides by Orthodox Jews. DAMN, Eli Easton just NAILED this one and she nailed it HARD!! But they must let go of stubbornness to see that life finds a way and love has no limitations. Michael and James are made for each other. When he is forced to do a book signing and meets Michael Lamont, he can’t believe a guy who looks like Michael could be interested in a man like him. Wheelchair bound, James has isolated himself, convinced he is unlovable. Guise books have been in decline for years. But by twenty-eight, he's lost his inspiration and his will to live. He wrote a best-selling science fiction novel at the tender age of eighteen, while bedridden with complications of polio. James Gallway’s life is slowly but inexorably sliding downhill. He spends most of his spare time reading science fiction, especially books written by his favorite author and long-time crush, the mysteriously reclusive J.C. But what he really wants is a love of his own. Michael is small, beautiful, and dedicated to working with people who need him.

Everyone admires Michael Lamont for being a nurse, but his part-time work as a gay sex surrogate not only raises eyebrows, it's cost him relationships.
