Their past and their present were connected and everything made sense. I loved that the characters were well defined and that their arcs were coherent. Though the heat level was medium, each encounter had meaning and helped building the relationship between Declan and Brett. It wasn’t your regular instalove–though they became serious very fast. I really enjoyed how they learned about each other through written notes first, and that their first real meeting was enough to make them fall for each other. Is it possible they have more in common than they realized? Can they overcome the rough start to their friendship and turn it into something more? Or if they let their relationship become about more than just the “D” are they both bound to end up brokenhearted? That’s why nobody is more surprised than Brett when their thinly veiled threatening letters take a turn for the fun and flirtatious. He’s a dickhead, and Brett has the letters to prove it. It doesn’t matter that the guy in 403B is the best-looking man Brett has ever laid eyes on. He doesn’t get into arguments, and he doesn’t name-call like a kid on the playground. But when he gets into a war of words with his neighbor, he earns a new nickname, and this time, it’s one he likes, one he decides he should definitely live up to.Īfter all, the new guy never actually said what it was the D stands for in his letters, but Declan has a few ideas and would be more than happy to show him.īrett Coburn is a mature, respectable adult. As a child in foster care, he heard it all, and as an adult he knows better than to worry about what other people think of him. Drug baby, delinquent, and dirty little gay boy just to name a few. Sometimes a change of address can change your whole life.ĭeclan Ward has been called a lot of things in his life.
