Gray and Jet Black are identical twins, that play music at clubs in their spare time. They are both full time teachers. Kris has been following them to different gigs, but has never really met them. When Kris, a firefighter responds to a fire at their apartment building, that leaves the twins homeless, he makes the impulsive decision to offer them his spare room. He is attracted to Gray, and would like to get to know him, but Gray is closed off, and even though the attraction is mutual, he is rude and mean to Kris, to push him away.
I have mixed feelings about this book. I really disliked Gray for a good portion of the book, and I felt that Kris was too much of a pushover. He was way too understanding of Gray's actions and I felt he forgave too quickly.
I liked the relationship between the twins, but I found it was TOO much. I have 21 year old twin daughters and they might love each other dearly, but even they wouldn't hug and kiss as much as Gray and Jet did. I know it was nothing sexual, but at times their relationship was too mushy.
The story at times was uninteresting and kind of boring. This was a good storyline, but it needed some more excitement. But I have to say, even though I was kind of bored at times and craved something more, I couldn't put it down. I had to see what was going to happen next, or if anything was going to happen.
A major problem with this book is at times, was things were told more than once. If you have explained to me the reader, through inner dialogue what happened, when that person tells the story to another character(s), don't rewrite the whole thing. Sum it up. I felt done stories were repeated, and I just wanted to skim ahead.
I thought the ending was nice, but it felt a bit rushed. I would have liked to have more closure in the end. The story was drawn out, and then suddenly it was over.
I would love to see Jet's book, I just hope the relationship between the twins isn't as mushy in his story.
I feel like this review is all negatives, and I'm sorry. I did enjoy the story, I just wish it had been more exciting.
