Getting Us Right
Dear Author,
I gave him my heart on a silver platter, and he ruthlessly threw it back in my face. I honestly don’t know what he thinks I did that’s so bad that he won’t have anything to do with me, not even take my phone calls. I promise I didn’t do anything!! He gave me everything, spoilt me, and told me I didn’t need to worry about anything. Now, left alone, vulnerable, with no job, no money, no food, and nowhere to live, I am only a shell of a man that once was there.
Of course, with time, he figured out that whatever it is he thought I did was false. How do we get to that place in the picture of us being us together again? How could I forgive a man who was so quick and could easily delete me from his life? How do I forget all that I have gone through and begin to trust him again?
Photo Description:
The photo is black and white, two men wrapped around each other in what looks to be a bedroom; one man sitting in the other’s lap, his legs wrapped around his lover’s back.
This story was written as a part of the M/M Romance Group's "Love is an Open Road" event. Group members were asked to write a story prompt inspired by a photo of their choice. Authors of the group selected a photo and prompt that spoke to them and wrote a short story.

Not sure I wanted them to get back together!
Didn't think much of either of them.

Luke warm. I had a hard time connecting with the characters. Everything felt rushed. I could tell the author made an effort with the prompt though, so thank you for that. I was ready to give this book 3 stars, until I read the epilogue . I mean, was that necessary? Everyone is happy , but the writer was like: no, I shall not leave my readers with a warm feeling in their bellies. Not forgiven. That cost you a whole star.

1.5 I finished it but only because I was hoping for a different ending for Ryan. SMH...

I really liked this story. It was so loving and then very heartbreaking. I do think the forgiveness came too easily after everything that Ryan went through, but I am glad that David finally came around and realized all the pain and suffering he caused Ryan. I think this would be a great opportunity to make this a short story series. I'd like to find out what happened with Justin and his boyfriend Adam, and I'd like to find out if Richard ever stops being a fucking douche bag to Christian.

October 11, 2015Did not finish. I lost interest after a confusing setup and a degrading follow-up. Imagine, someone says "Who's that?" and it's the guy he's been living with for a year.

I got tired of David being the rich guy who always had to be right, kept Ryan in his closet. David would rather hurt than talk.

Ryan and David been together for a while. David still in the closet when one finds out about him. He blames ryan for all this so there is misunderstanding. This leads to ryan on the street once again but leads him to an escorts agency. Not a great things but his only choice i guess only. But of course david finds out ryan had nothing to do with anything. IS there any hope with these guys and will they get back what they had once.

DNF. I didn't like the MCs. They were both insecure - one a fragile egotistical control freak and the other a low self esteem doormat.

Hard to love a book when you hate a MC.

What.. um that was weird. I didn't like it that much. I was bored and skipped even, which says something considering its size.
and the ending, hehe telling their story to their kids? Err what?
