Not a bad story, but the writing was pretty mediocre. A lot of telling instead of showing, unimpressive dialogue, flat characters, and an overall lack of depth anywhere in the story. The character are not really developed very much, and it doesn't seem like their relationships are either. Tony and Daniel's love is charming in its sweetness, but it's lacking in believability because of that very lack of fire and anything other than "dawwwww I love you so much!" in their relationship. The book is not without its merits, but it could have been made better in so many places. ( )

This one is maybe the more angst in the Campus Cravings series.

Daniel is a thirty something art professor in the local college. He is a submissive by nature, cause he is only used to associate pain with love. He has has a tragic experience when he was a child and now he needs someone in his life that can give him a safe place to stay and stability. After being beaten almost to death by a man he refuses to accuse, Daniel agrees to stay with Tony, a wealthy businessman. Tony is a top by nature, but he couldn't bring himself to be a dominant like Daniel seems to need. He will try to convince this man that love can be alsto sweetness and comfort.

Daniel is not a weak character. He is instead very strong and he has managed to razionalize what is happened in his childhood and rebuilt a life that apparently seems normal. But he needs a man beside that help him to overcome his issues with intimate relationship. And Tony is the right man. He is very emotive, but not impressionable; he is gentle, and probably deeply in love, but he knows that he can't bertray himself to "play" the role of the man Daniel seems to need .

This last in the Campus Cravings series is slightly different from the former ones: we only see the appearance of three of the multiple gay characters that seem to have conquered this little province town. But I have just seen that in the next enstalment I will have the chance to read of Nate, a character I'm waiting.
