This short story - as good as it was - could have benefited from being either a lot longer or a bit shorter. There were two porny flashbacks which were unnecessary and which kind of took away from the emotion and intimacy of the actual reunion because we'd seen it already. Take these out and the story would have benefited. On the other hand, if this was a novella, we could have kept the flashbacks but had a bit more build up to the reunion which would have given a 'hard fought for' feeling to the scenes were they'd come together again. Either way, I loved the premise of this story and the writing was great. I liked both the MCs and was rooting for them to get back together. Bought and Paid For is, as the title suggests, a bit of Cinderfella story mixed with Romeo and Jules. Deacon and Parker were in love, both young, successful and happy, Deacon an art dealer and Parker a young promising oncologist. True, their life was not perfect, Parker worked long hours, but Deacon loved him so much that was always ready to comfort and wait for him. Then Deacon's father, a Senator, put a veto on this relationship, it was unacceptable for his son to be gay, and he swore to destroy every man in Deacon's life. Here maybe is the only side that I didn't like so much about Deacon, he had not the strength to oppose to his father, but, as the story was planned, it was also maybe the only good thing to do. Deacon staged a fake cheating and obviously Parker left him with a broken heart, but still with his beloved work as a doctor. Two years later Deacon's father is dead, and without being missed by his son or his employees, and Deacon is free to try to conquer Parker again. A charity bachelor action is a good chance and now Deacon has also the money to be sure that he will be the higher bidder. From that moment on, the story is pretty much a sweet romance, with the revelation that, despite two years apart, both men are still deeply in love. Both Deacon than Parker are apparently strong men, tall and handsome, but they are also easily wounded when feelings are involved. Basically they are two romantic hearts, they believe in forever and only love and being forced to be apart was almost their death, at least from a emotional point of view. They are like those animals that bound only one time in their life and when one of the mate dies, the other soon follows him. The author has the chance to push a lot on the angst button, but she chooses to dose it; with Parker's job it would have been easy to arise sympathy for him, and instead she only gave a glimpse on it when serves her to describe how caring Deacon was for his lover. Other than that, more than on the angst button, she chooses to push on the emotional one. Deacon's choice how to use his inherited money, his actions towards Parker, but also Parker's easy conquest, due to his love for Deacon, are all thought to make the reader smile and dream, more than make him cry. http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/744256.html sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Whoops! I gave this book 5 stars after the first read in 2011 and only 3 stars after the second in 2014. I'm not sure what grabbed me about it back then, but there really wasn't anything all that special here. A lot of the M/M romance I read in early 2011 rated really high for me because it was all new and I COULD. NOT. GET. ENOUGH.
But this was still a nice, short story about 2 nice men given a second chance at love, so I can recommend it. ( )
