Then one of those best friends captured Ethan's heart. Lincoln, tough yet tender, a walking contradiction. He loves Ethan too - flaws and all. He's the mose patient man on the earth and understands Ethan's PTSD.
What Linc doesn't understand is why their being initmate makes Ethan feel "dirty." Linc's not one of the men who abused Ethan, and he'd never hurt him. Ethan knows this. He believes it. Still, the "dirty" creeps in even though Ethan knows what they do together is anything but.
Linc's here now and he's going to stay. It's time for Ethan to talk to someone professionally. Ethan needs to shed his unhealthy past in order to have a healthy future with the man he loves. If Ethan doesn't, he just might lose the best thing that's ever happened to him - and there's not enough therapy in the world to get Ethan though that.
I have been waiting to read Refrain for what seems like forever now. And the main reason for that being Anne Mercier was constantly pushing back the book's release date. I understand her reasons why she had to but still. In these situations it either makes you want to read the book more, hyping it up in your head. Or it makes you not want to read the book as much as when you first heard about the book and read its synopsis.
Now that I have finished reading Refrain I'm not really sure how I feel about it. While I did like reading Ethan and Linc's story it wasn't exactly what I expected. I kind of thought it would have some simiarites to Xander and Tera's story given that they were childhood sweethearts as well. But Refrain just took place in the present, so you didn't see any of Ethan and Linc's early years. Also, there just didn't seem to be that much going on with this story. Although I did like the relationship and dynamic between Ethan and Linc this story just wasn't what I was expecting.
