You have to love both characters...Quinton because of how devoted he is to life and how hard he works to make the things that are important in his life work out in spite of a huge school debt, and how he wants the people in his life to be happy. He never expected the gigantic snowstorm...he's a California boy and he had never even seen much snow much less all this white stuff. He decides that fate must hate him, because now he's stranded in this small New York town with a broken-down car and an almost empty wallet. To make matters worse...if that is even possible, the guy that owns the salvage yard and come to his rescue is his idea of a dream walking on two legs...but he seems eager to be rid of him and begins to do so by hauling him into town to the nearest...and only inn...which has no electricity...so no heat...plus it seems everyone in town hates his rescuer and the big giant just lets it all happen with a sigh. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS ABOUT??? Mac...the walking dream...has a generator, therefore he has heat...but now he also has Quinton under the same roof with him. I loved Quinton and Mac, (the walking dream). I hated the townspeople for the way they treated Mac, but I also hated Mac through most of the story for allowing it. Then we watched as both characters began to grow and evolve. Overall...it was a fun story, but it was filled with almost too many challenges that the characters had to face in the outside world, however a great deal of care is given to their evolving relationship in the "indoor" world. Nora Phoenix has beautifully provided for the mismatched characteristics of Quinton and Mac... a younger, smaller man who struggles with actually being a Dominant and the older, larger, tatted and pierced "walking dream" who desperately wants to be the young Dom's submissive. Overall, what we get is an entertaining, beautifully written, story, with loads of heart and kink. ( )

So much snow

Quentin and Augustus met under less than ideal circumstances, but it didn't stay that way.

I love how protective each of the guys is of the other. I think that they really complete each other in a very good way. ( )
