Until it's freed from the closet, love will only wither on the vine. Cole Wheaton is out in every sense of the word--out of the closet, and recently out of a bad relationship. He hopes the new contract to design a garden for the McLeans will be the distraction he needs to get his life back on track, but there's something about David McLean that intrigues him...and sets off warning bells. Somewhere in the middle of a bonding chat with the passionate landscape designer, David realizes he's attracted to Cole. It's nothing new--he's secretly been acting on these impulses for a while. But there's something different, something stronger with Cole that tells him acting out with Cole will be a life-changer. Determined not to saddle himself with another closet-case, Cole does his best to resist the temptation David presents. But David, watching Cole's easy acceptance of his own sexuality, realizes it's time to stop living a lie. An open marriage and cheap one-night stands aren't enough, not anymore. Cautious friendship grows into affection...then passion. But until they're both ready to cut ties to their pasts, the obstacles still walling them apart could be too high for love to breach. Warning: Contains drunken licking between friends. May cause a sudden interest in garden design.… (more)

This was good, it was sweet, but I read it just a few days after [b:For the Living|13552070|For the Living|L.A. Witt|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1332111776s/13552070.jpg|19120049], and they were pretty similar, so it bugged me a bit. This one was well written, but I felt it could have been longer, fleshed out a bit more. ( )

Was a bit too short, resolution seemed hurried. Like always, I loved the characters and the writing. ( )

Would have been a solid four stars but it felt like a chapter was left out between the MCs first shag and the next chapter. I loved the slow build up of their relationship but, once they got in bed, it felt like some of the chemistry disappeared. It returned afterwards so I guess the sex scene just didn't do it for me, as sweet as it was.

There was a general lack of resolution and tying up of loose ends (Stephanie's feelings about David moving on so fast and how it affected her relationship with Cole, the whole moving in thing, David bottoming, to name a few) that left me unsatisfied, but I did enjoy the story overall. ( )
