[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Romance, M/M, HEA] Happy O'Brian spent the better part of his life isolated from the rest of the world. He was told he was evil down to his soul. It was physically beat into him on a daily basis. He lived with it, believing that his ultra conservative religious grandparents were right until the day his mother was attacked. Seeking help changed Happy's life in ways he could never imagine and showed him a world he didn't know existed. Answering a disturbance call, Deputy Marc Walker meets a man that shocks him with his gentleness. When he discovers Happy's true nature, Marc wants to know everything about the man. He wants to show him the world. When the past rears its head, and their lives are put in danger, Happy tries to do the right thing and distance himself from his handsome deputy. But Marc has other plans for his gentle giant and he's not going to let a little thing like getting shot or having escaped prisoners gunning for them interfere with those plans. Happy will get his happy ever after. Note: Some graphic depiction of extreme violence against the hero when he was a minor. ** A Siren Erotic Romance No library descriptions found. |

Happy is an amazing man. He suffered terribly as a child, abused by bible-thumping grandparents who were beyond cruel, with his equally abused mother as the only person he could trust and love. How Happy survived what he did can only be called a miracle, but even the permanent damage he suffered does not stop him from embracing life once he finally gets away from his a**hole grandfather. Happy’s way of looking at the world is very different, and I loved how simple his thinking is. There is no hiding from the truth or trying to be politically correct, Happy has an innate sense of right and wrong that is enviable and he doesn’t let anyone tell him differently. He may be slower than some people but he does learn, and his inner compass will not steer him wrong. I loved following him through the first stirrings of romantic love, and watching him figure out what was going on, then opening up to Marc, was a real joy.
Marc is also pretty special. He is one of those men who look beyond the obvious, and his sense of who Happy is proves to be very accurate. He is also very sensitive to Happy’s needs, yet doesn’t treat him like a kid or like someone less mentally able. Marc is a good deputy, and once he has fallen for Happy (which is pretty much immediately upon meeting him). Marc is determined to do everything he can to make Happy even happier. He has a huge fight ahead of him, but Marc does not give up easily—or at all. I loved Marc’s ideas and way of showing Happy what he’s been missing, like introducing him to the farmers market or even strawberry milkshakes. Too cute!
If you like your romances on the sweet side and are willing to suffer with the main characters until they get there, if gentle giants and the men who love them are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is as sweet and hot as it is emotionally touching, then you will probably like this novel as much as I did.
