Borrowed Heart by Andrew GreyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I love a book that features main characters that have known each other a while and something changes where they finally see the other. This was so good I couldn't stop reading.
Robin was born with a bad heart. A lifetime of surgeries and a transplant later, he's a tour guide for a small gay tourist company in Germany. After being left by Mason, his ex, five years into the relationship, he's destined to be alone. And since he figures he doesn't have much time left, he's resigned himself to that fate.
Johan takes chances. He likes to live and be happy. As the driver of the tour bus, he's watched Robin and knows he's holding himself back, but he doesn't understand his motives. So, he makes his interest known on this special tour and hopes to change both their lives for the better.
I loved Johan's lust for life. He was just so present in everything he did. All of his actions were thought out and caring. Robin was more sweet and somewhat innocent. He was the type of guy who could read a situation and add fun or reduce drama in an instant. They were a perfect match.
Their story was sweet. The romance took off, and while most of the intimate scenes were off page, Andrew Grey's writing left you with an obvious feeling of the growth of their love and relationship. It all flowed very well and was low on angst. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story.
