As Natural As Breathing

For Christian Darringer, life isn’t worth living. Just back from the Middle East; scarred and with permanent damage to one leg, he does not think anyone will want him for anything. Meeting a gorgeous man he finds himself thinking about constantly is not in his plans. Pulled toward the startling younger man with striking blue eyes, he begins to question a lot of things – especially his sexuality. Not one to hide from a challenge, he plunges ahead only to find himself more than just attracted to Logan who is full of life and joy, he finds himself head over heels in love.

Logan Mannette has almost everything he ever wanted: loving parents, happiness, friends and security. The only thing missing is finding the love of his life, a love that is just like his parents’. When he meets Christian at a party, everything changes. Instantly attracted, he does his best to help this sad man and quickly finds himself feeling more than he has ever felt before. Raised in a domestic discipline household, he holds that ideal as what he wants but his interest in spanking became a fetish and when Christian admits that he wants to be spanked, Logan believes he might have found the perfect man.

Just as everything begins for them, Christian’s past intercedes and one of his brothers makes waves about him dating a man. If it weren’t for Logan’s support, he might fold; but with the love of one amazing man, Christian finds that living his life rather than just existing is as natural as breathing.

I received this off of NetGalley for an honest review. 

Christian comes back from the war with scars that run deep. He was attacked by his own unit for protecting a gay man. I have to say that this is normal in our world and sad. Why cannot love be universal? I will admit being a bi man, this disturbs me. There are so many great people in the world that did nothing to deserve the hate and anger that something as simple as loving someone invokes. 

Off of my wagon..... 

Logan, a carefree gay man that lives in a world where everyone accepts who he is and still loves him. 

These two are opposites and yet, they seemed destined to meet. 

Christian is dating someone and yet, something does not feel right. A chance meeting will change his world. One kiss and his mind will go completely bonkers. 

I am not going to tell you the main story. However, this book is full of one man trying to find himself and the other being completely patient.  There are, however, problems. A brother, which represents the antithesis of the word "gay" in American society. Christian goes through what most gay people go through and it is clearly woven into this cute story. 

With all the good, there is one issue I have with this book. Christian's girfriends acceptance to his sexuality.

Overall, a very good book and I am reading the sequel right now.
