@Christine M.: Late. I know I am. Found this review through Shuzluva's Best of 2010 List. I had the exact same reaction as Christine M. before I even finished reading the review. Just need to fish out my CC. :D

[...] with gay stereotypes in ways that I adore. It’s why I liked Jez Morrow’s tidy little Force of Law and Anah Crow’s dark, violent Uneven. The angst and heartbreak and pain is also a big plus in [...]

@Saien: If by "traditional" you mean "print," then no, I don't think so. You can buy it in a variety of e-formats at Torquere, though. Sorry.

Is this book in traditional format? I went to Amazon and didn’t see it. Only saw a few by this author in Kindel.

That makes sense. I’ve not been able to finish a book because I couldn’t stand the heroine. It still sounds really good though so I may just have to give it a go & see if it flies. Thanks.

@Ivy: I like…romances. I don’t care whether they’re m/f, m/m, f/f, m/m/f, m/f/m. If they’re good strong romances, with lots of emotion, angst, and hot sex, I’m all over them. I will admit, I really like m/m romances. I like seeing TWO strong men submit to love just as much as I enjoy seeing one in m/f romances. So, what I get out of it is just…a romance. I will also say, though, that I absolutely do NOT identify with the heroine and/or the female character. So, that might be where we differ.

@Alla: Law's reaction to the road rage/gay bashing incident. Tom asks him a question after they make love, a serious question about what he'd done. I totally thought he had, too. And I was totally going to go with it and was a little freaked that I liked him that much TO go with it.

@Joan/SarahF: You sold me on this book too, I bought it today and read in one sitting. LOVED it, so refreshingly different from many m/m romances and at the same time as you said uses recognizable tropes.

But I just have to ask now, because I am just too curious, what awful scene you were referring to in the review that Law did?

I understand you do not want to spoil, but could you at least hint in some way?

Thanks

Straight female. I’m a reader who, when I read erotic and other romance, relate to the heroine. I get lost in the book…I’ve tried the f/f and can’t relate to that. Not that the books were bad, they just didn’t appeal to me. I can’t put myself there, so to speak. I can relate to the m/f/m. The book reviewed sounds really good and I just wondered how a woman relates to the m/m or does the gender just kinda fade away. I don’t think I’m alone in the relating thing..(?) I’m truly curious..

@Ivy: Not sure what you mean by "a sf." And I'm not sure what else there IS to get out of any book besides a good story. Well, no, of course there's other things, but that's certainly the first thing, in my mind. And this was an exceptionally good story about two people falling in love. They just happened both to be men.

I’ve never really read much m/m & only if there was an f in there somewhere. Emma Holly’s~Menage, like that. This does sound really good though….Out of curiosity, what does a sf get out of m/m other than a really good story?

@Lou and @Kirsten: I'm SO glad you liked it! Like I said, such an unexpected gem of a book. And @Lou: I love your description of Law. I think the title works so well. :)

Thank you so much for the review. I read it and loved it. I also downloaded the author’s other books at Amazon’s Kindle store.

I don’t read a lot of m/m romance, but your review sold me.

So I bought the book, and I read it, and I LOVED it.

It was so good, and I didn’t want the story to end. Law was this unstoppable force of nature. A very delicious one at that. Heh. :D

Off topic kind of but I’d pay money to see a Lamborghini Diablo parked outside of a jiffy lube!
Sounds like a book to buy. I love reading positive reviews.
