After filing charges that put his abusive ex-Dom behind bars, Jesse Turbul relocates halfway across the country, hoping to escape his past—but, of course, it's never that easy. When Jesse meets third-year law student Aadon at the library where he works, their mutual attraction is instant and obvious.

Despite the sparks, they just can't seem to make it work. Aadon is mired in guilt over his inability to help his older brother, damaged by events far too similar to Jesse’s past. Jesse is stuck in his own desperate wish to forget the painful shadow that continues to threaten him and any hope of a happy future.

The only way to move forward is for Jesse to acknowledge he’s broken and for Aadon to accept he can’t make him better.

- Better is the kind of story to read when you want the story to take a hold of you and make you think. It wasn't really as entertaining as it was thought provoking. I enjoyed the subtle nuances of domination and submission in Aadon and Jesse's relationship and I wish that aspect would have been taken even further. Instead, the plot seemed to linger on Jesse's mistrust. I find the concept of simultanously pushing yourself and holding yourself back a weird notion, and though this issue was very prevalent, it wasn't really thoroughly explored in a satisfactory way. I also felt that the book lacked structure, but the raw materials for a great story were all there.

- Jaime has written a touching love story. The story of Jesse and Aadon develops in spite of or maybe because of Jesse's past pain and his BDSM relationship gone terribly wrong.
  While Aadon struggles with his own brother's tragedy they grow to understand and accept their developing relationship.
  I hope Jaime is planning a sequel with further development of all the people involved in this love story.Ricky just needs his own story.
  I highly recommend this book as it is one of the best M/M stories I have read and I have read many authors of this genre.

- I usually don't leave reviews for books but I felt that I had to for this book. It is an absolutely amazing read. The writing is intelligent and the characters are beautiful and stunningly real. While at times it was very hard to read (Jesse and Aadon's brother Ricky's stories are heartbreaking) the ending left me smiling. I strongly encourage this read to anyone who values good writing, characters that have been thoroughly fleshed out and a touching love story.
