Miller is a buff, burly construction worker who also happens to be transgender. He knows who he is and what he wants. And that is a partner to share his life with. And suddenly he has his eye on one man.

Demetri is a nerdy history professor. He has been negatively conditioned by exes and has poor self-esteem and self-confidence. His idea of fun is hanging out with his tortoise and knitting him shell covers. He cannot believe that Miller is really interested in someone like him.

I adored these two! Miller is such a strong character and has such a positive outlook on life. He just tells it like it is and has a good sense of humor. But even with his confidence, he still does have some vulnerability and insecurities. I felt bad for Demetri since he just has such negative self-thoughts but he is really sweet and pretty adorkable. I loved that Miller pushes him out of his comfort zone and works to try to build up his self-esteem and sense of empowerment. 

This installment is sweet, witty, sexy, emotional, and inspiring. It really comes down to trust and being brave enough to take a risk. These guys are just so good together. They both just really needed to be enough for someone and to feel accepted, appreciated, supported, and safe. They really touched my heart. 

I thought the author did a really good job with the transgender aspects of the story and it was both informative, honest, and sometimes there was a bit of humor about the situation thrown in. Miller is just so likable and so true to himself. And Dem is on his own journey to repair his thought processes regarding intimacy.

This brings back all of our fave bears and couples and I am excited about the next one.  I also liked Dem's friends Auggie and Eddie. And I am really hoping the introduction of some other new guys means that we might be getting a spin-off series too! If so, I am there for it!
