I would say 3.5 if half stars were an option. This was a nice love story but it was a very slow story to me. I love Ariel's books but this one just never really picked up the pace. It had a small town - m o s e y - feel to it that I couldn't shake. The sex scenes were nice, not overly graphic but I could feel the passion between the two. There was a lot of interesting dynamics going on with the power exchange between the two strong men. The mystery was pretty easy to figure out. There were a few huh? moments regarding the killer but that wasn't the most important part anyway. The romance was front and center, it just took foreveh to get them together and comfortable. The small town flavor of the townfolk all rallying around the gay men and eventually the couple on their little island in the late 19th century was a bit far fetched too. So many just accepted it that it made it more like utopia and that in turn made it hard to suspend disbelief.
