Learning To Feel

Learning To Feel - N.R. Walker I really enjoyed this book, it was sweet. It does need a good edit, but I can't complain too much, since that warning is right in the blurb. Since this used to be fanfic, I couldn't help but to keep picturing their "fic" faces, so Nathan was Edward and Trent was Jasper, and I'm fine with that. There were really no similarities to their fanfic counterparts though, so don't let that make you wary of reading.Nathan has spent his 27 years always feeling slightly apart from everyone, and never quite knowing why. He quits his job at a busy Boston ER and moves to Belfast, Maryland, to work in a sleepy little ER there, and that's where he meets Trent, his house painter, and starts to feel things he's never felt before. Friendship, a sense of belonging, and a sexual attraction like never before. To a man. This is repeated a lot, just in case you missed it- Nathan is attracted to a man. He's always thought of himself as more asexual. Sure, he's been with a few women, but it was never great, so he just figured sex wasn't for him. Boy was he wrong.There was slightly too much sex in this, but that's something else I chalk up to it's fanfic origins, but at least it was HOT sex. I also felt the epilogue was just a little bit *too* much happy, but that's something else I see a lot in fanfic, where the author just can't seem to let the story go. It could have ended quite wonderfully at least a chapter before the epilogue. This book was more a 3.5 stars, due to the editing issues and it going on a bit too long, and some repetitiveness, but I truly think that if the author were to go back to this and clean it up, it would be worth every bit of 4.5-5 stars, and now I'm going to check out some more of her freebies, as I think I've read all her published work already.
