Jazz and Sapphire by Kimberly Burke & J. Falcon

[reviews_and_ramblings]

The story of Daniel and Aube begin in the middle of their relationship. They are togheter since three year now, and during the story we come to know that Daniel has met Aube in a Montreal Hospital after Aube has tried to committe suicide cause a rape and the ostinately refuse of his mother to accept his omosexuality.

Daniel is a former soldier, now self-defense instructor, both for the police than for social assistance. He is big and gentle, quite and strong. He loves Aube and believe in him like man and artist. He wants that his lover learn again to fly.

Aube is a flamboyant canadian artist, all energy. He can't be still for long, and he needs Daniel in his life to balance all this energy. But Daniel is not a oppressive character, he doesn't put Aube in a fluffy box and hides him from the world. Like he says in the book, Aube is like a butterfly who has to fly and he is the ivy where he can find rest.

In this book you will not find so much sex, but instead a story of two men who fight against the world to build a life togheter. I can't say which character I love more between Daniel and Aube: they are different like fire and water, but like fire and water they are essential to life, and you can't have one without the other...
