"Expectations" is the first instalment in talented new writer Liz Borino's family saga of the Taylor twins. Without going too heavily into the plot, Chris and Matt Taylor stand to receive a very significant trust fund if they meet the stipulations set out by their powerful, and extremely unloving, father. The characters and plot are developed at a good pace, and even though this story is written with the point of view changing at a frequent and rapid rate, I settled into the storyline very quickly and was reluctant to have to put it down!
One of the twins, Chris, and his partner Aiden, share a relationship of deep love, understanding and passion. Borino does a wonderful job in presenting this without the over use of descriptive erotica in their intimate scenes, which can often be the case with m/m romances. The other twin, Matt tore at my heart strings to the point where I found myself immersed in the need to help him overcome his life struggles and find happiness with Carley. The villain in this story, the father of Chris and Matt is a monster. There is no other word to describe him.
Borino does not hold back in putting the main characters through hell and demonstrating that life is not always a bed of roses. It is a captivating story from a great new writer! I have now become entrenched in the lives of these characters and as an avid reader, I am left wanting more. Thanks Liz Borino for a wonderful story! Now onto Book No: 2 - "What Money Can't Buy"......
