Marshmallow Mountain: Big Boys Small Spaces, Book 1

Okay, so this is my first book co-written by these authors. I've read some books by A.J. that I loved and have some books by M.A. in my TBR list, so the fact I read the blurb and had to read this book, which I could not put down, is everything! I'm a big Eminem, aka Marshall Mathers, fan, so that intro hooked me, but then I read more, and Marshall and Marshall (Data) stole my heart and kept the pages turning. They were wholesome, sassy, sexy and so in love. The story starts with these two men who have been together for eight years going through a break up that happened 6 months before. Marsh breaks up with Data in a vague way that doesn't do the love they shared all those years justice, so when Data randomly gets a call from Marsh after all these months he harbors a bit of hope that maybe he's calling to get back together since he's still in love with Marsh and is hurt by the break up. But when the call is about packing up and selling their cabin in the mountains, Data realizes that maybe it's time to move on for real. What Data doesn't know is that Marsh is just as much still in love with him as well, which should make this an interesting weekend. What neither expects is to be snowed in halfway through that weekend. Things are tense with hurt feelings and nostalgia and cause both men to look deeper into their relationship. Data's hurt is still very much there, but there's also Marsh's insecurity and his dad's declining health swirling around. Some big truths and talks…

This was a pretty good book although I thought it was a little too long and was, in no way, low angst. It took me a long time to warm up to Marsh after the cruel way he dumped Data. However, by the end of the book I was really into these two characters and actually enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward to Bryce's story.

Overall the book was good. However, I really wish there would have been a caution about the father having Alzheimer's dementia badly, it ruined the book for me.
