Definitely original. Wholly interesting with an intriguing setup.

Runt is barely getting by. He’s contracted with “big corporate” to farm a planet for future colonization. With seven years of service he hopes to succeed in order to become a shareholder. However, Runt is down on his luck, profitability slowly slipping through his fingers as he’s forever falling behind, trying to do a multitude of tasks meant for two.

Fortuitously, supplies finally land, and instead of a new wife, he gets the hulking mute beast, Ox. Paranoia runs rampant in Runt’s brain, wondering if Ox is there to terminate his contract due to his subpar performance. However, Ox is nothing but above board, and they figure out a tentative partnership, working in sync to get the farm in order.

What follows is the synergy of how these two cohabitate, complementing each other quite well despite, or because of, their differences. What also unfolds slowly is the awkward, uneasy, but palpable sexual tension.

I’m a goner for gentle giants, and apparently mutism really ups the ante. Admittedly, I wanted more explanations and fleshing out the background stories. What was present though, kept my attention. Especially unique was how these two made up for their size differences with creative ways in the bedroom (titillating to say the least). Overall, a sweet, scifi take, with a couple dashes of smexy, on the evolution of changing one’s expectations to find a happiness they didn’t know they wanted.

È molto più di un romanzo erotico (nella fattispecie, un gay romance). L'autore è molto abile nel tracciare le caratteristiche della società americana (dalla disgregazione familiare al lavoro sottopagato, dall'emarginazione alla violenza contro gli omosessuali).

E tutto questo senza risultare noioso o didascalico. Anzi. Gli scambi di battute tra i protagonisti e i pensieri di Griffin (dal punto di vista del quale si svolge la narrazione) sono esilaranti! Decisamente più divertente della maggior parte dei romance femminili.

I protagonisti, Dante e Griffin mi sono risultati subito simpatici. Dante è uno di quei tipi che non hanno nemici: sempre allegro, generoso con tutti, il migliore amico che si possa desiderare. Griffin, più introverso e con la testa sulle spalle, è una controparte perfetta per Dante.

La faccenda del sito porno, un po' mi ha fatto sganasciare dalle risate per la situazione in cui quei due si vanno a ficcare; un po' fa riflettere su come un dissesto economico possa portare le persone laddove non avrebbero mai messo piede di loro spontanea volontà (anche se c'è la sorpresa finale, ma non voglio spoilerare).

La scene di sesso sono poche e non preminenti sulla storia: anche queste oscillano tra il divertente (l'imbarazzo di fronte alle telecamere del sito porno), il dolce (quando sboccia l'amore) e il violento (un amico di Dante e Griffin non è stato fortunato come loro...).

L'happy end è assicurato. Con molte risate e qualche riflessione priva di moralismi in mezzo. Libro consigliatissimo!

Audiobook:
This one pulled me in before I even realized it. It held me (happily) in its clutches until the end. It kept going deeper and deeper and maintained its authenticity...two persons who have no clue about relationships somehow created a love story that kept me "all in" through the journey.

Cliches are born out of truth, so...
Trip and Silas were everything I didn't expect and became everything I hope for in a relationship because of what these two found together....theirselves. Creating with your SO falls into that ideal, as well.… (meer)

A deliberate choppiness to the spoken lines, especially in the throes of sexual passion or creative inspiration, is obviously a stylistic choice but not always successful. I read "Horn Gate" first, and this was a good companion. Annoying that both this and "Horn Gate" are called labeled (___ Series Book 1)."
