This review is from: Live For Love (Yaoi) (Paperback)

Yasuie is a Private Investigator but an impoverished one. That is fine as long as he has Yoshiyuki with him. For 7 years these 2 guys have work together not acting upon their feelings for each other. But maybe both guys are just as confused over their exact feelings. Are they just employer/employee or friends or more than that? They only know they care for each other despite the constant bantering.
Yasuie is the cheerful and carefree character with a heart of gold while Yoshiyuki is the brooding worry wart with an unhappy past. Abandoned as a baby in a locker, Yoshiyuki never found his own place in life until he meets Yasuie. But does he know that? Things come to a crossroad when Yoshiyuki reconciles with his adopted family and has to choose between family duty and Yasuie. As for Yasuie he is not about to let his guy go.

As this is an adaptation of a novel, there is an enjoyable and seamless plot here with some hilarious moments. Both characters are well developed and likable. However some readers may not like the rape here but it is essential to the story.
