My first Kelly Jensen story and it's a very nice way to start. If you like contemporary romance but you're worried about the sci-fi label, maybe don't be. Yes, it is set in alternate universe, there's excellent world building too, and there are words like 'sun' and 'dust' as expressions, but mostly it's a slow burn, character driven love story about two lonely guys, one complete with a sad past, who have shy but beautiful words and a lot of love to give to one another - over time. It's totally charming, it pulls at the heart, with adorable leads... and more. A feel good read that comes complete with a HEA.

A longer review on the blog, but a few quotes -

The memory of Loic and how he’d died shredded Gael’s emotions. He’d hoped time and distance would ease his grief, but three months and half a galaxy had made no difference. It still hurt. Sun, it hurt.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered, unsure if he spoke to Bram or Loic.
“Shh,” Bram said. “Bad luck doesn’t need an apology.”
“But—”
“I’m glad you ran to me.”

Bram hadn’t brought him out here just to warm his bed. Bram wanted to love him.
Ah, Bram. Please be patient with me. Keep to your stillness. I can be what you want, I know I can.
He could be what Bram needed—and not because he always strived to do a good job, no matter the work. This, he wanted. Really wanted. This, he almost believed, he might actually get to have.

“Bram,” Gael whispered.
“Let me love you,” Bram huffed over an erect nipple. “I’ve waited nearly three months to taste every centimeter of your skin.”

I'm very sorry that I couldn't get into this tale. I found the world slow and boring, and the characters didn't click with me - but, thank you for allowing me to try it.

A winning twist on the mail-order bride trope, "To See the Sun" takes readers to a distant planet full of strange new sights. Gael and Bram's relationship is tentative and warm, and while the action and mild peril is fairly obvious, it's still an enjoyable and compelling story.

This was an interesting post apocalyptic story with the familiar mail order bride story, but with the bride being a man instead. I quite enjoyed this, and it was written well.

A well done sci-fi. Bram is a farmer/miner on a planet that is only workable in the deep crevices. The sun on the surface is to hot for any growth. So after doing this work and living alone for a while, Bram decides to get a companion. Along come Gael. Who is running from trouble. This story is a slow burn romance.
Bram and Gael and up with some minor troubles and work towards living with and loving each other. This story is kind of sappy!
The story and plot are well done and characters are pretty good.
Low sex, more sensual tease!
Enjoyed this book.
