He wants to dabble in the forbidden without acknowledging his sexuality (he’s straight) or suffer the damaging and long lasting consequences of adding another to his marriage bed just to have his cake and eat it too. He doesn’t know who he is or what he wants. He is selfish, careless, spineless and oblivious. After reading this novella, I can honestly say I hate his character. In, Tempted, I never cared for James (Alex’s best friend and Anne’s husband). I was glad he stayed strong at the end of the book and didn’t allow James to ruin their friendship, which meant everything to him, because of James’ own lack of self awareness and stupidity. I also gained a little more respect for his character, too. He just wanted to be loved and accepted for being himself. I loved Alex in Tempted and though his character is riddled with arrogance and flaws, there’s also a vulnerability that not only was endearing but broke my heart, too. This novella gives some insight into Alex’s character (who is bisexual) and his psyche during his summer fling with his best friend, James (heterosexual friend he’s been in love with for years) and James’ wife, Anne (he fell in love with her in Tempted). Everything Changes is Alex’s POV of Tempted.
