Ryan and John are inspiring and there is so much love in their lives. I am humbled by the struggles they are navigating and their commitment to each other and their family. Thank you for the education. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Growing pains for John and Ryan (and others) *by E***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2017* “Life, Some Assembly Required” by Kaje Harper is part of ‘The Rebuilding Year’ series and continues the saga of former firefighter Ryan and head groundskeeper John as they work out the permutations of their relationship, complete with challenges provided by their respective families. Family drama escalates and the life the couple is building together is challenged by their respective relatives. The family is growing, in more than one way, and it is up to Ryan and John to decide how to handle the new challenges coming their way, hopefully by growing as a couple as well.This contemporary m/m romance provides a great look at the complications of blending families, particularly when acceptance is in short supply among those who should be one’s biggest supporters. There are multiple sobering issues touched upon, including the complications of pregnancy, the difficulty of establishing one’s identity while going through the challenges of being a teen, and the shock of being harshly judged for who you are loving. I was a bit surprised to discover that this story was more of a character study and not an intense romantic suspense the way the first in the series was, but I was delighted to be able to see how the relationship was maturing between two fantastic guys who have found a way to trust, despite betrayals in their respective pasts.One of the things I enjoy most about this author is her ability to blend angst and romance and to depict that tremulous quality of a flowering relationship that is challenged by both one’s own doubts and the pressures due to the expectations of others. I always have many ‘aww’ moments when reading Ms. Harper’s stories because they remind me of the wonderful benefits of finding someone who you can lean on unconditionally, who accepts you, scars and all. I feel that one can read this as a stand-alone story but that it will be enhanced by having read the first in the series and I definitely hope that there are still more tales in store that feature this wonderful couple.A version of this review was submitted to Night Owl Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Former Firefighter, now Med-Student, Ryan, and Landscaper and Father of Teens, John, Deal with Life After HEA *by A***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2015* Reading "The Rebuilding Year" first is recommended, as this book has the same main characters. The author is good about making books stand on their own, even in a series, but you'll still miss a lot about their history if you read out of order.I really loved The Rebuilding Year. Ryan was a former fireman, seriously injured and starting over in a new life with a bad leg and as a medical student. He meets John, who takes care of the college's grounds, and who is dealing with a selfish ex and lack of custody of his kids. To top it off, they have both previously considered themselves straight and there is some seriously creepy, dangerous stuff going on at campus. It's almost too much, but Kaje Harper manages to make it work, and the characters and their relationship are just too good and memorable to go wrong at any rate.This continuation is welcome because of those characters and that relationship. There is no extra bit of craziness--no murder and mayhem, but dealing with the aftermath, yes. And dealing with the continuing relationship between two men who formerly identified as straight and have other things in life to deal with. It's enough conflict. And thankfully it isn't over-blown into annoyingly fake major conflict! There are plenty of things in their lives that they need to sort out without creating silly sources of conflict.I love how there aren't any extreme personalities, and yet all the characters feel lively and engaging. There is a subtlety and depth to the writing that is more than enough to make this an exciting read without anything blowing up. Seriously, you know we read romances for the relationship (sure, sex scenes are good, too, and there are enough here, but if we wanted ONLY that, we'd just read erotica), and there needs to be a strong plot to go along with it, and it's all here.Read "The Rebuilding Year" first and I guarantee that if you liked it at all, you'll like this even better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/23929613-life-some-assembly-required-paperback-june-9-2015](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/23929613-life-some-assembly-required-paperback-june-9-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
