Now Seth is forced to confront the issues and insecurities of having a relationship with a much younger man that put his future with Jake at risk.

The blurb sounded very interesting and I also liked the cover. Bought it, started reading and then it just moved downward. Endless dialogues - don't get me wrong I love dialogue, but in this case it moved in circles, interspersed with thoughts, surprise, circling around the same topic. I have to say,at some point it just got tiring and nothing really happened. Judging by the blurb and my expectation, this was a missed opportunity in dealing with an interesting story line.

I gave this story 1 star because I think that anyone who is willing to write a story and put it out there for the rest of the world to read and then make comment on, be it good or bad deserves to at least be acknowledged for that, it takes guts and I respect that.
