Jackson is an ex-gang member who has made good as a cop. When his old mentor leaves Jackson his house, Jackson settles in and figures he's got a good life, even if he is in the closet.
When Sam shows up on his doorstep, Jackson is worried that the gang has found him. He knows Sam was part of his old crew. Sam assures Jackson that he's not out for revenge; he just wants out of the gang, the same as Jackson. Sam has admired Jackson for years, and their attraction is strong and hot. Can Jackson help save Sam from the same fate he managed to escape?
This is some of the clunkiest, most awkward writing I've ever witnessed. The dialogue is just bizarre, and the plot is weak and rushed. I have it an extra star for the premise because it could've been really cool. Weak writing ruined it.
Jackson has had some help making it to where he is now as a cop from the street. He is at a good place and thanks his lucky star and the man who made this happen for him - everyday.
Finding a now older Sam – known from his days in the gang on his doorstep with, literally a story word for word of his life before his break, he is firstly puzzled by the fact that Sam knows where he lives and secondly he knows he has to help him as much as he can.
Sam needs help to break away from the life that he is in, he looks up to Jackson, always have and sees him as his only way off the street. Convincing Jackson of his sincerity is another matter – as Sam wants alot more from Jackson than just escaping for the life he is trapped in.
Jackson knows what hero worship is and sets out to not only help Sam but give him the “talk” as well, about his choices and the need to make his own decision about his future – all the while hoping his decision is that he will be apart of Jackson's future.
AKM Miles short read from Torquere is not only filled with hope,but with a double package of naivety and experience that gives this book a quirky little feel to it. Ms. Miles always knows what elements of a protags character to use with each theme she decides on and she works her magic again in this short read.
It’s not a heavy read, but a very thought provoking one…
I find this author is just a bit too sweet for me, and I knew that but picked it up anyway. Everyone is just a bit too perfect and very clean-cut. Sam's part of a gang, but once he moved in with Jackson, he cooks, cleans, becomes the perfect little househusband. If you love this author's work and writing style, you'll love this one. If you're not familiar, this might be an okay short to start with to test it out. It was okay, but I have to admit it didn't really engagement and I kept taking breaks then going back to read a bit more rather than becoming caught up in the story.
