Del has been out for a long time, but he knows moving to a small southern town is going to be/could be a problem, but his love for his brother wins out over any reluctance he might have. He knows there’s going to be issues, but he’s determined to make a go of the bike shop that has been his brother’s dream and is now a reality. We met Taylor, the police officer, in the first book. He feels that he has only been living half a life, keeping most of who he is in the shadows out of the fear of losing all of the, what he imagines are the “important” things in his life. But meeting Del makes him realize that maybe what’s really important are the things that someone like Del can bring into his life and share with him. Is he ready to let his life be what he has always wanted? I absolutely loved Del. His whole “take me as I am” attitude was really refreshing, as was his obviously protective and caring nature. He meets Taylor, and he quickly comes to realize how much the younger man has been struggling and wants to help him figure things out. I felt for Taylor’s struggle. He spends so much time worrying about people finding out who he's not really enjoy life. Another great part of this story was the interactions between Del and his brother, and Chaz, the young man they hired for the shop. The "big brother vibe" was something that Del had in spades. There’s a lot to love about all these guys. For Taylor, this story is about his journey to find himself. The story is well done, even though there’s a few moments where it seemed to get…stuck for a lack of a better word, but mostly it moved along at a gentle pace. K.C. Wells is one of those authors who can always make you smile but can just as quietly break your heart once or twice along the way. This one was filled with lota of smiles. Narrator, John Solo did a magnificent job...as always...on the voices. ( )

A lovely love story that deals with the realism of the South, racism, homophobia, and religion. I enjoy K.C. Wells' writing style and the way she develops her characters. She does not cut her stories short, but allows them to develop at their own pace. ( )

Not bad

This isn't a bad story, overall, but there were things that felt somewhat problematic to me, which made it harder for me to overall enjoy. ( )
