They've escaped to the outside world-but can they really be free? David and Isaac have found happiness in each other's arms. In faraway San Francisco, Isaac's brother Aaron helps them explore confusing "English" life and move beyond the looming shadow of their Amish roots. For the first time, David and Isaac can be openly gay, yet they struggle to reconcile their sexuality with their faith. At least they don't have to hide their relationship, which should make everything easier. Right? But while Isaac thrives at school and makes new friends, David wrestles to come to terms with the reality of the outside world. Haunted by guilt at leaving his mother and sisters behind in Zebulon, he's overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city as he works to get his carpentry business off the ground. While David and Isaac finally sleep side by side each night, fear and insecurity could drive them miles apart. Contains mature themes.… (meer)

I wanted to write a proper review, but as this is the middle of a three book story, I'll only note that watching David spiral was painful and it was the only reason it took me so long to finish this book, and that I'm looking forward to the last installment. ( )

Yeah, I am not sure I can get my arms around this one...so I am pulling my get out of review free card on this one. Check out Momo's review here. While our ratings differ slightly, she said everything that needed to be said.
Perhaps when I get to a reread I can better put my own thoughts down.

***

I am a mess...yes, that was a rough journey but now that I see the end, it was truly and honestly brilliant. My heart hurt...my chest hurt...I couldn't breath and you know what...it was exactly what our sweet David was feeling. We took that journey with him and as hard as it was to endure it made what happens in book 3 all the better.

I will eventually put real thoughts down on this one...for now this will just have to do.


***

NTP at 63%/Start of Chapter 12

***NTP = Need To Pause***

As much as I hate to do this I need to set this book aside until the 3rd book is closer to being released.

Only days before this book was released did I even realize that this would be a trilogy. I should have waited…I should have told myself this is a middle book…it will not be easy, but I did not.

As with Book 1, this book is beautiful. The love between these two characters to so heartfelt and wonderful…



…and their discovery of the world around them is funny and eye opening….from buying underwear to seeing gay couples kiss in public.

But it is also difficult. The emotional anxieties being described through David’s POV are heartbreaking and his struggles with guilt over leaving his family are not easy to read.

I know there is a HEA waiting for them and I know they will be ok. I KNOW IT. But I need to hold off on continuing this experience until I can read the rest without months of waiting. " ( )

Amazing! Outstanding! I love it!

Book 2 in Keira's Gay Amish Romance series! If I could give it 10 stars I would. My only complaint is that it has a cliff hanger ending. I didn't know this, and really it didn't matter to me. I had to read it as soon as it came out. Some of you may want to wait for the third book in the series.

But seriously, SPRING! I have to wait to find out what is going to happen between Isaac and David till spring.

*sighs*

I can be patient.

To Anne-Marie, Becky, and Mary for their cheerleading and excellent beta work, and to Rachel for whipping this book into the shape it needed to be—and for doing it with love, as always. Thanks again to the ex-Amish who have shared their stories and answered my many questions while writing this series, and to Heidi Cullinan for freaking out about A Forbidden Rumspringa on Twitter and introducing Isaac and David to so many new readers.
