Loved this book! I loved how Drew had to grow up and accept the new realities of his life. I love how Nathan had to admit his feelings and then help Drew overcome his past. The sexual tension between the two men kept me turning the pages. So good.

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Christine. You seem like an interesting person, as well as a prolific and accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
