(FROM JACKET) At the end of "Just as I Am", Raymond Tyler, Jr., was beginnning a relationship with Trent, a fraternity brother from his college days, while Nicole had found love with Jared, Raymond's buddy from Atlanta. As "Abide With Me" opens, Raymond and Trent are settled in Seattle, where Trent's career as an architect has blossomed and Raymond's law practice is booming. All seems well.

I would give this 3.5 stars if I could. It was a very readable book and provided a fantastic next chapter to the story of Raymond and Trent, Jared and Nicole, and set us up for Basil's next adventures on the down-low. I think the third-person narration distanced me too much from the story so I didn't enjoy this one as much as I expected. It provided a great setup for the next instalment, though which I can't wait to read.

LOVED THIS book. First of all, it's written by a gay black man, and has all kinds of love and sex in it. It's full of faith, love, honesty and family. It also has lying, treachery, cheating, and sickness. He has the ability to have at least ten different stories going on, intertwining them all, and allowing you to follow them all. I love this author and will keep this book to reread!

An excerpt from my readers response notebook
Awww...why?? So on one hand, I feel sorry for Basil. It seems like he's finally getting his life together. He's letting go of the anger of the past. He finally has a family that provides unconditional love and is not out to hurt him or take advantage of monetary benefits. And then here comes Yancey...manipulative only looking out for herself and burned by her mother...not caring about anyone. She's the last one that needed to come into hi More...

Didn't even bother to finish this one. Felt like the writing was stilted.

Abide With Me is fun to read on a soap opera level, and functions as a kind of mental popcorn. But has Harris grown as a writer over the last five years and with five commercially successful books? His primary motivation as a writer seems to provide a sanitized, yet titillating look at gay lives and gay sex. Readers are urged to demand better quality writing, and to demand growth from the authors they support.
