Of the 3 books this was my favorite. Again I want to emphasize that while there is sex in the book the real story line is about a man who was abused and neglected as a small child. He was adopted by a loving family and we get to see more of that in this book. It doesn't change the unresolved issues that affect him in every aspect of his life. This book had a more involved plot and explained a lot more about the characters. I would recommend this one. If you have time to kill and want to read something.
