Review written for mmgoodbookreviews.wordpress.comThis is the second book in  the  A Southern Thing Series, you really do need to read these in order. Sending Jack off to Jesus picks up where the last book left off with Jack now being under the watchful eye and threat of his tyrant of a father. In my opinion, Nathanial Miller should be the poster boy for family planning… and he has 10 kids... and a preacher to boot…Sorry about the rant. He has pulled the ‘if you don’t do as I say I will hurt your baby brother’ card to Jack. See what I mean? So, Jack is conflicted. He wants to  hurry up and graduate, hoping for a scholarship so he can get on with his life and make a life for him and his boyfriend Andrew, but if he leaves he fears for Billy who at the tender age of 7 is very girly, and very proud of himself. Now I will talk about characters.I will start with baby brother Billy. For only 7 this kid is a dream. I absolutely love Billy and he deserves a story of his own (hint, hint). He is such a sweet thing, and confident.  In this book it is mostly Jack and Andrew but there i some scene with Billy that is a heart wrencher. I could just see him looking at awe at the photos of the two men and professing “How beautiful” then growling and yelling at his dad how ugly he is... yep the 7 year old is a scene stealer!  Jack is also a very great character. For only 18 he is one heck of a responsible boy.  I can say the same for Andrew. Both are fabulous characters. So I will say if you  like amazing characters as you can see here we have great main characters, supporting characters ( I didn’t mention Jacks mom she really steps up here and becomes a game changer) she is the epitome of character growth. (if Jack’s dad  sounds like meanie of the year you should get a load of Andrew’s dad he makes jacks dad look good.Ok, so let’s move on to the story. As I said it is a continuation of the last book and does end as a cliffhanger too, but if you’re a big Sara York fan you know what to expect.. nail biting suspense!! This story is full of angst, love, strong emotion and suspense. I cannot wait for the next.I highly recommend this if you like ongoing series that end in cliffhangers making you beg for  more, boundless love, spunky seven year olds, amazing character, sweet, but hot sensual mansex, stories that make you think, over-controlling parents,  and nail-biting suspense  and a heart-wrenching story.( be sure to have a box of tissue on hand)
