Jerry is having a bad day and when Mick shows up it only gets worse but to his surprise the man comes back to apologize. Things like that never happen and when Mick actually speaks in a civil tongue Jerry has no idea what to do. Can he befriend the one man who constantly harassed him and others for just being who they are? Mick has lived under the rule of his preacher father and taught to hate but something is awakening in him, something that he does not understand; could he really be gay? All his life he was taught that people like that were the ultimate sinners but the ones that he met were good men especially Jerry.  Could Jerry truly understand and help him through it all or is his father right?I loved this story. Jerry is a wonderful man and after his recent break up we learn that he is not as confident as we think. Yet he cares deeply for everyone even Mick. He cannot turn his back on the man and it doesn't help that he is attracted to him either. Watching Jerry and Mick develop a friendship was a great read and it was nice to see it go beyond that. Mick must decide what he truly wants and if he is willing to fight for it. Jerry stands by his friends no matter what and Mick soon becomes someone he will stand up for but he can only help him along so far. Mick must make the leap himself. This book had me right from the start. I was pulled in to the story right from the start and it did not want to let go. I enjoyed seeing all the men together and standing by Jerry no matter what he chose to do.  Sometimes people deserve a second chance and they will prove themselves worthy of it, Mick sure does.I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
