It’s the beginning of spring and the flowers blooming all over the yard bring back so many memories to Sloan, not all good. He is sad and lonely after losing his mother a month ago to cancer. He does have three very unusual yet close friends that have been there for them I each in his own way.The fabulous four as their friend Wyatt dubbed the group  meet every first sat o the month for Porch day, they have this as a can’t miss.  They also meet up on other days but those can be optional.Each of these guys are unique intriguing characters. Wyatt is a short and slightly chubby bear of a man and very flamboyant. He is also Pagan or a witch and works at a new age store. He adds a lot of humour and fun to the group and story. Scott is ordinary and very much a romantic, searching hard for the one true love and doesn’t believe in any God. He seems to be the go to guy of the group. Asher is very confident, cocky and a real slut. Sometimes I wondered why they guys kept him in the group at all but it all falls together at the end  and they do it for Sloan.  Sloan you can’t help but love.  He is going through hell with the loss of his mother and a bitch of a supervisor. He has lost the love of his job with the changes the supervisor insists upon.  And he still holds his love for Asher wishing the day would come that Asher would love him back.Sloan meets his sex new neighbor next door and is attracted to him the trouble is he is married and straight.  Max though has a secret and though he has denied himself all these years and been always loving husband, meeting Sloan and finding out his gay really makes brings his denial to the forefront.This is a beautifully written, poignant story of loss, love, friendship, finding yourself, coming out and life in general. It is written with such a witty fun style you can’t stop once you start.. I laughed. I cried. I cheered on Sloan, wanted to slap Asher and hug Max.  I loved the end and wanted more of these men. (Yes I am reading the next book right now) This story really struck home with me with all of Sloan’s feelings about the loss of his mother, I too lost my mom even though it was 5 years ago this week, the timing of reading this story was perfect for me. I loved how the author wrote the story in both Sloan and Max’s views and we also get internal thoughts from each guy.I highly recommend this to everyone. If you’ve been considering a MM book but it’s not really your thing read this!! It’s not about sex( though there is a little it’s not real explicit and of course  the men to talk about cocks a lot), its life, love and happiness and friendship!If you love romance, friendship, are dealing with the loss of a loved one, are pining for a love you know you will never have, harbouring a secret, just want to escape to a fun world and have good laugh and a cry,  I highly recommend this!I received a free copy of this book through MMgoodbookreviews for an honest review http://mmgoodbookreviews.wordpress.com/
