I love all of Josh Lanyon's book, and this one was great too. Although, if I'm to be completely honest as a reviewer, I'd have to admit that the first book was better. I found myself skipping parts - not because they didn't have anything to do with the plot, because they DID - if was just that I had no true desire to read them - but not because they were boring. I was just being selfish as a reader, wanting to read the things that got them back together - not things that had temporarily drove them apart. I'd read the parts I was curious about, but I generally skipped most parts because I didn't want to read the flashbacks, despite the fact that it was the flashbacks that really told the story. But I wanted to read the here and now - which I found dazzling because I love the character of Dan so much. His hidden insecurity, his obvious love for Sean - I loved it all. I wanted to read the outcome of all the pain and hurt and misunderstandings, and not truly work through all the truths that made this book happen. You won't be disappointed if you buy this, believe me. Josh Lanyon does such an amazing job at conveying so much in his stories, and I think if you loved The Dark Horse, you'll love this just as much.
