A 5-Star rating for "And Manny Makes Three" by Trina Solet. This heartwarming story highlights the challenges faced by non-traditional families. The relationship between a gay man and his adopted son.  As life often does, life gets to be complicated when a gay male nanny is hired to help care for the young boy.  As others have mentioned, the angst may be drawn out a little more than it should have been, but I can understand from experience the fears and tensions of a relationship with a significant age difference.I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy human interest stories as the dynamics of this evolving family is a great storyline to explore the emotions and fears that come into play within this situation.  Dialogue is key to creating a great story.  The combination of strong personalities, including a 5-year old boy make for some great reading. I particularly liked how the main characters personalities played off of each other. Not only was this entertaining, but thought provoking. There are frequent erotic descriptions of intimacy between consenting adult male characters. The scenes are described in a manner that depicts the attraction, love and affection shared by the characters within the story.Those who enjoy finding grammatical and spelling errors will find them in this self-published novel. I am comfortable with the imperfections and focus on the story. Of course, there are those that will not be able to look beyond these imperfections.Personally, I really liked the story for all the reasons above. I enjoy romance and stories were the characters face fears, take risks and sacrifice for those they love. I couldn't help but feel warmth for each of the characters. As their strengths, weaknesses and insecurities were brought together, I became captivated in watching to see how the story would turn out in the end.I highly recommend this story.
