Date: 01 2, 2014
A true friendship can be the most valuable thing in your life. It wasn't very difficult to empathize with Ryan and his reasons for keeping his attraction and desires about Sam a secret. Let's face it, those are tough things for men to talk about at the best of times, so fearing the ending of a best friend relationship that has lasted thirteen years is a legitimate reason to keep quiet.Ryan is a high school English teacher. His best friend, Sam, is a well published author of romantic suspense novels. Heterosexual romantic suspense. Ryan has never told Sam he's gay and he's never told him he's been in love with Sam for years. What would be the point? Sam is straight and Ryan will do anything to not lose their friendship. Now Sam is home from his latest book tour and it looks like he wants to talk to Ryan about an idea he has to write a gay male romance. Huh. Wonder where he got that idea?'Just Between Us' is JJ Scotts' first published work and although the story line was exceedingly predictable, I thought the author did a very good job. Considering it is a short story, the author created likable characters, good dialogue, and a fairly intense sex scene. It would have been nice to have it fleshed out a little more, but overall I enjoyed it. Good job, JJ!NOTE: This book was provided by the author for the purpose of a review on Rainbow Book Reviews
