Wow - this book is incredible.  I knew it would be, as I have had the pleasure of following the author on various social media sites and he had been kind enough to provide a few snippets and concepts here and there.  Plus having been absolutely slayed by one of his previous novels, Memorizing You, I knew I was in for an amazing ride.  This story, The Price of Dick, takes you through many years of photographer J.J. Johnstone's life... you learn that it has not been easy for JJ from his earliest beginnings.  Author Skinner doles out tidbits of JJ's background like breadcrumbs on a lonely path and after you gobble up each bit, you fall deeper into the story.  JJ meets Richard "Dick" Fitch and what transpires in his life from this point on is a mind-blowing, riveting, infuriating, jaw-dropping tale of life and love and righteousness.  When I finished the book earlier this morning, I had to sit quietly for a while to recover.  Then I felt a strong need to wrap JJ up in a soft warm blanket and go kick some Dick ass.I really loved this story and I highly recommend it if you enjoy M/M stories with more than the typical love-story pattern of boy meets boy, boy falls in love with boy, and boys live happily ever after together.If I could give more stars for this story, I would. It's worth at least 10 shining, loving gold stars...each one wearing yellow running shorts.... with yellow shoelaces.Read it, you will not be disappointed.
