Review: Squire
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 7, 2010
Rabin Squire was looking for a second chance, and now he's pretty sure he's found it.  He's got a chance to record new material with Brent Rose of Heaven Sent, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he doesn't intend to squander.  As soon as his best friend joins him, and they find a couple new members, the Indigo Knights will be back in business.Of course, there are complications.  A big one arises in the form of Brent's cousin, Izzy, a sexy, out and proud gay man who is very interested in Rabin.  Rabin's interested right back, and for some reason that doesn't freak him out as much as it should--until he gets the chance to pick up where the Knights left off, but only if he leaves Chicago, and Izzy, far behind...As a rule, "gay for you" is not a trope I enjoy.  I make an exception for Jet Mykles, however, and she didn't let me down with Squire.  Like in her Heaven Sent series, this series promises to deliver lots of rock and roll, a huge serving of sexy guys unexpectedly falling for each other, and a pinch of angst.  Squire is a very good start.  I couldn't help but like Rabin.  He's sexy, driven, and British--a killer combination.  Energetic, pretty Izzy, who's studying to be a chef, makes a great contrast to Rabin.  Together, they're both hot and sweet.  They come together in a pretty natural way and from there things go quickly.  For a gay for you story, it's remarkably low on oh-my-gosh-I'm-gay freakouts, which is a very good thing.  The conflict comes from other things, including Rabin's attempts at a comeback and Izzy's past.  I don't want to spoil the story by giving away too much, but suffice it to say both the storyline and ending are satisfying.  Fans of the Heaven Sent series will be sure to like this new series.  I for one can't wait for the next book!CassieReviewed for Joyfully Reviewed
