This is my third book by ms Wells and I am slowly getting addicted to her writing. It can be because she writes about things closer to home, but it is still enjoyable.Brett and John are both dedicated teachers. At least, John knows he will be when he gets a job. And he gets this one in a Manchester school. The problem is that Brett is John's headteacher and also his supervisor since it is John's first year of teaching. Besides that, Brett had not even come out to his surroundings. He lives out his sexuality only when he's away. John who had taken his time to accept that he is gay, even though his younger brother has been out since he was 16 and is even married now (there is obviously a previous book about him, that I have not read). One might have thought that it would have been easier for John to accept the fact that he preferred men, being close to his brother.Tentative start to the career and new sexual orientation, seasoned with growing feelings for Brett, means that John's life is a bit of a roller coaster. But it is not much better for Brett. He is fighting a losing battle. It peaks when John's life is threatened.Some creative thinking gives us a very good solution to their dilema. I'd love to hear about them a few years into the future. I would think that they could be good parents to one or more children.
