Although I wouldn't say this was the type of book that I would normally read, the story had me interested enough to stick with it, and I am so glad I did.Jonathon is completely loyal to his theater troupe and his dancing. They are like his family, but when he discovers that his real mother is seriously ill, at her prompting he tries to cut back on all the drugs and alcohol he consumes daily.  Cutting back is not going very well, until he meets Dean Winters and sparks fly.Rachel, the co-owner of the troupe is not thrilled with Jonathon seeing Dean and she makes it very clear how she feels to both of them and everyone else who will listen between drinks and bong hits.  Although she knows Jonathon is gay and does not want a relationship with him, because he is her best friend, she sees him as something she controls. Jonathan's relationship with Dean outside of the troupe house causes Rachel and the rest of the troupe to begin falling apart.Meanwhile, Jonathon beings to fall in love with Dean,  and Rachel makes things more difficult with the rest of the troupe including Jonathon's ex, Patch. Patch is barely more than a kid. When Rachel finally loses it, it is Patch who pays the price.  Jonathon continues to try and keep things together with the troupe, save his friendship with Rachel, keep an eye out for Patch, and have a relationship, something he is pretty new at.This storyline kept me involved through the whole thing. It was nice to see the troupe members and Dean sticking together when Rachel went too far and continuing to help Patch. This was a nice change of pace for me plus some seriously steamy love scenes didn't hurt either. I will be watching to see what new things will be coming from this author.
