Review: A book you simply must read
Rating: 5 out of 5

I am a beta reader for this book as a more-than-willing favor to the author.At its heart Transgression is a story of acceptance. Acceptance of others but mostly acceptance of self, loving oneself with all the flaws, real or imagined, that entails. This is a magnificent story about people that have to overcome their own self-doubt to find love. There are secrets that once revealed might tear them apart but it might also finally allow them to live the life they are meant to lead.We get to watch Zach, an up and coming actor who is hiding his bisexuality, and Sky, a MtF transsexual that has been through more than any one person should be forced to endure but has managed to keep her inner beauty intact, find each other. They have to work through their own demons and fight outside forces in order to work to try to keep the happiness they have found with each other. The secondary characters include, among others, a very well-crafted villain that will make your skin crawl, a best friend that has his own secrets to deal with (and that I dare you not to fall in love with), and a cute dog.This book has all the earmarks of a Theo Fenraven story; clean writing, amazing descriptions, and characters that you will love and root for but it is more than that. It steps beyond the normal boundaries of a romance book and introduces the reader to people they may not think about on a regular basis. It will make you realize, underneath it all, we are all just people that want to be recognized and loved for who we are.If you want to explore an author that will not only make you feel but also question your assumptions about life in general Theo Fenraven is that author. Start with Transgression or read your way to it but be sure to explore the rest of his catalog!
